A law professor asks this question in connection with the DSK affair, apparently with a straight face: is it "necessarily always wrong to use a news story presented as true that later turns out to be false" to gain insight about a larger "truth"? In the DSK affair, the larger alleged truth is, of course,bad male behavior.
But, as I say, don't trust me, read it and decide for yourself if that's what she's saying: http://althouse.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-if-you-soul-searched-over-event.html
As reader Mudlark commented when he sent me this blog post, "tell it to the Scottsboro boys."
If I'm reading it right -- and I think I am, even though it's a tad obscure -- it's a slap in the face to the community of the falsely accused, the forgotten collateral damage who are happily sacrificed on the altar of political correctness so that more women will "come forward" with their rape tales.
It reminds me of Time Magazine piece where Catherine Comins, then-assistant dean of student life at Vassar, "argue[d] that men who are unjustly accused [of rape] can sometimes gain from the experience. 'They have a lot of pain, but it is not a pain that I would necessarily have spared them. I think it ideally initiates a process of self-exploration.'" http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101910603-157165,00.html
You see, Professor Althouse, the problem, as we demonstrate on this blog on a daily basis, is that the feminists' "larger truth" -- about men and rape -- is comprised of a significant number of lies.
Instead of encouraging people to gain "insight" from lies, you ought to encourage them to reexamine their "larger truth."
If I am reading your blog post correctly, it is nothing short of morally grotesque.

Rather more obviously, the prevalence of false rape claims give insight into female behaviour.
I would hope the "larger truth" she's referring to is that a number of women make false rape claims for petty, vindictive, or financially- motivated reasons.
Anything else is nothing short of appalling.
Pardon my language but what a cunt.
I wonder what Comins would say if we say stuff like:
"We know women that get raped have a lot of pain, but it's not a pain that I would necessarily have spared them. I think it initiates a process of self-exploration about *whatever*".
Without comment - other than - how DO you disprove the 'accuracy' of a statement about events alleged to have occured over 30 years ago?

The same crowd said the same thing after the Duke accuser was exposed as a criminal. And people have already started making the same jackass comments about this case, "So men should get away with rape just because the victim is a liar?"
Just wait until the holiday weekend is over, and I'm sure we'll hear much more of the same tiresome crap, from the same tiresome hacks.
She's on the side of the liars, obviously. And really, this goes to the heart of what feminism is really all about, and what our legal system has become.
"Feminazi" indeed!
I just read the entire thing, and it truly is bizarre; especially where she compares a false rape accusation to reading a good book.
Not only is she a cunt, I suspect she is more than a little psychotic.
Incidentally, the gals at feministing have learned a new word: "credibility"!
***
"The Strauss-Kahn sexual assault case may be thrown out due to a potential lack of “credibility” from the alleged victim. Here is the letter from the District Attorney to DSK’s lawyer with details. More to come."
I'm a conservative and I don't think Ann is arguing that it gives insight into male behavior but blogger who is. She is a conservative psych blogger, brillaint and yet on this issue I think we see it in different terms.
In fact more like Althouse description.

Anon at 8:12: Then Althouse neeeds to learn to communicate better, brilliant or not. I simply quoted her plain words. Are you saying she means something other than what she plainly says?
It's obviously that this so called female law teacher cannot distinguish between fiction and reality when she claims that we can learn from both false rape claims and fiction.When I was a med student I spent 3 months on the psych ward and we had many patients who couldn't tell the difference between reality and fantasy either and most of them were a lot smarter than this law teacher. The only thing that I've learned from false rape accusations is that the female is lying 9 times out of 10.I've found that the female is prone to sexual delusions and will even believe that someone has had sex with her (eg. incubus or just someone she fantasizes about) mainly because the average female is obsessed with sex and interprets everything in a sexual way. She is constantly thinking about how she looks (her sexual attractiveness) and she is projecting her thoughts onto men. She has a poor grasp on the dividing line between what's in her mind and reality and may even believe that what she's thinking actually happened. And this is the average normal female so you can imagine what goes in the female mind who has some psychiatric disorder. Females who make false reports may do it for some gain or for an excuse or out of pure maliciousness.That maliciousness may also be motivated from some fictitious injury or perhaps she's just ignored by man and she may believe she suffered at the hands of a man but of course it's just all in her mind. They may make false reports against a non existant man and it's very common.
If you've even been around children you know that they tend to imagine things or misinterpret perfectly normal everyday things. Perhaps we really do have to treat females as we do children and take everything they say with a large grain of salt.
when it comes to the DSK case, may I suggest that you all read the Slog on the subject.
Lots of facts, lots of references, lots of insight, lots of common sense...

The moral is that false rape accusations don't happen by accident; nor are they merely the product of the occasional prosecutorial misconduct or incompetence.
There is an entire culture breeding and enabling this slime, including DSK's liar-whore.
Im glad to see some of the pervert DA's in New york getting "Knifonged" for their persecutions of the innocent.

Nice to see something done on behalf of men for a change.
