Why would the charging of a case of rape, in itself, be that of a feminist cause of celebre?
Defending a spurious charge is usually ideologically driven. It is my assertion that this is spurious based on the facts of the case to date, including evidence of prosecutorial abuse.
If gender and race was removed, IMO you would have no dog in this fight. Your contrariness is either ideological or just plain obnoxious. A distinction without a difference.
