I’m not seeing a lot of people that are amused here in the comments. Outraged. Flabbergasted. Incensed. Pissed off. Perplexed. But amused? I’m not seeing that so far. There’s a distinct lack of rollicking comments.
This is where I first heard about “this stuff,” so for me it was informative. YMMV.
I could see your point if the article were advancing this theory as fact. It’s not, beyond documenting the fact that it happened…
Lastly, welcome to boingboing, shiny new member. I hope you don’t find your time here full of disappointment.
I’ll bet if your friend had tried to rape her, it would have remained clearer in her memory “many years later”. I think it has something to do with the adrenaline, and the almost being raped that helps it stick. You are correct; memory can be tricky. But important things, like being almost raped when you are a 15-year-old by a person you think may accidentally kill you, are certainly yearbook moments in a young woman’s life. Perhaps your life is so full of excitement that a moment like that could have been five years ago or last Tuesday, and are easy to confuse which was which. I don’t know.
Welcome to you as well. I see you’ve only read two Kavanaugh articles so far. Try to expand your horizons a bit; there’s so much more that makes up bb.
This article is really drumming up new membership. I can’t wait for the Peterson thread to reopen… ah. Speak of the devil.
