Brown University Student Describes What it’s Like to be Accused of Rape
Daniel Kopin told his story in a recent exclusive report with Cathy Young at The Daily Beast.
Exclusive: Brown University Student Speaks Out on What It’s Like to Be Accused of Rape
“We were friends.”
Over the course of a nearly two-hour conversation, Daniel Kopin returns to this point again and again. Ten months after an evening that irrevocably changed two young people’s lives, Kopin, a 21-year-old former Brown University student, still sounds genuinely shaken as he recounts his reaction to an August 8 email that confronted him with a stark accusation: “Dan, you raped me.”
Stories like these are currently at the center of an intense national campaign, unfolding in the media and on the political stage, to publicize and combat the problem of campus sexual assault. In the past two years, dozens of young women have come forward with shattering accounts of being abused both by their assailants and by indifferent or unsympathetic school administrators—and, more and more often, with federal civil rights lawsuits against the institutions. The alleged perpetrators in these accounts nearly always remain shadowy figures, their names protected by anonymity and their version of the events unknown. In a rare exception, Kopin decided to speak with The Daily Beast.
“I was in shock—total disbelief,” Kopin says, growing visibly agitated as he recalls reading the email. “I couldn’t—I mean, I called my mom. Being accused—something must be wrong, something must be off. That was my initial thought. But it became clear, as I looked over my facts, the text messages I had—as I racked my memory—it became clear that this was not true. What she was saying was not true.”

He deserved this for being a male feminist. If this had been someone else, he admits he would have been in on the lynch mob as he believed a victim is always telling the truth.
I don’t in any way think “he deserved it” – any more than some horrible male-hating feminist “deserves” to be raped.
That said – he certainly was on the bandwagon for the witch trials – right up until it was HIS neck in the noose – then, all of a sudden, it was “hold on, wait, I’m one of the ‘good’ guys”.
I don’t know what happened that night – their accounts vary.
Note how the women he was with had such “trigger mechanisms” built into her brain:
1)He grabbed her neck (her) / He touched or massaged her neck.
He was being passionate – and here’s my thing : if a WOMAN had done that to a MAN, this wouldn’t have been a discussion.
She SAID she was afraid of him – but then she, who was on a public street, went to his home to be alone with him?!
2) He pushed her head down. I Have dated feminist gals in college, before I wised up – and I got exactly that reaction. Here’s the problem – when a man is going down on THEM, they grab your hair and squeeze your head with their thighs and “that’s different” – and when I pointed that out, they could not wrap their minds around how it was NOT different.

Dating a ideologically indoctrinated feminist woman is playing Russian Roulette.
On every issue “but, but, but … that’s different” permeates their thinking. If you do something it’s “oppressive and scary” – but if they do it “it’s assertive and taking ownership of her sexuality”.
There is no single standard with those gals.
I don’t think this man forced himself on her – I think she was just WAITING for a chance to be offended and hurt and she took it.
Last thing – I have known a lot of feminist women during college, who experimented with being bisexual, and in just about every case, an action done by a gal they were fooling around with … had that action been done by a man, it would have been seen in a completely different light.
And that’s the point – one standard for men, and one for women. How is that equality?
“How is that equality?” Feminists are terrified of equality and relish their “victim” status. All they want is the benefits of equality w/o the responsibility. This will continue as long as they can make false rape charges with impunity
Kopin was raised and educated a Leftist. He has got exactly what he and other Commies have been agitating for. The chickens have come home to roost, and he is of the opinion that because he supports the cause he should not be accused of rape.
No, she should not have cried rape, but when the chickens come home, you just have to deal with them.
Guys need to audio/ video record their sex and when these feminists falsely accuse rape put it on the internet for instant exoneration
The bitch got such a bad case of whiplash from sucking the dude’s cock so enthusiastically that she had to go to the hosptial ER. She was totally humiliated having to explain how she hurt her neck to her parents when they got the bill for the ER deductible she it was yet another case of “retroactive sexual assault” due to “self slut-shaming” by a not-so-liberated female.
