"Bloor said Vancouver police sought bail conditions in which Marsden would be ordered to have no contact with the media because investigators were concerned, based on their knowledge of Marsden and her involvement in the Donnelly case, that if she went to the media the alleged victim would be "re-victimized."
Marsden, who laughed with her lawyer and appeared very composed in court in a black pinstripe suit jacket, was held in custody overnight before a $10,000 bail order was granted about noon Thursday."
I wonder how she would have liked it if she was laughed at by the guy and his lawyer she claimed sexually harrassed her?
This seems to be the theme when men complain of being sexually harrassed. I was sexually harrassed by my male boss and I made a huge deal about it at work (I'm not the type to whine about things at work). I was taken for a joke and my boss made me work faster and harder with a smile on his face. I eventually had to quit.
"Marsden's Web site, called "Rachel Marsden's Web Lounge," features a picture of her in a slinky pink dress lounging on a velvet chair. Her resume says she has worked in print and broadcast journalism in Canada and the U.S."
Quite an odd thing for her to show half naked pictures of herself along with her resume on her web site. Almost seems like you're asking to be sexually persued or harrased at work. That's if I read the article correctly.

It's the juxtaposition of serious and thoughtful political commentary with the near-exhibitionistic photographs that really makes it surreal. But I don't doubt for a moment this woman is more than a little capable of being just plain whacko.
Well it's good to see some justice every now and then for men with regard to these matters (though the case is still out-- we'll see how it goes!). The case of the one college coach mentioned in the article though points up how quick university admin'rs are to believe the story of a woman over a man, with no other evidence, and then fire the man (same thing happens to male students when "charged" with "rape" by the university and then summarily expelled). Cowed and complicit-with-the-feminazis university profs. and administrators are just as much our opponents as the feminazis themselves.

www.politicalusa.com/columnists/marsden claims that "Rachel was awarded the Canadian Governor General's Medal of Excellence for her academic achievements". Despite this, her main occupation appears to be as a political commentator. She writes for various conservative leaning publications and her views in the few articles I perused seemed to lean towards the neanderthal end of the conservative spectrum.
Not your stereotypical feminazi.
However, her conservative writing for public consumption contrasts oddly with http://www.angelfire.com/bc/rmarsden/morality.html , which takes a perspective on sexual morality which could perhaps be described as libertarian feminist.
As another poster mentioned, her website, www.rachelmarsden.com, is a mix of her political commentary and photos of her self. The commentary page has links to articles she has written on various issues, and, somewhat incongruously, an image of herself in a sexualized "glamour" pose as the background.
She seems to believe she can use her sex appeal to advance her personal and professional agendas.

Seems to? She comes right out and endorses the idea:
"In the case of pornography, women are merely capitalizing on a sociobiological fact-that women are habitually gawked at by men. Instead of passively accepting this phenomenon, they are choosing to profit from it."
Evidently, it's a sign of her independence, feminine agency and self-empowerment. :-)

That's not the same as thinking women should use this "sociobiological fact" to advance, for example, a career as a political commentator.
The "fact" is stated rather tendentiously, as though women had nothing to do with it and were just passive victims of this intrusive "male gaze".
In reality most young women invest a substantial portion of their resources in behaviors calculated to increase the chances of men "gawking" at them.
If she read any of the 5 most popular magazine for women aged 13 to 30 she should rapidly become aware of this fact.

No, it's not the same, unless someone sees it as a justified turning of the tables. As you said:
The "fact" is stated rather tendentiously, as though women had nothing to do with it and were just passive victims of this intrusive "male gaze".
For someone with that attitude, you could replace "pornography" in the original quote with "using good looks to advance a career" or even "making allegations of sexual harassment" without any loss of self-righteousness.
(Amateur analysis, I know. :-) But it does explain her photo gallery.)

I doubt it would faze her. From her writing, it looks like contempt for others is her strong suit.
