Flashback to the 90s: Before rape hysteria, there was satanic ritual abuse hysteria

Incredible that anyone would believe such ridiculous, melodramatic tripe. Lot of dumbasses out there, and they're allowed on juries.

Note the similarities to the supposed "rape epidemic" we have today.

Oh lordy do I remember this. And yes, the two things taste very similar.

This stuff was one of the main reasons I eventually became an MRA.

I mean , I was a teenager at the time but as soon as I heard these stories it was perfectly obvious that it was all complete bullshit. Come on, how does a baby get murdered at a daycare without somebody noticing ? All of it was so ridiculously unbelievable and yet the courts were STILL putting people in prison for it.

You might believe it was possible in one place at one time. By the time it was all said and done , hundreds of people had been accused of some of the most implausible crimes imaginable. That was when I learned to recognize hysteria when I was in the midst of it.

A lot of people don't realize it but it was precisely because of this false pandemic that the war on fathers took root so deeply in our culture. It was because of all these supposed Satanic cults running kindergartens that people started to believe that any man near a kid was just waiting for a minute alone with him or her.

A lot of our troubles , as males , actually kicked off in large part because of this witch hunt.

Remember in the 80's it was drug hysteria? I remember my minimum sitting me down in like 2nd grade fort like an hour grilling me on if I had heard of anyone pushing little pieces of paper with cartoon characters on the playground. Back then I thought she was crazy. Now I see she was just caught up in the hysteria.

This is good stuff. Both of these things almost never happen, but false accusations of them happen (or happened) all the fucking time.
