"I survived because the misogyny inside me burned brighter than the fire around me."

I think this pretty clearly falls under "Fighting Words" legality. He insulted her honor, they fought in a battle of wills, he lost.

Walpole had described Mr Loader as being antagonistic towards her throughout the night, trying to wrestle her and wake her sleeping boyfriend.

"I was feeling overwhelmed by [Mr Loader's] presence and I didn't know what to do," she told the court.

Her anger then flared when Mr Loader told her she should stay in the kitchen making scones where she belonged, and not to go drinking with boys.

She left the table where they were drinking to collect a five-litre container of petrol from her garage, and poured it on Mr Loader before waving around her lighter.

Mr Loader said, "Go on, do it," before Walpole set him on fire.

Fuck around and find out tbh

Crown prosecutor Max Pincott said Walpole had plenty of time to calm down.

"You could have walked away from this, couldn't you, but you didn't," he said.

Prosecutor basically saying "well, why didn't you just get back in the kitchen like the misogynist piece of shit asked you to?"

You know what? Good on her. Not an overreaction to me. Sounds to me like Loader is the kind of fuckwit says misogynistic, and probably racist shit "as a joke" then tries to take it all back. I'm glad she checked his ass in the worst way possible.
