She invites comments on her appearance. It's part of a deliberately cultivated image. You won't find her defending bank robbers anytime soon. There is nothing noble about this woman's choice of becoming a defence lawyer. She is all about defending the 1%.
So because she is female we should vilify her more for being a nasty in your face criminal defense lawyer. Women should not be anything but be nice and civil and never engage in the same kind of behavior that uncouth men do. Come on now dearie your acting like a man and giving us all a bad name.
Of course she represents the 1% because that is where the money is. I find your double standard based on gender to be rather off putting. I don't like nasty lawyers who work for the 1% but I have never said the women who do it are especially evil and somehow betraying their gender unlike the men.
That is not what I am saying at all and I do judge male lawyers serving the 1% as well. They are a bunch of crooks. If she didn't use her gender as a courtroom tactic against women, to get away with something a male lawyer would not get away with I would judge her the same. If a man behaved as she does and then claimed to be a feminist I would call it bullshit.
Fighting to get as much money and power as male 1%ers does not a feminist make. Her brand of feminism is fight harder and dirtier than a man but be super sexy while doing it.
I would not call her a feminist either but it is not for me to determine her self image. I went to law school and met both women and men that would fit her profile. You would probably not consider any woman who ran for the Conservatives a feminist either.
Where we disagree is that the Judge would give her larger leeway than a male lawyer because of her gender. Her gender would help with the optics for the public and a jury if one had been used but I doubt any Judge assigned this high profile a case would be so gender biased as to let her do what he wouldn't let a man do.
