As Twitchy just reported, the White House has set up a task force to address online harassment and abuse, and of course, those most commonly victimized are women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Even a woke actor like Rainn Wilson can be a participant in this online abuse, as he recently tweeted a mean crack about “chestfeeding.” He spent a day educating himself and came back to apologize for the tweet and for adding to misinformation and meanness.
Yesterday I tweeted a mean crack about breastfeeding vs chestfeeding. After speaking with some Trans friends and educating myself a bit more I want to apologize for the tweet. It was adding to misinformation and meanness. I’m sorry.

The guy apologizes and the first two comments I read are people saying he needs to donate money now. GTFOH. Everyone needs to drop the mindset that anyone owes them anything. https://t.co/WZRtOXT061

I am sitting breast feeding my baby just now. Males cannot breastfeed, this a purely female gift. I won’t capitulate to say it is any different. It isn’t chestfeeding, the milk comes from a woman’s breasts…from her female anatomy, after giving birth to a baby. https://t.co/6AcLWSz9TF

Time to scrub through Wilson’s timelines in a search for other mean cracks that deserve apologies — we’ll bet there are some in there.
