Well, the problem is that she and her supporters are more than happy to make absolute claims in the midst of the uncertainty. Whoever made these posters is pushing back against that. They’re putting the other side of the argument out there. All the caveats and uncertainties exist and should be discussed but the posters aren’t the right place for that. Their job is to be pithy and make a statement.

I quite agree. I think the posters are great. Such “speaking truth to power” should be applauded.

Just trying to note that we do not and cannot know for sure what happened that night. Only the two involved can know.

Maybe not even them. Sufficient alcohol and drugs may mean you don’t remember what happened at all, much less remember it clearly. Not proud of it, but when younger I had a number of occasions where I couldn’t remember the latter half of the evening before. Had someone accused me of rape (or murder), my only honest response would have been, “I don’t think I would do such a thing.”

Even if stone sober, people’s memories are remarkably inaccurate, even when they are trying to tell the truth as best they can and don’t have some kind of agenda to back up.

Recently I found some contemporaneous evidence of what happened to me in an event some decades back. Darn if my memory of the event hadn’t drifted quite a bit away from the actual facts.
