"Several feminist scholars were even brought in to give him what was called “in-depth counselling” – a kind of crash course, I guess, on modern women."

Prior to any hearing into his conduct, of his own accord and at his own expense, Robin Camp sought out female experts on sexual assault law. Yes, they found him sincerely eager to rectify his lack of understanding in that particular area of law. How is that a bad thing?

"The same goes for his colleague in Halifax, Judge Gregory Lenehan, who in his recent ruling on a sex assault case said “a drunk can consent.”

Bad column Gerald. You usually do much better.
