I don’t think she had cancer survivors, women over 50, or sexual trauma victims in mind when she answered the question.

I can equally believe and disbelieve both the accuser and Patrick Kane

First rule of Gawker Media, never admit you fucked up

Unfortunately, even if he bit and scratched her it does not prove rape. Even if his semen were inside her it does not prove rape.

why not just thank mini for the correction? why be so snarky about it?

ANNA MERLAN HAS A MASTERS IN JOURNALISM FROM COLUMBIA, AND SHE WILL NOT HESITATE TO TELL YOU THAT FACT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

It’s Erie County. One “e,” just like the Great Lake it sits next to. I don’t like to be “that person,” but as my/your/everyone’s journalism teacher said in the first five minutes of class, “If you can’t be trusted to get the little things right, why should anyone trust you to get the big things right.”

These 10 teams paid the most for their salutes to the troops:

You’re considering moving out of state, seemingly seeking better care for your autistic son. But you won’t consider Ohio because they didn’t legalize marijuana use. Wow. You have a stellar grasp on priorities.

When I got back into the restaurant I received a standing ovation. I was proud. I just showed every man in there I can stand up to bully’s and other men. It was a win for the ladies!

I haven’t worked security in a long time, but the one thing you didn’t do was get involved with what was happening outside your venue.

Particularly getting involved in a he said/she said argument.

I’m truly sorry this lady had a shit night involving some apparent assholes. But sacking people for not being chivalrous…

You will get roofied.

“NO ONE deserves to be abused and the fact that three grown men watched a woman get punched in the face and refused to help her is reason for me to believe that they aren’t looking out for you and they absolutely WILL NOT protect you if you go there.”

Her own version of the events is poking holes in the story she posted on Tumblr. She and a friend were in a fight with a couple, she maced them, and then got indignant when the bar they happened to be in front of wanted nothing to do with their noise? It seems like she has a massive chip on her shoulder, what with…

Yeah, the old “I’m not eating pussy anymore because I’m way too good at it” canard.

Well I’m glad Deadspin and Kinja commentariat didn’t rush to judgement on this case.

I’d probably use accuser (with any crime) when there’s no obvious and immediate evidence besides the person’s word that something occurred.
