    "Sorry, but i don’t see the connection here. I don’t see the connection between how an awareness and recognition of a) the problem of malicious false accusations of sexual assault in cases such as Assange’s, somehow entails a lack of awareness of b) the problem of very real and horrific cases on a mass scale of sexual assaults on women."

    Appreciate the acknowledgement of the latter. I think you suggested the bit in the middle yourself Sergei. Awareness. It is no doubt 'sad' that women showing indifference towards/ Assange's dreadful plight don't know the background but that's partly a reflection of the indifference on a vastly wider scale to the problem of sexual assaults on women and the indifference to the problem shown by men and still present at at official levels. Unless they're political or have been following the case away from the mainstream they will not see the case as much different from the usual. Cheers
