> most victims of CSA don't fully understand what is happening
Most victims of CSA are minors. No wait: all of them. CSA is a crime precisely because the victims are not able to understand what happens to them and not able to react appropriately. That's the distinction between minors and adults.
- squigz 1y agoSo something can be wrong, even if the victims don't realize it's wrong until some time later?
- throw310822 1y agoYes, minors are expected to be unable to understand, especially in regards to sex. Adults are considered able to navigate sex & relationships and should take responsibility for what they do and what they don't do. There might be exceptional cases (e.g. cults) but I still think that public accusations of abusive behaviour in adult relationships, when they come with such delay, should be put under the utmost scrutiny.
