Question M

[Jonetta]

Ella, Jessica and Harper were victims of “date” rape and believed the system would not bring them justice. While Harper’s experience and mental breakdown was extreme, most young women who’ve experienced these type of assaults are often let down by that system, especially when it involves star athletes or men with power and wealth. Have we gotten better at all? Your thoughts?

[Charlene]

I would like to think that we have improved, but often I become quite doubtful that assaulted women ever get a true break, or even an approximation of justice.

[Robin]

I don't think we're any better now than previously. The rich can still buy their way out of trouble.

[Sharon]

Nothing changes. It is too easy for men to use their celebrity to win over their fans and escape any real punishment.
