      And "the complainant once did something unethical" is actually not a defence to a charge of criminal harassment.

      For the record I'm not saying "siccing the Internet" on Spurr was or would be unethical. I wasn't there, I don't know.

      I don't know why GAE's counsel raised that issue in the way he did but note lawyers have a lot of leeway in cross-examination

      And trying to anger the complainant, trip her up or tarnish her character aren't unheard of strategies.

      The issue in the criminal trial is GAE's behaviour. In this context Spurr is a red herring.

      I suspect Picazo was referring to tactics when she used "extreme" but because she didn't qualify it can easily be read to mean ideology

      And people (including me) have loudly objected to feminist and MRA ideology being equated as "extremes".

      There IS extreme feminist ideology, but the feminist ideology espoused by @amirightfolks and @LadySnarksalot isn't remotely it.

      This to me is the problem with this kind of "nuance" - in the context of the trial it basically boils down to "but she's not nice tho"

      But she doesn't have to be nice. Harassing people who are not nice? Actually still a crime.

      @fortyfs Exactly. Victims are supposed to be perfect or they deserve no sympathy.

          .@HeerJeet and more than no sympathy - the NP piece seems to suggest, I hope inadvertently, that convicting someone of a crime against 1/2

          @fortyfs Oh, I don't think inadvertent. That's the intent. It's a variation of, "if she wasn't a virgin, it's not rape."
