Nancy Pelosi's brother dodged a child rape charge in 1953 while their father was mayor of Baltimore. He was tried in a youth court. The media called him “dark & handsome”. Motherfucker was TWENTY YEARS OLD. The girls were ELEVEN and THIRTEEN. He was the only defendant out of 16 to go free.

So, let's blame the rape victims instead of the powerful people who hurt them. Real nice there! Totally punching down and bullying the little guy.

Why is the automatic impulse not to punch up on the powerful? The ones who literally get away with rape and murder?

It's not victim blaming at all and it is a thought terminating cliche to pretend it is.

Instead, it is acknowledging the real cycle of sexual abuse and how lack of effective mental health and sexual abuse trauma treatment leads to a cycle of more sexual abuse and risky behavior.

This pattern of seeking older men is still difficult to prevent, even with all the counseling, mental health programs, advocacy, in-patient treatments, and medications available, as well as close police support, safety monitoring, and aggressively pursuing criminal charges resulting in putting multiple predatory old men in prison for 5+ years, I've found. Teenagers with trauma and/or mental health issues are a difficult challenge, with lacking resources, legal barriers, and authority limitations that feel pretty limited to a parent. It is the confusing and counter-intuitive seeking of the same dangerous situations that seem the most troubling.

It's blaming the victim instead of the powerful men who sexually abuse them and it's disgusting. Stop doing it.

I'm not blaming anyone, just stating general observed facts relevant to the comment I replied to, unfortunately, from the expert perspective of a parent.

Stop being disingenuous and using emotional tricks to try to censor the topic.

Nobody's doing any censorship. It's literally impossible. I'm saying stop blaming the victim, is that really so hard? Direct your attacks at the powerful people who are pieces of shit. That should come naturally if you're a real person. We all hate the powerful, they hurt us all the time.

I've never blamed the victim. Please stop saying I did and leave me alone.
