1. It doesn't even have to be sex assault and memory

I began thinking about things I remember well from high school. I remember the actual event but not necessarily details of the event. One was a car accident where I was a passenger. No one was hurt badly but I had never been in a car accident before so it stays pretty well in my memory. But if I were asked, when was that accident? I don't remember. I don't remember the year for sure but I might have been 15yrs old so I could guess. I certainly would never remember what month it was. What kind of car was it? No clue. None. I remember who was driving but can't be sure who the other passengers were.

So dipshits like Lindsey Graham implying that Dr. Ford might not be credible because she doesn't remember exactly when the attack took place or what house it took place in is bullshit.

segment, Patti Davis (Reagan's daughter) explained how it's common for people to not remember certain details of a traumatic event such as the date, month and place. Yet she said other aspects are very clear, in her case the smell of the man, the feeling of the leather sofa she was on, etc. when sexually assaulted.
Your not recalling facts around a car accident is clearly normal behavior.
