And I think sometimes it's best to just look at how people act.
At the very least, when you boil it down, Mary is living the life that aligns with what she says.
She does everything that aligns with her trauma, how she's recovering, how she's healing, and how she wants to help others.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth Loftus writes about how she hated when victims are not believed.
Quote, I do not want to see a return of those days.
Not so very long ago, when a victim's cries for help went unheard and accusations of essay were automatically dismissed as fantasy or wish fulfillment and shunted away into the backwaters of the public conscience.
Yeah, she's just saying that a lot of people think that she's against SA victims, but no, she's just here for the truth.
Meanwhile, she's testifying for defendants like Ghislaine Maxwell, Ted Bundy, Harvey Weinstein.
When someone's words and actions do not align in such a strong, repulsive way, at least in my personal opinion, you have to wonder, excuse my language, like why the fuck not?
Why is it not aligning?
Loftus does try to say that she is not the one deciding someone's innocence or guilt, just educating people on eyewitness testimony and saying, quote, well, we are all innocent until proven guilty under this wonderful system of ours.
And even very unpopular people have a right to a defense.
And while I do agree with that sentiment at its core, did you really have to go and testify for over 300 different trials with most of them being people accused of sexual abuse?
Yes, and Mary has actually confronted Elizabeth Loftus for her documentary, Am I Crazy?
One netizen sums it up really well.
Elizabeth Loftus did not prove that repressed memories aren't real.
She argued well that certain types of memories can be implanted or fabricated through suggestion.
Also, the fact that Loftus testified on behalf of Glenn Maxwell, Harvey Weinstein, Ted Bundy, etc.
raises serious red flags for me.
It doesn't discredit her research itself, but the fact that she's endorsing her work being used in this manner doesn't exactly indicate her to be a person with a sole interest of finding scientific truth.
