True scientists do not aggrandize their subject matter through the use of hyperbole. The fact that Puppy says this about Dr. Harley raises my skepticism about the reliability of information from your source:
Quote:
I think it was Steven W. Harley that, in his speeches on infidelity, compares it to gang rape, saying that it's actually WORSE. The argument he makes is that at least in the case of most rapes, the attacker is a stranger, whereas in infidelity, the person hurting you is the one who swore to LOVE you, and to forsake all others for.
This is demeaning and belittling to anyone who has been a victim of the violent crime that rape is.
Nor do they back up their statements with one anecdotal incident and consider that adequate support for bold, reaching statements:
Quote:
I believe he actually had a woman come up to him after one of his speeches, and tearfully share with him that she HAD been gang-raped, and she had also been the victim of her husband's cheating, and she agreed with him -- this was worse.
Could Harley be an internet relationship guru or pop psychologist, and not a serious researcher with tested theories?
