Ms Renzetti says, "Maybe this time there would be a reckoning, and assault victims’ soul-shearing experience in the courtroom would improve...they’d feel more safe and free to come forward with complaints. This mythical time has not arrived. Maybe it never will"

It certainly won't if complainants--and that's what these women are, not legally "victims"--cannot prove their cases, in the more recent taxi incident and  if, in the Ghomeshi case, they are revealed as "unreliable". 

The column begins with one issue--maybe this time women will get the break they (allegedly) deserve and then shifts to another: assault itself.  "What human being would possibly consider that a good idea?" Ms. Renzetti asks. "Why do some men have such enraging beliefs about what should be theirs, even when it is not?"

She could ask the same questions of complainants.  If these women acted differently before the alleged assault and going to court, that "mythical time" might, indeed, have arrived.
