I totally agree with that, but...<br /><br />Equating the stories of manipulated children, with women who are bravely stepping forward to speak of their victimization is an example of Gaslighting.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GaslightingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7018073541417646773.post-27007475121029302122017-11-15T23:39:35.801-05:002017-11-15T23:39:35.801-05:00I agree that we should not require “absolute proof...I agree that we should not require “absolute proof” of an allegation, even though I have no idea what “absolute proof” means. But in puritanical, punitive, prison-crazy America, we must not forget the presumption of innocence. Nor should we forget that period in the 1990s when there was so much talk of satanic sex-abuse cults preying on children. Turned out to have been a period of mass hysteria, with tons of false allegations elicited by psychologists and social workers and cops well trained in the art of psychological manipulation. The people who suffered from that craziness includes kids who really were abused. There were lots of them, and many were falsely disbelieved after the child-abuse cult stories were proven to be false.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
