Mayim Bialik's apology | Mayim Bialik's New York Times Editorial | Know Your Meme

Mayim Bialik * @missmayim I want to address my op-ed in the NY Times, and the reaction to it. Let me say clearly and explicitly that I am very sorry. What you wear and how you behave does not provide any protection from assault, nor does the way you dress or act in any way make you responsible for being assaulted; you are never responsible for being assaulted. I applaud the bravery of the women who have come forward. I support these women as we seek out and demand accountability from the only ones responsible for assault and r---: the people who perpetrate these heinous crimes. I am motivated and driven to work hard to empower women. I am truly sorry for causing so much pain, and I hope you can all forgive me.

Mayim Bialik . @missmayim Being told my @NYTimes piece resonated w/ so many. Also see some have taken my words out of the context of the Hollywood machine. See below: I'm being told my N.Y. Times piece resonated with so many and I am beyond grateful for all of the feedback. I also see a bunch of people have taken my words out of the context of the Hollywood machine and twisted them to imply that God forbid I would blame a woman for her assault based on her clothing or behavior. Anyone who knows me and my feminism knows that's absurd and not at all what this piece was about. It's so sad how vicious people are being when I basically live to make things better for women. I am doing a Facebook live with the N.Y. Times Monday morning. Lets discuss it then.

wikipedia brown @eveewing "I have decided that my sexual self is best reserved for private situations with those I am most intimate with. I dress modestly. This is disgusting. @missmayim is placing blame on victims and forgetting that r--- and assault are about power, not about desire. IS IS

Patricia Arquette @PattyArquette It is also not outrageous for anyone to expected to be treated in a professional matter by anyone in a professional relationship

This is disgusting. @missmayim is placing blame on victims and forgetting that rape and assault are about power, not about desire.

.@missmayim I have to say I was dressed non provocatively at 12 walking home from school when men masturbated at me. It's not the clothes.
