It was particularly frustrating in that post, because he even acknowledged that he benefits from male (and white, heterosexual, cisgender) privilege. And then went on to deny that it had *any* bearing on this particular situation, which... come on. I get that he wants to give his editor and his publicist credit, which I'm sure they deserved, but not even the slightest realization that their jobs were easier because he was a cis white male? I agree, though, that he's shown some willingness to listen before, so let's hope it's a process.
