benefit of the doubt?
Silenced,
Are you saying that when someone is sort of obnoxious, that they probably have Asperger's syndrome? That when someone is rude at the party saying women have no spatial sense, or whatever, they in fact, have a disability? I used to call such a person something like "jerk" or "a**hole" but now I'll just say " Hey, stop acting obnoxious, you Asperger's Syndrome sufferer!"
Maybe I have it too by your wide definition. That, ADD, OCD, MSNBC and TMI.
From this thread, and by your definition, the girls who peed on the soccer field may have Asperger's, the chinese official, many frequent posters and most definitely the Anonymous fool with a lot of time on his hands to call AKA Smith names. I think that Anonymous fits one of my descriptions more than yours, even though yours is more compassionate.

Rape
"What I wrote was that if my daughter had met someone at a party that she didn't know, that if she started making out and groping this other person, and that if she and this other person both were so drunk that the next day they didn't remember what had happened the night before, and that if her sole complaint was that while she was consenting to the groping that she may not have consented to sex but that she could not remember, then she probably got off lucky."
I keep a gun and a shovel just in case something like that ever happens to my daughter. If any punk enters my daughter while she was incoherently drunk, he will probably never ever be seen again. If a woman/girl is incoherently drunk, consent has been taken off of the table. An incoherently drunk woman/girl cannot give consent, and every decent man knows that.
You're right AKA Smith he is not a decent guy, but I am saying this because he has willingly provided evidence that he is not.
This guy is in worse need of soul searching than I thought.

afraid
The hell with gender and scapegoating-- What I'm seeing nowadays is everybody becoming afraid of everybody else. I wonder how society can hold together if this continues.

@fetboy, your arrogance and ignorance is stunning
Women initiate the majority of divorces, and my initiated this one.
We went through 4 years of therapy.
I was not the primary care giver, especially since I am not equipped for breast feeding. I was not the primary care giver since my job didn't allow me to bring babies, infants, and toddlers in, though my wife's ph.d program did.
However, everyone agreed that after they had grown to 1 and 3 years old, four days a week, it was my job (amongst others) to make the kids breakfast, take the kids to daycare, pick them up and usually make them dinner.
No, I did not go straight to the lawyer, she did. I did whatever we could to get to an agreement. The court's family court counselor's both said in their report that most disputes are solved in one meeting with them, but we took five meetings, after which they said in their report that we should share joint custody. After receiving that report, that was when the ex suddenly decided she needed to immediately move out of state, with the kids, which the law at that time gave her permission to do. When I contested that -- that's when the sexual allegations were reported and as I said, reported only to her lawyer and to the court shrink.
Again fetboy, it is amazing to me how much you know about what happens or what happened based on your reading of a few posts. Your arrogance and ignorance is possibly outweighed on this board only by Agent Smith's.
@Agent Smith, your son has been accused of being a drunk and a rapist, what kind of mother are you? What kind of feminist are you? What's your move?

@--Anonymous 04:18 PM
Based on your comments I can understand why your ex-wife would want to get as far away from you as possible.
Do you realize that you basically justified the date rape pill? Did you say similar things in the meetings and court proceedings?
You're a sick man, and you need help.

I hhave no idea as to the state of Anonoymous previous marriage
but fetboy, you are sure in for one hell of a surprise when your wife divorces you. All that equal sharing and caring will be as mist in the wind.

"reported only to her lawyer and to the court shrink"
This raised my eyebrows! If not, they could be holding it in abeyance for negotiation purposes or else just protecting the child[ren] because by law suspicions of child abuse must be reported to Child Protective Services.
Furthermore, that "False Memory" organization was founded by parents of an ADULT woman who accused her father of sexual abuse. They have been a bit of a haven ever since for people accused of sexual abuse. They love to cite McMartin. Their "science" is suspect because it is so self-interested.
Furthermore, Child Protective Services does not use the term unfounded to mean untrue. Instead, it just means that actionable evidence was not acquired. They often use it when they just don't want to (for various reasons) take action.
In short, unfounded does not equal false. Little children have difficult actually understanding timelines and giving evidence that fits in a legal framework.
The Anonymous who calls me "Agent Smith" is becoming more and more interesting to me.

Why was the discussion thread prematurely closed on the previous Broadsheet mention of the first Zaslow article?
Why was it, Ms. Clark-Flory?

Agent Smith, you're misrepresenting what I said again, aren't you...
As I said, there were no reports made to anyone apart from lawyer and a shrink representing the kids to the court. No reports to police, to CPS, to schools, ... No reports from police, from CPS, from schools, from doctors, from teachers, from neighbors....
No reports Agent Smith, and no other accusations except those that occurred when she was pleading her case to the court psych and judge -- so nothing was held in abeyance for negotiation, and the claims were made "to protect the children", it's just that no one took them seriously since there was no evidence and no record.
Now, I suspect that if the court shrink or the judge felt there was reason to call CPS in, I think they would have. Don't you? And if they didn't, why not?
And regarding McMartin and FMSF, what I presented you with was a peer-reviewed article in the American Journal of Psychotherapy that states that in heated custody cases false allegations of child abuse occur at rates up to 50%.
But what I take your meaning to be, is that you think that McMartin did happen, and that there is no such thing as false memory syndrome. That's fine, I am sure you also belief in Alien Abductions and Past Life Regression. Those are also recalled and reconstructed memories, right?
Instead of misrepresenting what I have written, why not answer the clear question I asked of you?
Your son has been accused of rape as I described earlier. He remembers consent was given. She says no. Both clearly gave consent to kissing and groping. Both were drinking in excess. Neither remembers the night clearly. Your son is a rapist Agent Smith, how will you defend him? And if you do, what sort of feminist are you?
