You don't seem to understand the idea behind what it is I'm actually saying. I'm not saying she's manipulating people intentionally. Unintentionally, however, it's hard for that to not be the case when you publish an article to the public only telling your readers a particular angle as it relates to an agenda. I'm simply saying that if she were unbiased and objective, her story would have not just used a personal tragedy to unequivocally link to the totality of oppression.

Why is the article biased? Why are we judging it's merit based on whether or not it has an agenda?

The counter is right in front of your face. Opposing opinions do not have to manifest themselves in the form of the media that's being opposed. If you do not consider my opinion a valid form of opposition, then I wonder about your definition of basic things in general.
I'm all for opposing opinions, i just think your opinion is flawed.

Anyway, I'm simply making an analysis of the article on which to base my opinion on. That's generally how you do it, if you wish to form and vocalize an opinion about something. And as far as whether I'm only seeing one portion of the evidence for my own interpretation, I could say the same about you. In reality, we're both right. What you're saying is correct, and what I'm saying is also correct. Our real disagreement, whether you still have yet to realize it or not, is in the degree at which either position is more important on a larger scale.
I disagree with the notion that she took liberties with her article in order to portray something other than reality. I don't see the two portions of evidence, I see one, and it's all synonymous with her article.

For me, considering all the factors behind this sort of thing as it relates to racial oppression is a tad bit more important than casting rape as the sole arbiter of its existence. Especially when you can get more support for change based on the totality of the problem, versus a single circumstance and event.
Again, this is not what she was doing with the article. It's strange to criticize the article for not being an something entirely else.

The totality of the problem has been apparent for many decades. She decided to share her direct misfortune due to it.
