to make it ok or something. It's not! It's still disgusting, misogynistic, sexist and unacceptable.

Fuck him and any man or woman who thinks this shit is ok.

but most people outgrow that by the time they are 20 or 25.

I think most people could understand and set that aside if:

A) It was an isolated thing, not part of a continuing pattern; and

B) he gave a real, genuine apology, such as "The open microphone recorded a conversation I understand many people find disgusting, and I am very embarrassed by it. It was a could of guys in a bus making bold claims with a lot of imagination, and this doesn't represent the way I actually feel and act. I have never done the kinds of things that I boasted about on that tape. Even though this was what I thought was a private conversation, I am very sorry for even saying these things."

The problem is, he isn't sorry. This is how he has talked about women his whole life.
