I wrote a piece for a mainstream outlet (not the NYT), mentioning the sexual assault allegations against Roy Moore. Some nervous lawyer edited it to "sexual misconduct." I said, okay, pull my piece. They reverted back to "sexual assault." Writers, don't let them lawyer you down.

By the way, I think it is appropriate to be careful, and not unduly smear people with allegations and accusations, but it is ridiculous to claim that we cannot correctly describe the accusations especially after multiple non-anonymous accusers have come forward. Spine up, media.

Replying to @zeynep
This tweet is as equally important as the 1st one. Too bad it didn't get as many likes/retweets. False accusations of sexual assault should be punished severely so those strong enough to come forward and tell the truth will be believed without question. Thank you. #MeToo
