It’s very difficult to summon sympathy for aman who has openly sought to avoid charges for rape. Anyone can see the US extradition case is flimsy, but the men thronging threads about Assange, attacking the women who tried to bring charges against him, show how deep misogyny runs.

A lot of us are tired of being told men who are utter misogynists are vital to the movement, and to just ignore that aspect of their behaviour, because they’re helpful to the project. The well’s empty now, Assange is the most high profile example, women have run out of patience.

Normally I'd agree. But is this - has this ever been - about the rape charges? Let him see a doctor then be put on trial for those charges if there is a case to answer for.

What do you mean "if?" There is objectively a case to answer. That's why Sweden sought his extradition almost a decade ago.

A lot of people can believe that someone who reveals embarrassing things about government wrongdoing can be set up with false allegations. This is why this needs to go to court in Sweden.
