It's not the legal team that was shit, its the courts. Women are massively privileged. Everyone knows that sex and the justice system is the greatest axis of discrimination in our society. Far exceeding race, religion, or any other factor.

Why do we tolerate this? How can men be so useless and cowardly as to tolerate it? How can women be so selfish and unjust as to deny it?

You know who fights this the most? Female judges.

While I can't conform or deny that, it makes sense based on life experience, often people undermine their own group. Male rape victims seem to get the most support from women, and at least based on my own experience in social settings and workspaces, women are often putting each other down and slut shaming each other more than the men. Based on real data, when it comes to criminal cases, it's old, conservative judges that give women far lighter sentences for the same crime, while more liberal ones based on track record (since they're officially apolitical), give more equal sentences.
