Reminder: When the US Women’s National Team plays in the World Cup, anything short of a title is treated as failure. When the men’s team loses, we say, “They did their best.” Why are women expected to win it all while men get credit just for trying? How is that fair?

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.
