Hi Lauren,

During the end of your video you had a discussion regarding interviewees giving you consent to use footage you took of them, and during the interview you posed the question "If a woman gives consent the night before, but retracts that consent the next day and reports the man as being a rapist that's ok?"

A: how did that conversation end after the woman said your question was "Irrelevant."

B: What makes a feminist believe that it's ok to do something like that? I have a close friend who had a similar situation happen to him. After 6 months of torture the woman broke down and said everything she had said prior was a lie. Very difficult to watch a friend go through something like that.

I totally agree. I believe we are seeing that trend not only on this topic, but many others.

Feminists have an agenda but it seems that agenda has turned into a vicious attack on men in general rather than the crime. You brought up a good point when you said "There is no rape culture here, there is a rape culture in Africa." The point being, imo, the rally was not to demonize the crime of rape, but rather to demonize men. And that shines through in the tumblr pages, instagram posts etc etc. It just seems it's more about the attack on men rather than the crime it self.
