Awesome book. And movie.

My main concern about "leaning in" is that it really seems geared toward extroverts or people who really put themselves out there. Even on Sandberg's site, there's a "lean in for introverts" that says what most business books say, "save your energy and be an extrovert when you need to." Even if women weren't socially…

Deadspin reposted a wonderful, and heartbreaking, tale about a gay major league ballplayer in the late 70s yesterday. There have been gays in sports longer than there have been sports.

Seriously. Way to completely invalidate anything of value he might have said.

Yeah, but I plan entire vacations around my trip to that Moroccan restaurant.

We visit NYC for a week each year. We get to pretend we are those oligarchs, or starving actors, or any stereotype we want, while crashing at a friend's condo.

I do see what you're saying, and the value to it. I'm just weighing this against a hypothetical court of public opinion in my mind. I see the response to "I feel sorry for her" as an outcry of "the rapist is infantilizing" whereas (as a lawyer) I have a greater faith in the verdict of a court to mean "something" in my…

"Sensible" being key. And absent.

Oh, look. More comments correcting the poster have been removed after trying to make clear it wasn't a "random internet comment."

It must be so awesome to constantly think you're the smartest person in the room and dismiss everyone before engaging in actual conversation.

I think that overstates the case of what effect one lawsuit would have.

It's not articles. For a case to be tried, a case must exist. No case exists. By saying it is not yet tried, you are saying it exists.

As a lawyer, I'm required to begin all posts with those three words.

I have cousins who had terrible teeth as kids because they had pacifiers until who knows when.

It seems like every story on academia these days is from this same discipline.

Poster clearly implied there was a criminal case, waiting to be tried, and then attacked you for questioning shoddy logic. Much the same as my previous interactions with this person.

You opened with "yet to be tried." Which implies there is an existing case out there that is winding its way through the courts. There, in fact, were no charges filed.

Federal court jurisdiction isn't the same as State court jurisdiction. NY may have been chosen because the alleged damages—loss of earnings— was based on decisions by NY companies and in a way, the tort "happened" in NY.
