I don't know if any of you has followed this case, but in case you did not here's a brief summary:
- In 2016 a 19 years old girl accused the 4 men of rape
- Social media treated her like garbage
- Z-list rugby players are the darling of social media
- Barrister asked the woman why did she not scream for help, as there were "middle class women" in the building. [op note because middle class women do not condone rape, the others who knows]

If you love yourself do not go look at the comments on social media. After countless shared #metoo and #timesup rape victims are still treated horribly. What are your thoughts?
