  • Nah, continuing a task while trying to process something like this is something the vast majority of humans would do.

    I remember a common repost on reddit. A female reporter in the 60s asked businessmen on the street about sexual harassment and if it was ok to touch their secretaries. The ones that would say it was ok shed start sexually harassing them and they had no fucking clue what to do.

    They reacted the same way, trying to continue the interview but obviously uncomfortable (even tho they had just been flirting with the attractive reporter).

    I’m a guy (a pretty big guy at that) and I’ve had women grope me out of nowhere during my bar days. It’s a mindfuck, and you just kind of go on autopilot while you try to rationalize what’s happening.

    The woman’s reaction in this video is completely normal.


  • Lupe something.

    And he wasnt convicted, but was going to. The state had a “medical expert” show up and testify that there was no way an adult woman could look like that. Just 100% sure of himself and smug as fuck about it.

    Then the defense called the pornstar to the stand and she was in her late 20s or something and working in the industry for over a decade.

    It was something that never should have made it to trial, and gets used a lot as an example for how shit expert testimony can be. The prosecution doesn’t try to find the person who knows the most, they find whoever can do the best job of convincing a jury that the prosecution is right. So the people who do it (some are professional “expert witnesses”) are just the most overconfident people. Even if they’re not sure, they play it up that there can’t be any doubt.
