In the case of your first paragraph, I'd say just don't apologize then. Say nothing, or, if you must, explain why your thinking differs with those criticizing you. For example, if Sqoot is not sorry, they could remain silent. Or they could say, "We understand that this is sexist. We care more about getting large attendance, and have a reasonable belief that attractive women serving beer will accomplish that end." That will probably enrage people even more so I think silence is the best option in this case. > We need to make sure we are not trying to tell people how to think. It is fine to tell people how to think if they are thinking wrongly. It is fine to use what force you have available to you, be it economic, social or political, to change their actions if you think those actions are harmful enough to warrant it.
