This strikes me as invidious, an effort to silence. Perhaps I misjudge, so I'll respond in good faith: your prior interlocutor attributes to women what is in fact a common trait of people who've previously been abused.
The misattribution is common; women more often come in for sexual abuse on the one hand, and on the other benefit from much more space in the social narrative to exist as survivors thereof. Men who have been similarly abused tend to respond differently, for that and other reasons.
- grvdrm 2y agoI'll respond in good faith too: note that I said "anecdote" - maybe I should have said something like "exclusively personal experience" I thought the OP (in comments) was quite authoritative and confident but without much evidence/support for making such a statement.

- throwanem 2y agoDon't you think that's rather bold? - to call someone out on an unsupported assertion, in the very same breath as you say "and no it isn't, probably!"
