Sexual assault is a serious crime and the Universities should not be involved in this process. They are not set up deal with this in any effective manner. This should be matter for the police and the courts. It’s hardly surprising that the university personnel on the ground in the middle of this “he said-she said”…

Spears has been acting more and more erratic lately now that she is free of her father’s oversight, which she claimed was oppressing her and destroying her life. It’s to the point that even her teenaged kids are mortally embarrassed by her recent behavior and her trying to get attention with peek-a-boo bathroom selfi…

Cheerleaders are hardworking and poorly paid relative to the overall work involved. Pro football team cheerleading is also a very sought after job that attractive people will form a line around the block to get a crack at, even though the typical career run for a cheerleader is only 1 to 4 seasons. Why? What do they…

So ... music directed at yound adults and teens that is written and played by young adults and teens, is often full of angsty, preening, whiny toxic nonsense. And young girls can’t get enough of sad boys who play music regardless of how poorly behaved they are. Fascinating! May I subscribe to your newsletter so I do…

There seems to be an operating assumption in this article that good outcomes for M>F vaginoplasty should be routine with proper training by surgeons. In looking at various studies while the rate of “regret” may be low the rate of complications of all sorts is quite high across the board.  You are trying to turn a…

I’ve rarely seen a review that complains at such length about the non-existence of a hypothetical book the author did not write and did not represent he was writing. The book (read the title “Catch and Kill” for goodness sake) is explicitly about the journalistic challenges involved in getting the story out. Beyond…

Yeah... they are not poetic moist makers, but somehow, some way I imagine she will muddle through to find something attractive about him. 

I am a white 60 year old male who leans progressive and I cannot stand Hillary Clinton. She simply oozes arrogance and entitlement. This is why she put up with Bill’s humiliating behavior all those years, waiting for her shot. She is the anti-candidate. Whatever “charisma” is she has the opposite of it. It was…

Somehow this is beyond irony.

In these kind of awkward situations you can choose to make the best of it with humor or confront it with anger and indignation. Both are valid responses to this grotesque invasion of privacy. Both (it seems) are still relative strangers to each other despite their brief interlude. The expectation that he is expected…

Isn’t it pretty common to the point of almost being a stereotype for the female head coaches of female sports teams to be gay? How is this even an issue especially in Academia of all places?

Oh Madeleine... you want him so very badly.

Crazy the article just goes on and on and on about every little bit of his life. It’s basically his legal defense posing as an article. “He was a good kid who was angry he didn’t achieve his football dream and that's why he acted out. The end.”
I get that some cops can get BJs for letting hookers go on their way, but…

It’s distressing to see a grown man, and an editor no less, indulge in so much tortured pearl clutching. It’s a vicious, violent fantasy world where people are regularly abused and degraded like they have been throughout real human history. If you can't take it you are making the right decision to tap out.

They obviously did not use the Jack and Jill Kraft Paper Bag Test. It would have sorted this out.

I don't think Ms. Polewaczyk understood just how badly she was being played in this bit of performance art. A few minutes of looking a his website makes it pretty clear the clientele of his bar are unlikely to care about a bad Yelp review, and honestly (based on the website) it does seem like the least boring bar in…

Tremendous article! Levels above what passes for wit in most web and print journalism. Your creativity in wordsmithing and painting a scene is top drawer. "Are you not entertained?" Yes... yes I was. Job well done Ms. Brown!

The culprit... Deflator Mouse.

The culprit...Deflator Mouse!

Most of the criticism of this story that I have seen so far revolves around the fact that the author relays a horrific tale of a premeditated, brutal, gang rape over several hours by a team of criminally deranged sociopaths (who also happen to be college students and members of an elite fraternity) and takes those…
