Harmon, says Caroline Framke, “did something that few other men have done when called out on predatory, destructive behavior: He took real responsibility for his actions, dug deep into the ugliness that caused them, and pledged to do better. Whether or not he will is another question entirely. With this apology, at least, he has shown others a way to accept blame for their worst instincts — which will be crucial if anything is to change going forward.”
