You want to talk about how women discredit women? Let's discuss how feminists are treating a woman judge who gave a judgment that they are trashing like it means nothing and the opposite is true and continue to refer to the accuser as the victim and acquitted accused as rapist.
I mean, this is "feminists" with no authority or competence over a judge trashing her for not acting like they expected her to. Note that this is not about merely disagreeing or filing an appeal and so on, but actually insults leveled at her and completely ignoring any competence
"Feminists" trashing the judge in the #TarunTejpal judgment and ignoring the legal evidence and testimonies cited.

This is literally no different from Ramdev & Co trashing doctors and ignoring scientific evidence.

I don't call this women's rights.
Being able to raise a loud noise does not make you right.

Getting "triggered" by contradictory opinions as an excuse to paint dissent as somehow injustice against you is bullshit. Avoiding your triggers is your responsibility. The world does NOT owe you perfect comfort.

Portraying yourself as a random celebrity stalked out of the blue (not true) STILL doesn't make her self harm a threat to you. You like presenting it as a threat to get away with bullying.

At other times taunting what could she do about you, so clearly you see no threat.
Whataboutery is the ploy of those without legit arguments.

Do you have any examples of men engaging in self harm being called creeps by women?

Someone is depressed because of your behaviour, but harasses you by doing it and therefore you are the victim?
"She did self harm to get my attention and I am the real victim here" logic by @brumbyoz is actually not all that different from bhakt logic. "People are dying to make Modi look bad. or why publicize it? They could die quietly at home if genuine"

Five path-breaking principles on criminal jurisprudence that emerge from the Goa Sessions Court's Tarun Tejpal judgment barandbench.com/columns/litiga… Truly hideous advice from @barandbench

My suggestions:
- GO TO POLICE ASAP 1/n
@barandbench - Give as accurate a statement as possible. Avoid anything that is not true, particularly if not directly relevant to events. Rapist will NEED those inconsistencies for defense. Don't make it easy.
- Medical test, evidence. There may be no injuries, but forensics may find.
@barandbench - Do not provide multiple versions of your story in different places. If possible, use original police complaint to share story if necessary.
- Avoid trying to manipulate confessions. They won't be accepted and will look bad for you.
- If you are going to court, avoid media!

Again being called a misogynist who wouldn't help a victim of sexual assault.

Is it HELP to call for the arrest of a rape accused in what is guaranteed to be a high profile case, WITHOUT KNOWING what kind of a case the victim (who was a journalist covering VAW did not file) has?
The victim had won in media courts. It was her messiahs riding morah high horses that started clamoring for his arrest.

Now they are after the judge who gave judgment.

What next? High Court? Supreme Court?
My idea of help to the victim would be to drop the case in exchange for not facing defamation charges in the future.

Even if she was really assaulted, the investigation is screwed and contradictions unfavorable to her on record. If she won, would again be challenged anyway.

Been interested in the #TarunTejpal case from the start. Interesting to see that news and social media continues to treat him as the rapist and his accuser as the victim regardless of the judgment.

They also claim that HE is the influential one.

How does that compute?
The coverage of the judgment never fails to mention what the judge said about the accuser's behaviour and also never fails to exclude the context - inconsistencies and contradictions in her statements all through the case, including for trivial things like knowing the rape law.
The coverage also consistently fails to mention that among the first thing Tejpal said after the FIR was filed was to make the CCTV footage public. His defense was that nothing happened in the lift. They got off on the 1st floor, then got back into the lift and went to 2nd.

Do yourself a favor, before insulting a judge because you don't like the judgment, read the judgment. News articles are literally baiting feminists with trigger words. There's over 500 pages explaining reasoning. THEN disagree if you will.
"There are material contradictions and ommissions and inconsistent statements in the deposition of the victim brought on record in cross-examination of PW1 which make her testimony of not sterling quality to base the conviction only on her testimony."
The judgment goes into considerable detail to explain the judgment. For example, this is for those who went "But he confessed" - this was obvious from the word go. I am astonished the victim got such legal advice given the abundance of competence supporting her.
