False Rape - Alyssa Hamilton

On Monday the police declared that they were unable to find any substantive basis to help support a Rolling Stone magazine article that depicted a horrific gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house. However, the police also declared that a four-month review had identified serious discrepancies in the account of a woman, Jackie, who refused to cooperate with their investigation. After going through evidence the police were unable to say if a party was held that night that led to a rape or not, there was no evidence point towards the party though.

Throughout history women have been treated as less then men, this “all changed” during the civil rights movement, but now we see today that nothing has changed. Evidence of a rape must be presented to get repercussions for the rapist. But is there ever any more evidence then the women's word, and that always goes against the mans and who is to be believed in today's society and in history.
