Info Post
[Trigger warning for misogyny, racism, and rape culture.]

What I Don't Find Remarkable: That convicted rapist, spousal abuser, ear mangler, and beloved film and TV star Mike Tyson gave a disgusting interview riddled with misogyny, racism, and violent sexual imagery, in which he says, among other things, that he would have liked to see Dennis Rodman have sex with Sarah Palin because he would "push her guts up in the back of her head."

What I Do Find Remarkable (if Depressingly Unsurprising): That virtually none of the articles I've read about this story even make passing mention that Tyson has a history of violence against women, including a rape conviction, but do express surprise that Tyson would say such awful things.
