UNC rape survivor Delaney Robinson comes forward with brave statement
Delaney Robinson, a sophomore at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill alleged Tuesday that a football player at the school raped her in February and that UNC has done nothing about it. In a powerful personal statement she explained how “she did everything a rape victim is supposed to do.”

Tell me again that rape culture is nonexistent.

Tell me again that there’s no crisis on college campuses.

Tell me again that justice will be served if victims “just go to the police.”

TELL ME AGAIN THAT OUR SOCIETY DOESN’T PROTECT RAPISTS AND SPIT ON THEIR VICTIMS.

Let’s talk about that “she must be lying” reaction whenever women accuse a man of abuse or rape.

Not only are false allegations ridiculously rare, but women are three times less likely to lie than men. And even then, what do women lie about most often? Their feelings. Women have been socialized to conceal their true emotions from men (despite being stereotyped as “emotional”), and made to look like evil liars whenever they have the courage to tell the truth.

I dare you to tell me again about “reasonable doubt.”
