Pretty ####ty of you to laugh at that. Even if we don't account for 'date rape' drugs or alcohol, there's still a well documented link between traumatic experience and memory loss.

The brain’s fear circuitry also alters the functioning of a third key brain area, the hippocampus. The hippocampus encodes experiences into short-term memory and can store them as long-term memories. Fear impairs the ability of the hippocampus to encode and store “contextual information,” like the layout of the room where the rape happened. Fear also impairs its ability to encode time sequencing information, like whether the perpetrator ripped off a shirt before or after saying “you want this.”

The Acute Stage
This stage occurs immediately after the assault. It may last a few days to several weeks. During this stage the victim may:- seem agitated or hysterical or s/he may appear totally calm (a sign that s/he could be in shock)
- have crying spells and anxiety attacks
- have difficulty concentrating, making decisions, and doing simple, everyday tasks
- show little emotion, act as though numb or stunned
- have poor recall of the rape or other memories
