#RapeCULTure #AbuseCULTure

The raped woman was not a perfect victim, you know. She did unwise things. She abused substances. She trusted people she shouldn't have trusted. This makes her at fault for her brutalization in many minds-which suggests to me that, in many minds, bodily autonomy is only for certain types of people, and predation upon other people is something deemed permissible for certain types of people to do to certain other types of people who can open themselves to being permissibly predated upon, simply by not being the right kind of person, or by not making the right sorts of choices.

Meanwhile we're told that the Cornell case raises disturbing questions, and I suppose it does. Those would be questions like "what sort of men would gang-rape expecting total impunity, what sort of organization would attract such men and offer such impunity, what sort of institution would recruit and shelter such an organization, what sort of nation would revere the traditions of such an organization, such an institution, and would protect such men?"

But I don't think that it's the questions raised that disturb. Rather, I think what people are responding to about this story is that it raises disturbing answers.

I dreamed last night that someone offered me $18k to write the "sequel" to Recovering Agency.

Which would be my book on abuse culture.

Yeah, I could write it for that.

See. This is why I hedged so much about my first post.

Y'all ain't as ready for revolution as you say.

I'm not even as ready as I say.

The Christian idea of a martyr is when your god demands a human sacrifice, but wants it it to be his own follower instead of an outsider.

That's what makes it ok.

And then, society doesn’t believe us? Like, it’s not some conspiracy?

And because they’ve been allowed to denigrate us for centuries sans consequence they are now openly oppressing us and others – including more ‘important’ folks.

Society is sick, abusive and full of shit.

Sometimes I think that YHWH might be real, but that...

1. He's not the only god, and
2. He's a right bastard.

(And this is why we need the word "extrospection" as separate from "empathy." We need to understand the minds of people we *can't* and *shouldn't* empathize with.)

Society really 🖤s to label normal reactions to crappy situations as ‘mental illnesses’.

It’s just more #AbuseCULTure.

Perfectionism as a lifestyle didn't just come from nothing. Americans 200 years ago wrote about and prompted these as ideals.

I'm sure these attitudes share a common ancestor.

I hope someone with credentials somewhere is connecting the dots.

This thread is describing some of the mechanisms of what I call "abuse culture." It's how we all get involved in supporting those who exploit and abuse over those who need our nurturing and protection.

"Burnout" as an insult is an example of abuse culture — societal DARVO that we were conditioned to accept without question.
