> am I not allowed to hold an opinion on whether what I thought was done to me was a "terrible thing" or not? You are, but you have done more than that, namely to minimize the experiences of others. When someone says, "I, for one don't mind", they typically want to use that to determine what the actions of others or accepted social mores ought to be. There's no problem with saying you don't mind (and merely that), but that doesn't mean you weren't grievously harmed, whether you realize it or not. Moreover, such an observation carries such exceedingly little weight wrt the broader issue, that it hardly seems worth mentioning.
