To MizB: from a feminist.
I agree with you on both points: this is about a lot more than feminism. I think Harris' allegation that this will send a message that woman shouldn't report rape is way off. However, it will make it that much harder for some people to believe the next woman who brings a rape charge. It's funny how people are quick to jump on feminists in this case and not, for example, blame overly zealous DA's as a whole.
The lack of a common definition of feminism is a problem with almost any discussion of feminism. It really muddies the debate to have so many people afraid of the term.
