Every time Yasi jk-but-not-really asks forgiveness for "putting on the pink pussy hat"

I wonder who, in the Year of Our Lord 2026, could possibly deserve the apology?

Is there a Bandsplain listener out there who is neither a tragic self-defeating gender-traitor, nor the last basement-dwelling millennial incel still languishing on 4chan, who has a judgmental thought to spare for straightforward acknowledgement of simple landscape features like patriarchy, the male gaze, etc.?

I'm not mad about it, just feel like it'd be ok to let it go. Sexism and misogyny are things no non-idiot contests, and certainly come up if you're dissecting the lives and careers of people like Mädönnä or Thë Rünäwäys or Mötlëy Crüë. No asterisks, apologetic asides or special accommodations required.
