This made me wonder about the connection between those abused boys turning into men and the state of women in that society.

I'd also like to know if anyone delved further into this topic and investigated how their lives look like after they reach adulthood. Do they join the Taliban? Do they learn empathy because of their abuse?

A psychological study on these abused children (because their abuse was accepted by society) would be so interesting.

Besides that I coincidentally started watching a documentary about some children who grew up in the sex cult "The Family International". It's very interesting.

Abused children, boys and girls, grow up to become broken adults.

This docu reminded me of that pic with the little girl surrounded by men in kink gear. Many replies to that pic on twitter said she doesn't understand anyway. Yet here are some people who were exposed to sexual acts as children and they are obviously still traumatized.

Abused children, boys and girls, grow up to become broken adults.

But how often do adult female survivors become aggressors instead of simply reliving their trauma or languishing in learned helplessness? It seems like suffering just lowers compassion in general regardless of gender or type of abuse. A lot of people think of submissive people as overly caring, but the opposite is true -- they don't care at all that they are being treated unfairly because they lack the concepts of respect or dignity. This is especially true for submissive/masochistic females.

I notice a lot of sadists are also masochists. Submission and/or masochism are really symptoms of feminine psychopathy. They should be considered to be just as pathological as dominance.

And most importantly, they make shitty mothers. I know that from experience. My childhood was pretty much the same (re mother wanting an abortion, then being thrown around relatives, eventually ending up with her and being severely abused, not specific acts of abuse) as that of Gabriel Fernandez.

Now that I am an adult I understand my mother was deeply wounded herself, and didn't know how to care for herself either. But knowing that does not really help.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Hope you are well nowadays.

Thank you, I appreciate the sentiment. I'm a lot better than I used to be, but I'm still not normal.
