Just so it's clear: Priya Ramani has been acquitted of defamation, MJ Akbar hasn't been convicted of rape.
When the court says "can't punish women for raising voice", it's deeply troubling for a country plagued by false rape cases where women escape scot-free for ruining lives.

Just wish there was as much bipartisan support for male victims of false allegations as there is for Priya Ramani winning a defamation case.
In 2013-14, more than half of the reports of sexual harassment/rape in Delhi were found false.

but also damaged the credibility of genuine rape allegations & stifled the voices of those who continue to remain unheard.
Reserve your personal judgments until MJ Akbar is actually convicted. Premature celebrations only betray your gender bias & bigotry. https://twitter.com/iRohanSachdeva/status/1307622107715530754

"Victim"
Good ol' media playing the judge and jury again.
Neither is she a victim, nor is MJ Akbar a rapist until proved in the court of law.
Normalising the casual use of terms is exactly how lives are ruined. Just stop. Wait for the official judgment. https://twitter.com/smitharnair/status/1361979312656707590
