    The Culture of Victimhood

    Hi hi! :) I like how your husband thinks. I think the thing I take away from "victim" is that it's nuanced. I'm going to use a scenario because I can't think of a way to explain further. A woman gets raped. She's a victim in the moment. She stops being an active victim once the rape stops...

    It's all good man. We cool? I'm cool if you're cool :) Legit, I gotta get off here. I'm breaking my "no debate at home, only work" rule. :/ Have a good night sir. :)

    The Culture of Victimhood

    I thought I replied to this but I didn't. I want to ask a couple of things here, all bolded. You're using a lot of generalizations here. Tori Amos created RAINN because she was raped. By your definition of "real victims do not present their victimhood as a virtue", does that mean that Tori...

    The Culture of Victimhood

    Got it. I took what he said as not so much just on you, but in general. And I would agree with him. There are some people who think you just take whatever happens on the chin and move on. You don't look back you don't dwell you don't even give it a second thought. But since you seem to be at...

    The Culture of Victimhood

    So first, let's get a few things out of the way. #1, There are two fallacies that you like to throw out here, I'm going to call both of them out. #1 - No True Scottsman - a victim is a victim, regardless of what they do with said victimization. #2 - stop using the appeal to authority. Saying "If...

    Man, you people on here really aren't the friendly-joking sorts are you? I've gotta keep that in mind. I frequently throw in personal (either of us) little jokes here and there. Sometimes they're a terrible stab at humor (I'll throw this one on that pile) and sometimes they're actually great...

    Nothing you've said here disputes his points. His statements are correct, and are backed up by your own anecdotal proof of your friend.

    The Culture of Victimhood

    You're referring to Hermes, Angel, I don't give a **** either way. You're referring in some fashion to, as you said, Hermes Trismegistus. My point still stands. BTW - Trismegistus means "thrice-greatest". I know Hermes Trismegistus quite well because I'm fascinated with all things religion and...

    The Culture of Victimhood

    It's almost like victims are individuals who can choose how they react to their victimization. I know this may shock you but just because someone calls themselves a "survivor" doesn't mean that they aren't also victims. Maybe instead of telling people how they should handle the bad acts that...

    The Culture of Victimhood

    Someone should really point out to him that the guy he named himself after (Angel Trismegistus) is generally condemned within certain sects of Christianity for worshiping false idols and being an occult religion. LOL (Being fair to him, his denomination may not feel that way... Then again most...

    The Culture of Victimhood

    To OP, a simple yes or no: An LGBT individual who is beaten up by a group of men strictly for being LGBT is a victim *in your fevered opinion*? A woman who has her chest grabbed while at work by a colleague who she has no sexual interest in is a victim *in your fevered opinion*? A white man is...

    Good for you. Want a cookie or what? If you're a "regular guy" then I guess you've never been victimized, which means you literally have no concept of what it means to be victimized. If you have been, share. Not all of us think only of ourselves as victims. Victims are all around us and come...
