What's your favorite Woody Allen movie?

299. It means I'm not going to let you lecture me on the gross underreporting of sexual assault.

Because I'm very, very fully aware of that issue. And it is to depart from the subject to try and make it seem as though such things are distant from my understanding.

That sexual assault is grossly underreported is a statistical claim, not an outright declaration for every case. In other words, because such a statistic exists does not give anyone the authority to immediately jump to the conclusion that we are attempting to silence real child molestation by not believing every allegation. Or do you not believe it's reasonable to believe that not every allegation of sexual abuse is true?

In this specific instance, with the very limited evidence I possess (this is a debate on an internet forum, after all), I believe it is more likely that the memory of abuse is false. That the allegations made against Allen are unsupported by investigation or evidence. And that there is more than a rousing suspicion that the viciousness of a custody battle carries high potential for parents to pit children against one another.
