I do not have time to beat up all the people who need beating up. Especially in the holiday season. But this one--victim implies a lack of will to move on--I will make the time for.
I just... Goddamn motherfucking ignorant selfish privileged asshole. I cannot even say how much that statement (and the entire post) chills and frightens me. I'm very sorry I didn't respond properly to my abuse so that I could become a "survivor" instead of a "victim."
The simple idea that there's a "survivor" vs "victim" thing made me want to put my fist through the an entire litter of cats. The idea that if you were just *good enough and strong enough* you would deal with whatever your situation is ALL ON YOUR OWN is the exact reason so many people end up dealing with things in a way that is so destructive and that there are so few resources that are effective for victims.
The whole post was like "judge a little more, why don't you?" How the hell are we supposed to get people to come for help when they fear they're going to get called a victim and further shamed? I mean, what's the cutoff point on that victim/survivor thing? A day? An incident? A week, a month, a year? grr.
Okay. I'm breathing. I'm remembering I have friends and coworkers who help. The world is not full of people like that.
