Memory

I laughed when I heard the joke , “if you remember the 60’s and 70’s you weren’t there.” Alice Cooper who made his first four shock rock albums drunk and stoned and his next 20 clean and sober joked recently about reading celebrity autobiographies.”I was there and I know that they’re only vaguely true... the memories of then are more like a dream’
I just enjoyed one of many neurological and psychiatric podcasts I’ve been listening to on ‘constructive memory’ The last neuroscientist said the implications of the research are huge and should revolutionize the legal system. Unfortunately it remains 19th century in a 21st century world. Nothing was more trubling than to listen to the OJ trial handling of DNA evidence appreciating how scientifically outdated the legal system is regarding some aspects of evidence.The same holds true regarding memory and testimony.
There are state and trait factors affecting memory. Mood,  attention, group agreement, social acceptability, medication, drugs , marijuana, time of day and pre conception are all factors involved in memory. The basal ganglia affects attention as the hippocampus affects memory but short term and long term memory are also affected by neocortical and subcritical structures.
The reason I remember Beatles songs is as much to do with them being replayed endlessly through my life.
Retrospective falsification is the phenomena of consciously or unconsciously mis remembering events previously held true. The simplest near ubiquitous example are the post divorce claims “I never loved him. I never loved her.’ despite the obvious hard evidence of wedding children and photos and then the change of heart with anterograde ripples. It’s been said that after WW2 not one German could be found who said they’d supported the Nazi party. Even Peter denied Jesus until the cock crowed.
False Memory Syndrome was a term that arose when biological fathers were serially and routinely accused of infant rape and pedophilia not just for psychopathic reasons but based on the fallacies of emotional memory. Metaphors become reality and marketers like Goebbels knew even a lie repeated loud and long enough becomes the perceived truth. Individual memory is like the collective memory of history. There it is said the winner writes history. In the individual there are similar characters
Competing for the dominant narrative.
It’s all further complicated by research on time, causation and perception. The questions regarding time travel are complicated by the multiplicity of possible pasts. This are all sobering considerations to be considered in this latest mental health epidemic of memory and false memory. All this of course is occurring at a time when an aging population fears forgetting their car keys is a sign of dementia. Time really to study neuroplasticity and how that affects memory and read again the classic ‘The man who mistook his wife for a hat’

Lying Women and False Sexual Harassment Claims

Herstaria, the political correct word for hysteria which containing the hated 'his' could no longer be used as it offended women. HERSTARIA by contrast is the present Public Mental Health Epidemic of False Sexual Harassment Claims. She "stars" as a 'faux victim'.  It has long been noted that 'false allegations of victimship ' is an insurance scam.

"Victimship' today may be more about 'influence' and 'attention' and 'services' than actual money. Andy Warhol did promise 20 minutes of fame for everyone and many of those long in the tooth are angry enough to feel they deserve it.

I am surprised though it has followed so closely on the last Sex Industry Mental Health Epidemic, 'infant rape.'  Merely  a couple of decades ago every infant or toddler involved in a family law custody trial was 'raped' with violent intercourse and no evidence of trauma.  Millions of men and children were savagely harmed by this epidemic that perhaps caused more harm than  the Ebola Virus.

Grandparents objecting to themselves being deemed dangerous to infants because their son had married a woman who put herself before the needs of the child began the investigations and studies that concluded in the well established 'false memory syndrome' and 'parental alienation syndrome' fairly ubiquitous at one time in the divorce landscape.

Cultural maxism and the Burocratic State were all for destruction of the family, tenets proposed early by Marx and Engles.  There must be only one god and that God must be  the State.

The legal system rather than expanding it's paradigm continued to treat children as property with a bias that the mother 'owned' the children. Courts fell into three groups, reasonable adult judges with their own children trying to propose a settlement of conflict for the sake of the children and parents, old men easily manipulated by their biology and the desperate sexual wiles of angry women who found grandfather aged men were happy to chivalrously 'rescue' the 'little lady' even when the mother was extremely abusive or, anti male feminist judges, one woman judge finding some 350 consecutive custody cases against the father.

