'It is an extraordinary, swift turnaround and a deep humiliation for the Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance and his unreliable witness Nafissatou Diallo; an embarrassment for US justice; and a day of shame for the feminist movement.

Like the New York prosecutor worried about his re-election, prominent US feminists in academe and the media were too desperate to handcuff, draw and quarter their prize catch in the form of Strauss-Kahn the rich, powerful French political luminary and International Monetary Fund boss known as DSK.

Women such as gender studies guru Joan W. Scott, feminist icon Gloria Steinem, The Nation's Katha Pollitt and The New York Times's Maureen Dowd lost all sense of reality, objectivity or basic scepticism regarding the untested accusations.
