I believe it might have been misplaced judgement for Margaret Cuneen to appear for the defence in this case.
In my opinion her previous position in successful and well publicised prosecution of previous rape cases would offer a unfair advantage for the defence. I feel the Attorney General's Department must be seen to be independent.

"A woman is at just as great a risk of sexual assault from a man who stands up as she enters his company as she is from any other man."

That is called scare mongering.

If I understand correctly, the vast majority of males would never, ever sexually assault a woman.

Completely agree.

Out of the small percentage of men who do regard women as little more than sexual objects, these men may be from any station of life, be it a CEO or a brickies labourer.

A close friend of mine was sexually abused by her father when she was 12 - he was a professor at a very prestigious university, proving that there are no rules regarding social status and respect for others.

Jiplug,
I appoligize for my reference to "evil white male".

What I should have said was "Best for women not to go anywhere near evil evil male."

I hope that's better.

Thanks Vanna:

>>> What I should have said was "Best for women not to go anywhere near evil evil male." <<<

Could the evil, evil men please have their foreheads tattooed with something like; "I have evil intentions towards women" so that women won't have to find out through direct experience.

And the majority of men who really like women will not be mistaken for the bad guys!

And, this can work both ways, women who deliberately get themselves pregnant, leave the fathers of their children and demand money for the upkeep of their children, could have similar tattoos like: "I am a feminazi lezzo".

There now. No class distinctions just the outing of evil.

Cheers m'dears
