Gamesmanship is probably one of the few gendered terms feminists don’t have a problem with. But they’re not cool with acknowledging that it’s a common element in restraining order cases or that orders of the court may be sought to gain attention or ego-gratification.

They may casually reject reports from victims of false accusation, besides those from seasoned trial lawyers, journal writers, and reporters as “bullshit.”

This post takes a different persuasive tack. It looks at pop media, something I suspect a majority of feminists track like majestic tree hounds.

For the search term restraining order, these are the page 1 returns from the celebrity gossip site Perez Hilton:

• “Ambyr Childers Talks Co-Parenting with Ex Randall Emmett after Restraining Order Drama!”
• “Alice Evans’s Daughter Loses Bid for Restraining Order against Dad Ioan Gruffudd’s Girlfriend!”
• “Alice Evans’s 13-Year-Old Daughter Files for RESTRAINING ORDER against Ioan Gruffud & His GF after Alleged Incident at Their Home!”
• “Shark Tank Star Daymond John Files for Restraining Order against Ex-Contestants Amid Vicious Dispute”
• “Raquel Leviss BLAMED Ariana Madix for Tom Sandoval Affair, Scheana Shay Sobs over Restraining Order, & Tom Schwartz Pops Xanax on VPR Reunion Part 2!”
• “Raquel Leviss Didn’t ‘Show Up’ to Court after Trying to Drop Restraining Order—Scheanna Shay Feels ‘Vindicated’”
• “Sheana Shay Determined to ‘Prove” Raquel Leviss ‘Lied’ about Alleged Assault during Restraining Order Hearing!“
• “Raquel Leviss Dropping Restraining Order against Scheana Shay Is Nothing More Than a ‘PR Stunt,’ Source Claims!“
• “Raquel Leviss Says She’s Dropping Restraining Order—and Blames Scheana Shay for VPR Reunion Filming Trouble!“

That’s page 1, folks…of 172.
