This essay examines how disability interacts with gender in public discourse about sexual violence by investigating the ableist implications of two popular labels commonly applied to people who have experienced rape or sexual assault: survivors and liars. Using a rhetorical approach in conjunction with disability theory, I analyze how discourses of compulsory survivorship ask people who experience sexual assault to overcome disability and appear nondisabled, whereas rape‐hoax narratives frame others as mentally ill, mad, or irrational. Taken together, I argue, these frameworks form a discursive paradox for people who experience sexual assault, specifically marking their mental fitness and placing them in a rhetorically impossible situation when attempting to disclose sexual assault. Demonstrating how these frameworks silence articulations of pain and the realities of mental illness that can result from sexual trauma brings debates about mental disability and pain more centrally into disability studies through a feminist lens.

E. A. (2006). Comparison of comparative yield and stubble height for estimating herbage standing crop in annual rangelands. Rangeland Ecology & Management, 59(4), 438-441.

We compared calibration equations for estimating herbage standing crop (HSC) from comparative yield (CY) rank or stubble height (SH) to determine 1) if CY rank is a better estimator than SH of standing crop, 2) if addition of SH to CY rank will improve the estimation of standing crop, 3) if there is a seasonal effect on CY rank or SH, and 4) if botanical composition influences the prediction of HSC from CY. The results of this study indicate that CY is a slightly better predictor of HSC than is SH. Addition of SH to CY did not improve the prediction of HSC. Models that predict HSC from CY in summer were weaker than models for winter, early spring, and late spring. Thus the CY method can be used with confidence throughout the year. The presence of filaree (Erodium cicutarium L.) in winter and early spring resulted in steeper calibration equations than were present in nonfilaree quadrats. ResumenComparamos ecuaciones de calibració n para estimar la biomasa en pie (HSC) a partir de los método de rendimiento comparativo por clases (CY) o la altura del rastrojo (SH) para determinar: (1) si el rendimiento comparativo por clases (CY) es un mejor estimador de la biomasa que la altura del rastrojo (SH); (2) si la adició n de la altura del rastrojo SH a el rendimiento comparativo por clases mejoraría la estimació n de la biomasa y (3) si hay un efecto estacional sobre el rendimiento comparativo por clase (CY) o la altura del rastrojo (SH) y (4) si la composició n botá nica influye la predicció n de la biomasa (HSC) a partir del rendimiento comparativo por clases (CY). Los resultados de este estudio indican que CY es un estimador de la biomasa ligeramente mejor que la SH. La adició n de la SH a CY no mejoró la predicció n de HSC. Los modelos que predicen la HSC a partir de CY en verano fueron mas débiles que los modelos para invierno, inicios de primavera y finales de primavera, por lo tanto, el método de CY puede ser usado con confianza a lo largo del añ o. La presencia de ''Filaree'' (Erodium cicutarium L.) en invierno e inicio de primavera resultó en ecuaciones de calibració n mas precisas que las obtenidas de los cuadrantes sin ''Filaree.''
