Obvious Rape Hoax: South African Edition

Quote:This Brave Woman Shared Her Chilling Story Moments After She Got Raped
One woman will not let her sexual assault experience defeat her.
New York activist Amber Amour believes that people should come forward anytime they experience sexual assault, and that's exactly what she did.
Amour was on tour in Cape Town, South Africa promoting her "Stop Rape. Educate." campaign when she was allegedly raped by a man she met on tour. Moments after the assault, Amber Amour posted the details of her alleged sexual assault to Instagram.

"I immediately knew that I couldn't keep what happened a secret," Amour explained to Marie Claire UK. "Here, I was telling survivors every single day that they should speak up...I knew that I had to practice what I preached. So the first thing I did was take a picture and write a post, describing what happened. It was almost an intuitive thing. I was still in the bathroom — in the crime scene. I don't think that I'd stood up. I Just typed and typed."
But not everyone was happy with her decision to post the details of her ordeal on social media. Some left victim-blaming comments on the post. After people found out that Amour willingly accepted an invitation to hop in the shower with the same man who raped her and blogged about it, sympathy for Armour quickly dried up.
For those blaming her for the incident, Amour had a message. In a follow-up Instagram post she faced critics head on and underscored that rape — no matter what the circumstances — is never okay.
"For those who wish to BLAME ME or any other survivor out there, I want you to know that you are the very reason that I am so brutally honest. I could have hidden details. I could have kept some info to myself, but NO. You need to know the truth and to see the reality of the situation. No matter what a person does, it is not an invitation for rape. It doesn't matter if I kissed him. It doesn't matter if he was drunk. It doesn't matter if I said yes to a shower. I never said he could get violent with me. I never said he could make me bleed. I never said he could rape me. But still, that's how the scene went down.
Shortly after the assault, Amour contacted the U.S. Embassy in South Africa and notified the South African police. According to Amour's post, both the U.S. Embassy and the South African police were supportive and sought to arrest the man who allegedly assaulted Amour.
Since then Amour has been trying to stay positive and empower others. Just one month after being assaulted in South Africa, Amour posted a picture of herself sitting naked in a body of water as a statement that nudity doesn't equate to consent, alluding to the night of her sexual assault in the shower.

Since I got raped last month, I've been spending more time naked in public with strangers. (Yes, you heard that right!) ? Not only do I enjoy the freedom I feel being nude in nature, but it's also to prove the point that nudity does not equate to sex or rape. I skinny dipped in a few waterfalls and swam naked at night in the Indian Ocean. I was with men & women from different backgrounds and ages and GUESS WHAT? I didn't get raped. ? This proves the point that clothing/nudity do not cause rape, only rapists do!! The man who attacked me would have done so regardless. I didn't even take my clothes off to take the shower, he destroyed them leaving them bloodied. ? So to answer the question "What kind of woman takes a shower with a guy who is not her boyfriend?" (Stop assuming I'm straight, btw.) The answer is I DO! I'm a liberated, body positive naturist. If I want to swim or shower with a stranger, that's exactly what I'll do! Most people are not rapists. Most people have self control. I'm not putting myself in "dangerous situations" I'm being the change I wish to see in the world: a world where women are safe and free to live how they please! By exposing the female body in a non-sexual way, we systematically desexualize it. So, I'm gonna keep rocking birthday suit which reminds me: My birthday is in 3 days!! ?

She also debunked her critics' idea that she somehow brought the assault upon herself, since she so easily showered with and trusted a man she hardly knew.
"Most people have self control," she wrote. "I'm not putting myself in 'dangerous situations' I'm being the change I wish to see in the world: a world where women are safe and free to live how they please! By exposing the female body in a non-sexual way, we systematically desexualize it."

In an interview with Marie Claire UK Amour revealed her history experiencing sexual assault, which began when she was 12. Then it happened again when she was 24 after her roommate assaulted her. It was that incident that Amour decided to start the campaign "Stop Rape. Educate."
One out of six women have been victims of sexual assault and 17.7 million women have been victims of attempted or completed rape, according to Rape Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN). Many women who are survivors of sexual assault often feel hesitant to speak out, but Amour says doing so is the best thing that women who have experienced similar things can do.
"That's why speaking out is one of the best ways to fight back," Amour told Marie Claire UK. "No man out there wants the reputation of being a rapist. And when we start telling each other about what has happened to us, be it face-to-face, or over the phone or on social media — it creates a sense of shame. But this time it's placed on those who are actually at fault. And that's the way it should be."
This is such obvious bullshit that I can't even. These fucking rape hoaxes are getting more and more implausible every time.
First of all, we know off the bat that this woman is a hardcore feminist, is obsessed with rape, and claims to have been "raped" multiple times. Most of the pictures on her Instagram are rape-related.
Why, especially if you are hyper-aware of rape, would you get in the fucking shower with someone whose sexual advances you had previously rebuffed?
Here's what probably actually happened: he got in the shower with her, got one look at her cellulite and armpit hair and said awww hellll nawww, therefore RAAAAAAAAPE!. Time to break out the eyedropper and post a picture with some fake-ass tears to Instagram!
