I think that Melinda wasn't exactly the kind of heroine that someone would refer to as a rolemodel for young girls, as she didn't tell anyone about what happened at the party until she talked to Rachel in study hall, and even then she never talked to an adult about it until the lacrosse team found Andy trying to rape her in the janitor's closet. She was making a statement with the while not speaking thing, which was pretty awesome.
