Body Language expert commentary on Christine Blasey-Ford

I can’t vouch for the legitimacy of body language science, but I think this lady makes some good observations. I totally agree that, whether or not Dr. Ford was telling the truth, her croak voice testimony was very affected.

And what did the “body language expert” have to say about this?

I saw this before. She says nothing empirically provable. She sounds like a whiny cunt. Her other videos are more of the same republican supporting bullshit with her pseudoscientific background and 10,000 bots giving her thumbs up and comments like "this is so true - amazing!" when everyone basically agreed (INCLUDING TRUMP) that Ford was credible.

Fuck this bitch.

It's called "fry voice".

Just remember, there isn’t any reasonable person standard on how one reacts to sexual assault, and there’s probably also no reasonable person standard to how one reacts to being falsely accused of sexual assault.

Every Kavanaugh lie - one by one - broken down.

Long article but VERY comprehensive. he should be disbarred.

"And what did the “body language expert” have to say about this?"

With Kavanaugh, she'd have to be a bawdy language expert.

by Anonymousreply 9October 3, 2018 12:04 AM

Yeah, she has vocal fry. There is no correlation between vocal fry and lying. That's what I meant by "empirical evidence" at r5.

Also, the bullshit about her not "looking up to access her memory center" when she's trying to recall something is not reliable at all. You can access visual memories without looking up. So many morons are falling for this trash.

And "pretty pose" & making herself appear small can have an entirely different explanation from what the narrator of that horrid video claims. People who are insecure and nervous do the exact same thing.

2 million views on this video with the majority seeming to agree (if they're not bot votes) is disturbing.

Maybe Dr Ford and Kavanaugh are BOTH lying???

What are the credentials of this “body language expert” ? How often is she hired as a consultant, and by who? Has she published peer-reviewed paper, or books?

by Anonymousreply 13October 3, 2018 12:11 AM

I didn't read this report, but the thing that bothered me about the other "experts" I read reviewing her testimony, was that they all said her vocal fry was an attempt to lower her voice to match the many men in the room. But, I fail to see how vocal fry is lower or masculine, it sounds like high pitched baby talk to me, if a woman wants to lower her voice she should try to sound like Lauren Bacall, not this vocal fry shit, that makes it harder to take people seriously. I did find her credible, when listening to the whole testimony, but every time I hear snippets of her testimony that voice just grates on me, and makes me think of an immature teenager.

by Anonymousreply 14October 3, 2018 12:14 AM

She appeared on YouTube 2 weeks ago, R13- now she has 2 million views & people believing this BS. She has not given her name or any credentials. That's how things are now.

by Anonymousreply 15October 3, 2018 12:15 AM

No, r15, she's been posting crap on youtube that gets crossposted to places like AboveTopSecret and r/TheDonald for several years. The LipStickAlley loons love her almost as much as they love their yt "psychics".

Oh apparently her name is Mandy O'Brien. Then there's this:

She was kicked off of youtube for bullying children who survived the Parkland shooting.

I just realized how atrocious her grammar is in the excerpt I posted at R17. Not believing anything she has to say anyway, but that was the icing on the shitcake.

I used to watch her vids until I figured out her biases, her ignorance and that she was popular.

by Anonymousreply 26October 3, 2018 2:03 AM

Is that vocal fry, though? It just sounded like a very young, squeaky voice. There is a theory out there that women who are sexually abused when they are young tend toward high voices and their voice stays locked at the age they were attacked. She sounded about fifteen to me.

by Anonymousreply 27October 3, 2018 3:01 AM

R27 I didn't think it sounded like vocal fry, either, but all the experts that were commenting on her testimony across the partisan landscape seemed to agree that it was vocal fry. The one thing that kept going through my head was that it must suck being one of her students. I actually had a professor that talked like that and I dropped the class after about 15 min.

by Anonymousreply 28October 3, 2018 3:08 AM

I'm going to be honest,even if there are problems with this woman, Kavanaugh is simply unfit for office. We don't need another rage filled, embittered Irish American in a place of power.

by Anonymousreply 29October 3, 2018 6:24 AM

OK, so I just watched part of OP's video. What the fuck was that? This "expert" is just taking anything Ford is doing and giving it a negative connotation based on completely fleeting glances at her appearance and demeanor. Any other "expert" could do the complete opposite and give it a positive connotation in the alternative. Also, nothing this "expert" is saying has any sort of professional terminology intermingled with her creepy satanic NPR voice. She keeps going from "defiant" to "pretty pose" to "little and small," I'm 17 min in and she just keeps describing her body language in completely generic terms and then using a negative tone to convey it negatively, without actually telling us why she thinks it's negative. Methinks this expert is just some stupid chunky half-educated frau who's labeled herself an "expert" when she is none in fact. And I'm not saying the gal is incorrect necessarily, as I am certainly not a body language expert so I can't really provide a better assessment. But I don't believe for one second the woman narrating this has any clue as to what she's actually saying. The whole criticism of her voice and crunching her neck down to get croaky . . . well could it just be her actual voice and that she's reading and needs to look down to read? I mean, it's Congress, I can't say I'd fare much better in front of them. I can do that, "Here she does peacock, and it makes her look grandiose which is untrustworthy. What a stupid liar." Hmmmmm, maybe I'm now a body language expert too.

by Anonymousreply 30October 3, 2018 10:01 AM

'Body language analysis' is right up there with graphology and palmistry in terms of its credibility.

Christine Blasey Ford has lived a long time in California, which no doubt accounts for the vocal fry. She just sounded like a nervous woman from the west coast to me.

by Anonymousreply 31October 3, 2018 10:12 AM

[quote]The one thing that kept going through my head was that it must suck being one of her students.

Well, in all fairness, she’s being questioned on national TV in the presence of a group of angry, intolerant white dudes that were born in the early 1900s about an extremely traumatic experience after being forced to move from her home because of death threats from Trump supporters.

I mean...her voice might be a little different in her own environment. I would consider that vocal fry tho, but I give no credence to scientific theories on what that represents in a person.

by Anonymousreply 32October 3, 2018 10:29 AM

Kavanaugh is a perfectionist (look at the carefully groomed hair). He's such a workaholic he never cultivated relationships. He was sobbing and yelling because people were trying to say he wasn't The Best Little Boy In The World. He drinks to ease the gnawing feelings of being imperfect. All humans are imperfect- but not him. He got into YALE!

by Anonymousreply 33October 3, 2018 10:32 AM

I didn't notice anything weird about her voice and I wasn't irritated by any aspect of it. It seems as though women's literal voices have been demonized in the cultural conversation. Where's the male "vocal fry"?

There’s no male version. “Vocal fry” is just a Kardashian backlash.

[quote][R33], he barely graduated college with a 2.0. That's no perfectionist.

Well, I’m assuming that his GPA is because of all the drinking and raping and not actually applying himself.

by Anonymousreply 37October 3, 2018 10:59 AM

r37 right and "applying oneself" is something that perfectionists do. Thus, we can deduce: he is not a perfectionist.
