There have been a few, but even if there weren't, extrapolating from behavior on an internet forum is unwarranted.
I'm sure that you are a bleeding heart liberal when not on the forum

She finds Ford less believable than I do. I'm pretty neutral on it. My wife, however, doubts Ford due to Ford's inability to remember where it took place, how she got home, etc. My wife remembers all of that. So, your suggestion that a person without empathy for Ford must not understand sexual assault is incorrect, and an insult to women who have been assaulted but don't believe Ford.
But then different people react differently to trauma. For some everything can be remembered in vivid detail. For others they repress the memories because they are too painful. Just because your wife experienced it one way doesn't mean to say that everyone else thinks like her.
The thing is, you're the one who mentioned your wife and used her history to imply that others should also not believe Ford.
I don't know much about the case and haven't been keeping up with the news so I am not going to say one way or another. But what I do know is that you need to be pretty fucked up as a person to lie about something like this regardless of the money. You'd have to be someone who lacks empathy to even suggest otherwise. So your insinuation that Ford is doing it for the money smacks of you just wanting to brush it all under the carpet.
