505 0  Along axes of power: workings of the credibility complex -
       - Of perfect victims and monster abusers: how myths 
       distort our credibility judgments -- Whose truth?: how 
       victims are distrusted -- Blame-shifting: how victims are 
       faulted -- The care gap: how victims are disregarded -- 
       "Even worse": why the credibility complex harms victims --
       Beyond belief: when survivors matter. 
520    Sexual misconduct accusations spark competing claims: her 
       word against his. How do we decide who is telling the 
       truth? The answer comes down to credibility. But as this 
       book reveals, invisible forces warp the credibility 
       judgments of even the well-intentioned among us. We are 
       all shaped by a set of false assumptions and hidden biases
       embedded in our culture, our legal system, and our 
       psyches. The #MeToo movement has exposed how victims have 
       been badly served by a system that is designed not to 
       protect them, but instead to protect the status quo.
