Opinion: Harvey Weinstein's lawyer and the saddest defence of sexual assault I've ever read

Blaming the Victim

Here’s how Rotunno continues: “We walk out at night and we look around and make sure we have our phones, some people take mace. We take precautions. And all I'm saying is, is that women should take precautions.” Those terrifying figures in the ANROWS survey show a decline in the numbers of those who think men can’t control themselves . But that concept of uncontrollable men makes women take all the responsibility for getting men to behave well.Rape Mythology and Victim Blaming,

by Rotunno and her team. I wish this only happened in the US. It's hard to get women to testify and the Weinstein trial reminds us how hard it is for women to have to recount the details of their assaults and then to have lawyers attack their credibility. No wonder some women refused to testify.But those stereotypes hurt women and they hurt men.

Some of the most twisted logic I’ve ever read written by someone describing themselves as an ‘academic’ at a university of technology.

Any SMH article that is preceded by “opinion:” is generally garbage. This article was no exception.

The writer of this article may be occasionally on the mark but she's a rusted-on man-hater; she only sees the world through the lens of ultra feminist ideology.She even hates women such as Bettina Arndt. She's doctrinaire; she doesn't see situations as individual or even unique.

.you're hired to do a job; you do it to the best of your ability - I think she's great - her strength is her impartiality to the provision of a defence to the accused and the presumption of innocence...the nature of the crime should not dictate the quality of the representation!