In enlightened countries, family law cases are dealt with by mixed gender tribunals and increasingly here in Canada, after 30 years of ruin and devastation, by mediation, first introduced in the US decades before Canada. There is  evidence of healthy progress in an institution not known for evolution except as political expedience.

Now we see  we don't hear about the rape of children in the media.  The principle reason was that it was found that the majority of cases noted in divorce trials were false.  Further there was major factual evidence brought forward of children being 'coached' through 'extortion' by their mothers and feminist counsellors.  The overt and quite rabid bias of the sometimes frankly psychotic women involved in these affairs was increasingly made public such that 'interviews of children' and "examinations' had to be recorded and video taped. Already by the late 90's I worked in the US with a paediatrician who had undergone 6 months of formal training in the examination of children accused of being sexually abused.  The profound negative psychological consequences of children who survived the decades of 'false memory syndrome' continues today.

Yet here we are again,mere decades later with countless women claiming to be drugged and raped and if that is  too challenging to suggest, sexually harassed, which all women have experienced dependent on the definition. While men were all collectively called 'rapists' by fanatic feminists today they're are all correctly called sexual harassers.  Masculinity is defined as 'toxic masculinity'.

The 'false memory syndrome' mental health epidemic lasted at most a couple of decades fueled principally by the 'legal lottery' and many good parents wanting to protect their children and finding as the military before them had, a good offence is the best defence.

As a family and marriage therapist I routinely saw that the 'key' was 'terms of reference' as 'who started' or 'who escalated' or 'who hit who' was never as clear as the comic strip media portrayed matters.  The fact remains there are likely a million books written about WWI with as wide variety of claims and explanations.  It's always easier to choose sides even if that is arbitrary. Standing in the middle or being moderate in any conflict usually guarantees that both the extreme right and extreme left attack you together.

Men in power and women in power would isolate and deny the problem reframing it as an individual concern rather than a systemic or Industry Wide or Nation Wide Epidemic. There's always more money in treating things individually and by sweeping matters under the rug. That this Sexual Mental Health Perversion has risen again in mere decades is cause for concern if only because it removes billions of dollars from positive advancement of society and transfers this energy and finances to the nefarious designs of the Legal Lottery.  Were this energy and money put into science, world poverty would have been cured and space ships would be on Mars.  Instead, like dogs and other animals we are inordinately interested in butts and genitalia.

The classic 'sexual harassment' study was called the 'water fountain' questionnaire. A questionnaire was drawn up with statements rated from "hello", to "would you like me to tie you up, spank you and have anal sex with you" range. Pictures of two groups of men were chosen, pictures from an Alaska men's calendar of firefighters I seem to recall, and a collection of pictures of 'dweebs' who were thought to be attractive to their mothers but likely none other. Finally a 'rank' was chosen for the men from office mail order clerk to millionaire CEO. The results of the study were that if you were a  millionaire CEO who looked like an Alaska Men's Calendar picture seriously nothing you could say would be deemed 'sexual harassment'.  However if you looked like a dweeb and worked in the mail room all you said including 'hello' was considered 'sexually harassing'.

Rather than be considered uniquely concerned about the 'extortion' and 'lies' and 'frank psychosis of untreated women" (especially those suffering 'retrospective falsification' eg he didn't marry me therefore he either raped or sexually harrassed me at least) the persecution of men and the destruction of families, reputations and careers,  untold number of men are in jail because of female psychopaths and sociopaths, I would argue that there is a secondary agenda associated with maintenance of 'class'.

Once I was involved with number of women who stalked men and were viciously angry and violent and extremely deceitful. One woman claiming a number of rapes put one man in jail through false accusation and caused another to be severely demoted and a third to leave Canada rather than face a costly trial with everything stacked against him. When she confessed there was no consequence for her except loss of the sexual weapon she'd wielded for years and certainly no compensation for the men whose lives she'd ruined.

