  Salon | Sexual Harassment
Garner strikes me as trustworthy precisely because she doesn't pretend to have figured it all out, to have a one-size-fits-all theory for what sexual harassment is and what should be done about it.
When Garner read about Shepard's arrest, she felt a "jolt" at the rage and severity of the response to what sounded like a "clumsy pass" by a "poor blunderer," the kind of thing feminists of her generation (now "pushing 50") shrugged off.
Garner's investigation of the case introduced her to the tut-tutting old boys' network that once reigned supreme in Ormond's pre-coed era, and to a new breed of feminists, "cold-faced, punitive girls" bent on, in their own words, "retribution," like the vengeful God of the Old Testament.

 Troppo Armadillo: The Consolation of Joe Cinque   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Helen Garner touches in passing on this aspect of the Singh case, musing about the medicalisation of criminal behaviour, and whether it's appropriate to affix medical labels to behaviour that would previously have been regarded simply as wrong or perhaps even that old-fashioned word "evil".
Garner may have formed an opposite impression due to the limited number of people who were prepared to talk to her, but I don't believe this was accurately represented in 'The First Stone'.
Garner's whole endeavour was to rescue Joe from silence, to recover him as a person through her empathy with his mother's inconsolable grief.

 TRUE CRIME: ROSE - SEPTEMBER 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Helen Garner’s involvement in this scarcely credible tale of wilfulness and will-lessness and worse seems to have been accidental, as was the case in the so-called Ormond Affair, which began with an almost reflex private letter from Garner to the embattled Master.
Garner is struck by their demeanour: ‘resentful, wry, even defiant … like sulky children.’ One student, told he is free to go, is neatly characterised thus: ‘“Cheers,” he replied, and shambled off.’ A young journalist tells Garner that she and other contemporaries of Singh at ANU, though ‘distressed’ by the killing, are now ‘over it’.
Garner visits Justice Crispin in his chambers, and, on hearing his explanations and clarifications, feels the anger seeping from her, and also feels compassion for this judge who has lost a child of his own and endured many calumnies.

 [No title]
Unfortunately, we live in a climate (and evidently so does Garner) in which many women are doing their best to prevent nuance from dissolving their caricature of the undifferentiated male menace, so that the smallest offense can be represented as "as bad as" or "not fundamentally different from" the most heinous.
Garner's version of the world is an irritant and a threat to the sex police who would leave nothing to chance, risk no unpleasantness, opt always for safety and certainty over improvisation and possible accusations of abuses of power.
Garner suspects that much of the conflict between herself and the younger women who supported the complainants may be due to differing generational perceptions.

 Stoned again: the victim-feminism scare   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Garner persuasively mentions ‘a certain nexus of forces’, or speaks of ‘several other university feminists who had supported the complainants’, of a ‘faceless group of women’, of ‘radical feminists’ and ‘ideological passions.
Garner never mentions whether or not she thinks ‘Eros’ should be a two-way street, but unless ‘Eros’ cuts both ways, ‘the spark that ignites and connects’ is just a wank.
When Garner talks about how much she hates ‘this constant stress on passivity and weakness — this creation of a political position based on the virtue of helplessness’, her formulation arguably stems not only from a fondness for cant, but also from a refusal to acknowledge the underlying politics that govern gender relations.

 Amazon.com: Books: The First Stone: Some Questions About Sex and Power   (Site not responding. Last check: )

Garner is a good writer, and manages to take what could have been a very dry subject and bring it to life without making it a rant.
