Well, has anyone considered that these models just had these "memories" implanted and they're suffering from false memory syndrome (it's SUPER common, you guys, way more than actual harassment and very relevant to bring up in discussions about sexual harassment/assault). If he's a photographer why isn't there any of…

Can't find the citation, eh? Seems most likely that someone implanted the memory of reading the Mr. Black study in YOU!

Where are you getting that number? 10% of sexual assault against children allegations are false? Are you counting cases that cannot be brought to court or that are dismissed, which usually means there wasn't enough of the right evidence, not that the claims were false? I don't believe that number.

Look, I don't know anything about this person besides that first article so that's what I was going on. Thanks for the new article. It still doesn't seem relevant. It's still about adults having false memories from childhood implanted into their brain. It's not about children having false memories implanted the day…

But aren't you basing the idea that she might have a false memory on past examples of bad behavior by even citing the bizarre McMartin case?

I know what this is. It is ONE scandal and it turned out to be false. Most day-care sexual abuse cases are true - wouldn't that make you more likely to believe a child? It resulted in mass hysteria but it was one scandal. Children are sexually abused all the time and this commenter has cited Allen's disturbing track…

What happened to Mel Gibson when he railed against Jews and made racist remarks? I want that for Woody Allen - these charges to be mentioned in the same breath as his success and for him to be kicked out of Hollywood. Unless hate speech matters more than sexual assault of a child. I want people to stop doubting this…

WAIT. Did you read this article? This is a scientist who is thought of as "highly controversial" by her peers - that seems to put it nicely. What she studies isn't what Dylan Farrow experienced. This scientist studies "long lost" memories that are suddenly recalled decades later; Dylan Farrow accused Woody Allen at…

All of these are so insignificantly rare when compared to how often people are actually sexually abused that they hardly bear mentioning. Unless you're super desperate to discount the experience of a woman who was sexually abused. Again, that's like saying you're disinclined to believe rape accusations because you…

Wait, why does this story remind you of Satanism in kindergarten? Children are sexually assaulted all the time - kindergarteners are never taught Satanism in school. Why is this similar? How can you compare those two instances, then list out some disgusting perverted behavior from this man, but still don't know whom…

No, it's not likely. At all. And there's no evidence of it. If people want to use her memories as evidence of anything, why would they be evidence of implanted coaching rather than of the crime she recalls.

What evidence would there be of digital penetration? Read http://thenewinquiry.com/blogs/zunguzun…:

For all the people who are you going to ask you: http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2013…

It really illustrates the power of the stereotypes about women. The first scenario is one that is based on his own words, his track record with young women, and the evidence from the young woman he victimized (both then and now). The second scenario relies exclusively on reinforcing the image of the vindictive,…

Because you don't want some lady you sexually abused coming back with those accusations at a prime time in your career. Also because it is a crime that happens predominantly to women/young women. So, you know, not as serious as murder. I just cannot.

I hope you're not insulted that I said you were influenced by rape culture; I meant it as an underlying bias most people struggle with, rather than that you don't believe rape victims. As for not wanting the charges to be true, I hope that's because you hope a child wasn't raped, not because you don't want to see your…

Thank you, you perfect angel!

Interesting that you bring up systems here. I would argue that rape is distinct from other violent crimes because of a system that keeps it normal and silent: rape culture. While it's not written into the way we govern the country, rape culture is implicit in everything, including reactions to crimes. I suggest…

This is actually super common. My dad is a lawyer and he always says, "Never put a woman on a jury for a rape trial." I think it's a sort of projection because sex assault is so common. Especially older women, he says, will often blame the victim but he has wondered if it's a form of self-blame for the past. For…

I think what people are pointing out here is, if someone told you they were robbed at gunpoint, you wouldn't say, "Where's your evidence?" You would believe them. So why wouldn't you trust a woman or child who said they were sexually assaulted? I'm not being rhetorical - I think a lot of folks really need to answer…
