Ah the old any other opinion is mental defect
- vidarh 4y agoNo, a description of why personal anecdotes from victims of violence often contradict the total absence of data showing the purported benefits often used by said victims to try to justify and make sense of the abuse they were subjected to. If there were data showing improved outcomes among this group compared to those not subjected to violence, there'd be reason to listen to their accounts, but since there isn't independent evidence to support these claims, and it's not a controlled sample, their anecdotes have little value.
