Wench, I didn’t mean exclusively paedophiles, or even at all. I was referring primarily to physical abuse, also emotional and yes sexual. I think on reflection that your paedophiles were being disingenous, because the kind of ‘abuser-created-by-abuse’ personality I’m referring to would NEVER try to excuse themselves on the grounds of past abuse. They would be trying desperately to justify their abusers’ actions and would not believe that they had been mistreated. Still I believe that there may have been less concrete abuse in their past, particularly emotional for which the evidence is less obvious. Again, sexual abuse wasn’t what I was thinking of in the beginning. But see http://www.alice-miller.com/index_en.php for a more intelligent explanation of my logic.

And yes… I killed the funny. Sorry guys, it’s just a topic that resonates pretty deeply with me.

But there’s definitely a link there somewhere.

Let me break it down for you;

Runaway girls often end up being exploited by the adult film industry.
Women in the adult film industry were often abused as children.
Daisy feels she is being mistreated by being asked to tidy her room.
Randy is satirising Daisy’s unreasonable feelings of victomhood by comparing Daisy’s perceived mistreatement with the genuine mistreatment suffered by many other children.

Randy was a little indelicate. You, however, have some part of your brain wired wrong if seeing a joke on an internet comment feed awakens a desire to kill. Please seek help, before one day you accidentally catch sight of a comic book in a supermarket and go on a rampage or something.

Another interesting read: “Long-Term Consequences of Childhood Physical Abuse” Note page 75, which states, “In regard to familial violence, it is estimated that approximately 30% (±5%) of physically abused or neglected individuals abuse their own children (Kaufman & Zigler, 1987; Widom, 1989).

There is much more research that could be cited, but I am willing to revise my claim from “Most abusers…” to “Many abusers…” if we can also agree to dispell the notion that the familial cycle of child abuse is “actually a myth.”