Some interesting statistical facts are 1. Women abuse children more often than men
                                                          2.  In divorce 50% of DNA of children show the father (who is still obliged to pay for the cowbird child) is not the biological father, never a surprise to the mother, but very often devastating to men.
                                                          3. Women historically marry 'up'.  Sexual harassment claims are a powerful means to get back at men who refuse to do for women what they demand or feel entitled to regardless of the relationship
                                                           4. Men in business commonly described sexual extortion as a common phenomena.  Locally 'if you don't give me $1000 I'll say you sexually harassed me' was the standard 'shakedown' fee.  Lawyers described it as the 'cost of doing business' and explained to a large extent the decline of a set of jobs and preference for the safety of admitted more irascible computers and robot alternatives.  A Texas study of male and female 'teen' gangs showed that boys extorted business by 'threat of arson' or 'violence' whereas female teen gangs used 'sexual extortion' to collect money.
                                                           5. The list goes on and is often discussed on the MGTOW, "men going their own way", a Utube network, a privately funded resource that obviously can't compete with the publicly funded propaganda sources such as Women's and Gender Studies Programs at University and the radical Feminist biased program of some political parties and CBC the public television radio show.  It must be noted because of the early death of men from the stress of work and personal sacrifice for women and family, wives and children have gained the wealth of the now dead. Women protected from the workplace lived 10 years longer than their partner and now control the wealth of Canada though they principally and hypocritically allow other men predominantly to manage it. This alone explains the increasing political grovelling. When women and men do the exact same job, as exemplified by the horrible agricultural workplace, they die at the same age.
                                                         6. Today's modern woman is no longer a 'wilted flower' of Victorian 'damsel' as they are a principal consumer of pornography, politically correctly called 'erotica' though best selling Fifty Shades of Grey was more wicked than most of female pilloried Hugh Hefner Playboy 'outrage'. IF imitation isn't the sincerest form of flattery, single old women in fancy race cars sport young men 50 years their junior as lovers. Female executives in mainstream women's magazines even write about the need for male prostitutions services for them while on business trips. And in Vancouver an over 50 year old prostute wrote a mainstream article blaming men for her nightly income being one tenth the 20 year old girls and feeling entitled to income parity. Meanwhile French Parisian prostitutes marched collectively against the unionization of their industry and many do not perceive themselves as "fallen women" but rather express the chosen benefits of the 'oldest profession'.  Despite this 'diversity' of opinion feminists insist women are all victims and all women are oppressed by men despite the fact that 'behind any great man there was a great woman' and to date Eva Brawn, the women behind Hitler, continues to be coddled by feminists.

Obviously there are women who are raped and sexually harassed legitimately but their cases are seriously sidelined by the Herstaria Epidemic.  Having treated women who came from other countries and were raped hundreds of times I have met women here who insist that they were as seriously injured by an unwanted man's 'look' as a woman gang raped repeatedly.  Seriously, it is now common for women to say that their 'emotional abuse' is worse than 'sexual and physical abuse.' The key to understanding this is the pure subjectivity of this claim and the demand for public resources with countless counsellors and psychologists listening ad infinitum to what one culture calls the 'princess syndrome'.  It's no wonder that my patients shot and stabbed and raped can't get to see a psychiatrist or get follow up care outside of the hospital admission.

The following are some of the leading spokes persons addressing this issue.

Naomi Lakritz is an example of a local case but there is also the Ghomeshi 
case where hundreds of women claimed the courts were wrong.  
The main position of feminists is that women should be believed
 when they speak of sexual matters.
 Indeed a senior female bureaucrat stated , "women don't lie about sex' . 
This was the same claim actually spoken and written in the epidemic
 of sexually abused infants when it was said 'children don't lie about sex'.  
The fact is lying is a 'skill' childrenten commandments 
'thou shalt not bear false witness' is alongside 'thou shalt not murder'. 



Lakritiz discusses how men are collectively guilty of sexual harassment in the epidemic and panic

It is hoped eventually appropriate compensation
 will be made for the last Herstaria epidemic 
and that soon compensation will be made
 for the real victims of this Harstaria panic.  

Then hopefully to paraphrase Ellen Degeneris
 we can get back to comparing what cars we drive.
