No...but it is a little confusing.

Ok, there is a woman Lindsey Middlecamp, who has a twitter account [1], where she 'calls out' men overly concerned about womenfolk not dressing chastely enough.

Here's a fun tweet: https://twitter.com/CardsAgstHrsmt/status/986304355753185281

Ok, so this women believes that women should be able to dress as sexy as they want without fear of reproach. So far, so good. God bless Lindsey Middlecamp!

The reason she comes across as a wacko is because she seems to think male toplessness is the equivalent of female toplessness. It's not. Women will not pay money to see men topless.

Then, as alleged by Mr. Fredin, she launched an anonymous attack against Mr. Fredin, falsely accusing him of rape.

Mr. Fredin, a bit piqued, responded by unmasking his anonymous harasser, Ms Middlecamp, and gave her a little payback.

Ms Middlecamp went to court and got the court to grant her an order, preventing Mr. Fredin from letting anyone know that Lindsey Middlecamp is the person behind @CardsAgstHrsmt.

That last part is the constitutionally-suspect part.

I wasn't in any way defending the lady. Just that the guy is not at a higher moral ground than her, including the fact that he has multiple restraining orders against him since before this incident.
