Aaaaaaand there's more! Via
wordweaverlynn, we have another response by Ellison regarding his groping of Connie Willis. And no, this isn't him dropping all sarcasm and misguided attempts at humor in order to make a straightforward, sincere apology. (We can only dream.)
Since jfpbookworm did such a great job deconstructing the first "apology", I think it's only fitting that we subject Ellison's newest offering to analysis as well. One, because he's so spectacularly idiotic - but more importantly, because of the unexamined privilege that drips from his words alongside the expected arrogance. He may be a talented writer, but that skill does nothing to save him from his underlying sexist assumptions.
( Apparently no one told him that humility is the better part of sincerity )
