Her apology seems sincere to me. There's no "I'm sorry if you were offended" or "Can't you all just take a joke" in sight. She screwed up, but she acknowledged the truth of people's criticism and said sorry. I'm willing to accept that and move on.

I am as feminist as feminist can be, and (and, not but) I am pro death penalty in cases where the crime is incredibly horrific (Jyoti, the S. African girl who was gang raped so badly she had her all her fingers broken, a leg and several ribs broken, and the rapists cut open her stomach and put glass shards in it while…

Why did you put the word "groomed" in "quotes"?

I can related to this on so many levels, and it's heartbreaking.

As someone who is pro death penalty I do plenty of wishing for us both.

...assuming this is true, it sucks for your friend who got kicked out. BUT MOST WOMEN ARE NOT SOCIOPATHS. Discrediting ALL or MOST accusations based on one crazy is ...well, CRAZY.

I think the point the author is trying to make is that, of course some women/men make false accusations, but the rate at which the false accusations are made for rape/sexual assault are very low, I've heard they are no higher than for other crimes, so it is dangerous to immediately jump to the conclusion that someone…

Their responses scare me as well and I think the comments responding to you show just how little people get this issue. I teach a university course called "the psychology of violence" and these issues always lead to comments of this sort as well.

Almost as much as what smells like the entire bottle of Paco Rabanne one of my venture partners' male associates regularly wears to meetings makes me gag, I'm sure.

If a man does it, it's intent listening.

"I'm dealing with a subordinate that fits this mold. No one thinks it's cute that you don't know Detroit isn't a state."

Isn't this what Christian Grey says to the girl in 50 shades all the time?

If you need to lie to your doctor, you need to get a new doctor. (Although ER's and clinics are tricky because you don't get to pick who treats you.)

Oh my god, I can't believe I've been waving my arms for so long in the middle of business meetings! Maybe that's why I can't keep any clients.

"How to succeed as a woman in Biglaw: grow a penis. Any way you can. Also: blowjobs, hint hint."

I wonder if they tell the men wearing black suits, white shirts and black ties to "wear something bright."

"Don't Giggle" "Don't squirm"

Not just Madison, but all of its permutations: Madisyn, Madyson, Maddisonne, Madysynn, etc. from all the parents trying to be "unique" with a dead-common name.

I don't disagree, but consider this:
They are all nice, pretty and non-embarrassing names. They are not stripper names. They are names that will not get in the way of a professional career.
