In support of Dr. Ford

[Brian37]

I'm sure that you are a bleeding heart liberal when not on the forum  

No, but I have empathy for many hurting people. I'm pretty cold on some topics. Like pet deaths, I just feel like grow the fuck up. But I have empathy on many other issues, particularly addictions.

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 didn't suggest that at all. I said that I'm pretty neutral regarding Ford's credibility, despite my wife's doubts. I agree that people react differently. But, I do find it somewhat suspicious that she remembers things that help her charge (drank exactly one beer) but forgets things that could provide falsifiability (like how she got home).

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.

Again, your inferences aren't necessarily my implications. She didn't know she'd get $700,000 for this when she came forward. That's just a bonus. Maybe a book deal will come next.

HOLY SHIT YOU STUPID FUCK, this isn't about money or class! THIS IS ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT YOU STUPID FUCK!

My mom didn't get rich or famous nor did she get a book deal, nor were the perps famous. Quit your bullshit poor me false victim CRAP. Sexual assault is an ASSAULT issue, not a class issue. 

So basically women cant accuse anyone because men are scared. FUCK YOU!
