    I do not doubt Grace exists.

    People are upset about the outfit detail. Here is a brief excerpt from one of the best pieces I read last year.

    Behind the Scenes of the Michelle Carter Verdict - Conrad Roy Suicide Trial

    At the trial, two years later, she looked booth-tan and thin, with blue-gray eyes, full lips, and dark, mobile eyebrows that stood out against her blond hair. She wore a white quilted car coat and walked on heels down the hallway to Courtroom Three.

    Edit: But we have recent examples ... Duke lax, UVa ... etc etc. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

    You are forgetting how darn likable Aziz Ansari is.

    She continually moved away from him, so much so that she described him as chasing her around his apartment. Nothing else needed to be said.

    So far, the excuses others have made for his behavior include:
    - He's a comedian.
    - They'd already had oral sex.
    - She never explicitly said "stop" in a loud voice.

    Are you again referring to the oral sex? I agree, that sticks out to me as incongruous to the story of an unwilling and trapped woman.

    No, I wanted Grace to give an angry as hell after the fact quote to Katie Way.

    Regarding Katie Way's email ...

    "I will laugh the day you fold" is very much like AJ Daulerio's long-ago prediction that Deadspin would be around after ESPN is dead and buried.

    Ah, youth mixed with piss and vinegar.

    It has literally been decades, but I certainly recall women reeling it in after that. It's not a blank check. I don't think you're saying it is one. I think your point is that it casts doubt for you on her subsequent tale of "verbal and non-verbal cues."

    Where the hell would Deadspin get its copy?

    Indeed.

    ETA: Indeed to the interpretation of oral ... but really to the next post too.
