She says he sexually assaulted her; he denies it. Is somebody deliberately lying?
Not necessarily.
Experts say that because of how memory works, its possible that both Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford the woman who says a drunken Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and groped her at a party when they were teenagers in the early 1980s believe what they say.
And which one of them believes his or her version more strongly is no tipoff to what really happened.
Confidence is not a good guide to whether or not someone is telling the truth, said Nora Newcombe, a psychology professor at Temple University in Philadelphia. If they think theyre telling the truth, they could plausibly both be confident about it.(continued)

Woke up thinking this a.m, how many stupid things I did when i was a teenager. Things with a sow in a barn, when I was in kindergarten taking the panties off of my friend cause I wanted to see. Seems that any girl going to a party where teen age boys were getting drunk would set off some alarms for ladies who wanted to keep their privates, private. IF Christine is such a GREAT Pyschologist, WHY is she so FEARFUL to get on a plane, or can;t be in closed quarters. Maybe she needs the psychologist. This gal has a LOT of reason to go back into her classroom and tell the world to go ahead and vote for their Supreme Court Justice.
Chances are there’s many, many similar incidents party girl Ford’s enjoyed.....her on a bed surrounded by boozed-up boys.
Looks to me like she’s got a great memory.....she’s stringing together one bit here and one bit there.
The overall effect she hopes will be that she’s “hazy” with the details b/c it was so “traumatic.”
Truth is most of us would NEVER forget when and where a sexual attack occurred.
Please tell me that pic isn’t real.
Check it out and see....appears to be real from what I’ve seen.....
It’s never been established to my knowledge that they knew each other plus Kavanaugh had a classmate who is a dead ringer for him. Their own classmates had trouble knowing which was which.
Release the letter so the lies in it can be debunked I mean fact checked.
Even DiFi said it wasn’t all legit
Is that REALLY Blasey-Ford??? Seriously?? Where did you find this picture?
She saw that video if how United Airlines staff abuse passengers...
I thought this photo has floated on the interntz for decades
Memories certainly can be unreliable. That’s why a 30 something year old accusation is completely meaningless without physical proof, and it seems a bit late to get that.
Just been posted on FR.
She said she had on a one piece bathing suit that day or night, which means it was a POOL PARTY....so WHOSE HOUSE had a POOL??
No - I’ve seen that picture LONG ago - it is a famous one on the interwebs.
That's true. But not every "remembered" sexual assault did occur. Back in those days, a lot of teens in "enlightened" environments were quite free to experiment with sex, drugs, booze.
Many girls made decisions that they regretted after the fact. Rather than take responsibility, in their minds they reframed the incident so it wasn't their fault. That skewed narrative became reality over time.
In this case, even on FB, a substantial number of women aren't believing this woman. There's something about the way she is all blame and no accountability that doesn't ring true. The other thing, if it's real memories about something she's lived with her whole life, she wouldn't need time to prepare.
I wish DC pubs weren't so dumb or complacent. More time is giving FemNazis an opportunity to put together obnoxious protests in hopes of swaying Flake and Collins.
The poor thing is so confused......cant remember details b/c she’s been traumatized. (smirk)
