I don’t think this article is arguing one way or the other. The takeaway that I had is the entire discussion around this matter is seen almost exclusively through the male gaze, which shapes the discussion and decisions that follow.

No, there really isn’t, because it’s none of your goddamned business. Weddings are usually planned a year or so in advance. I doubt she was considering coming forward a year ago.

Its generally accepted that its more moral to allow someone to die on their own than murder them. Extrapolate that towards embarrassment as you see fit.

I once had a boss fold her arms like a child and refuse to accept my resignation. After about 10 minutes I gave up trying and just walked down the hall and gave it to the head of HR. Apparently, she felt it looked bad on her if one of her direct reports quit. Previously she had announced another woman’s retirement…

Dana White is the kind of boss that suddenly yells “you’re fired!” when your trying to tell him you’re quitting.

He should switch his accountant. 

My dad was murdered when I was 7, by a black man. You know what I’ve never done? Call the cops on a black guy (or anyone else) for just being somewhere legally. You know what his murder had nothing to do with? The race of the guy who killed him. Not all black men killed my dad. I’m not going to take it out on all of…

Four points:

He’s with the Angels, now still.

I’m sorry, arrogant Americans? In what universe? Americans are the classiest, most dignified, and humble people on the planet!

After sitting in many board meetings personally (part of my job), and after the garbage that was done to people like Ke$sha, Kelly Clarkson, JoJo, and countless others, I am never on the side of the record label, and am never inclined to believe whatever they put out. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like Taylor…

I was ready to declare the Foul Ball Feature by far the most important/best thing on Deadspin this week, but this has knocked it from the perch. Tom: thank you, for the fearless journalism. A grateful nation salutes you.

Also true: your sad bitterness is powering me through my hangover from celebrating the championship St. Louis won by dunking 4 to fucking 1 on the pitiful rat bastards of Boston.

Ah, the true Boston colors reveal themselves. No pun intended. 

I see we’re sensitive about our line of business.  Time to head back to barstool. 

Calm down, Sparky. No one is clicking on your links. I’m guessing your “business” is shower curtain rings, right?

Definitely fuck the guy.

Laffs fan here. Watching Marchand have a defensive aneurysm at the end of the first resulting in the second goal, then losing the game, then crying on the bench, then crying at the press conference....I feel like WE won the cup as well.
I feel warm, I feel fuzzy, and my outlook on life is rosy.

Thank you St. Louis.…

Been with this team 46 times around the sun and it really doesn’t seem real. The rug is always pulled at some point, usually in the second round at some distant western arena.

I’m having a hard time seeing that the phrase “Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues” is a thing. After all the years of them being sacrificial lambs to the Red Wings, they finally found their way.
