"Monica Coleman, directer of womanist and religious studies at Bennett College in Greensboro, told the gathering that sexual assault is underreported because of society's skepticism and intimidation of its victims, both subtly and not-so-subtly."

The False Accuser has undermined belief in real victims' reporting assaults.

Womanist definition:

(adj) "Having or expressing a belief in or respect for women and their talents and abilities beyond the boundaries of race and class: "Womanist...tradition assumes, because of our experiences during slavery, that black women already are capable" (Alice Walker)

(n.) One whose beliefs or actions are informed by womanist ideals.

Does that mean that,because there's not a black woman alive today who was a slave,there are no "capable" black women to be found in this country?
