Wouldn't be anything to do with the incredible expansion of what is now deemed 'sexual harassment', would it?  Like - going onto a campus in WA wearing a Pauline Hanson T-shirt is harassing women on campus, no?  FFS.... anything to grab the mythical 'high ground' - start off by being the aggressor in whining about next to nothing, and then having all the Usual Suspects pile on board without a single thought in their heads...

Hit Pearl Harbour and then tell everyone what bastards the Yanks are for the Doolittle Raid...

The feminist movement is an interest group and like all interest groups (like the IPA) they twist and distort facts to paint themselves in whatever light gives them advantage. Indeed the "mythical past" is the past that feminists have distorted to this end. I dont know the exact situation in Aust but in the US 50% of the men fighting in the WW1 trenches did not have the vote. That's because for decades it was property and wealth that decided who voted. Also women exercise power in different ways to account for their different strengths & to pretend that women have not had as much power in shaping society and their relationship with men is a gross falsehood. Rather the real vehicle for oppression in history has been Class; the upper class women and men oppressing the lower class women and men.

In the 20th century things began to dramatically change for women, driven by such things as the washing machine, the pill and their entry into the workforce because of WW2. With each new development some women wanted a change to the social arrangements because their preference was for the male lifestyle. But my recollection of the 60s and 70s is that more women were opposed to feminism than men because they were happy being the housewives and the princesses who were courted and had doors opened for them. But things change and "I think" most women now don't want to be that housewife. Fine but that doesn't change the history that when women were the housewives instead of going down the mines to contract black lung, it was not because of a patriarchy or oppression but because of the social arrangements between the sexes that evolved and continuously changed over the centuries in general accordance with what suited a majority of men and women given the conditions that prevailed at the time.

But again because feminism is an interest group that's the mythical history they wish to render because it garners them considerable advantages which are undeserved and fundamentally unjust. 

One other point on this is the horrid idea that its some how right to discriminate against men and boys of this generation (who could not have any responsibility for any of the claimed passed wrongs) to benefit the women and girls of this generation (who were not themselves the victims of any of the claimed wrongs) in order to redress the claimed wrongs of the past. Forgetting for a moment how vile an idea that is, ask yourself how will we ever rid ourselves of bigotry & discrimination this way. We're just changing oppressors (if that narrative is true) arent we?

It doesnt matter, he is innocent until proven guilty. Just like anyone else. The police cant prosecute, end of story.  Lots of false rape allegations, the complainant is dead.

hang him.

What we do know is this.  If she is telling the truth, we have a rapist as an Attorney General here in Australia.  As you say, one or the other is lying.  Which one?  There are many questions left unaddressed.  Many potential witnesses not yet out of the closet.  There are historical comments made by her to friends in which she complains of the incident.  I don't have a timeline so I cannot say whether they fit into the 'recent complaint' exception to the hearsay rule.  We do know that Porter was in the same place as the woman was at the time she says the incident occurred.  It seem he had at least 'opportunity.'
