She was contacted by the New York Times, she didn't contact them. Can you see the difference? The New York Times contacted a rape victim and she didn't immediately spill every single detail to them so she's lying??

What right do they have asking her anything of that nature at all? Not a doctor or a therapist, the freaking New York Times.

Rape is traumatic. Talking about it is traumatic. Being accused of lying about it is traumatic. Having it splashed all over the internet is traumatic, especially when it includes vile accusations and disbelief.

This stupid highlighted snippet means nothing.
