Summary This live hangout mentions the recent death of Professor Michael Patterson, and the final settlement of the case of the falsely accused Paul Gambaccini. The main subject is the way claims of tonic immobility are used to explain away false and in particular purportedly delayed reports of rape. Jim Hopper is a major proponent of this rubbish, and is all the more dangerous because he is a scientist with relevant credentials. The propaganda churned out by Rape Crisis Scotland is also discussed. There is a short discussion of the work of Thomas Szasz and how this is relevant to false allegations. This is followed by a discussion of how Hopper has allowed himself to be taken in by Christine Blasey Ford. This includes playing some clips from YouTube (audio only).
