There are some interesting combinations here: women with big fannies don't like small dicks; men with small dicks like tight fannies; tight fannies like medium sized dicks; medium sized dicks just take what they can get. Everybody's happy.

I just disagreed with your method and I think small dick syndrome and projection took over from there.

Survivial methods are precisely that. They help survival. They have no right or wrong about them.

Mmmnnn.....that doesn't sound like the viewpoint of a child. That sounds like an older person speaking.
As to accepting "it is not normal": however painful that might be at the time, it may be the less painful option in the long run.
Evensong, please show me where either Curiosity or I suggested we should normalise sexual abuse? I think you might struggle with that one.
What we've been trying to say is that the demonisation of abusers and simplistic horrified self-righteous indignation is counter-productive. Mainly because it is.
However, if insulting me makes you feel better then please feel free to carry on.

Loquacious, I enjoy a good popcorn-eating Hell thread as much as the next alien and whilst Evensong has displayed pseudo-Troll* behaviour, I feel your comments are inappropriate.
The topic under debate here is extremely sensitive and...

So, I'm sorry for the lack of entertainment but I think you're on the wrong thread for that.

Ummmm - maybe there is another reason why I find Evensong's Hell calls in general and this one in particular to be tedious, annoying, and almost completely pointless.

Loquacious beachcomber, Hell threads are not here to entertain you. In fact, Sioni Sais as the newest Hell host is asking Purgatorial discussion gets taken to Purgatory. If you really want your own Hell thread, I'm sure someone will oblige.
And Evensong obviously hadn't got an argument back here. She's just attention seeking. So long as it's all about her ...

Not one thing I said above had anything to do with Purgatory discussions, so I am certain Sioni wasn't talking to me - okay?

I did better than that on this one, Moo; I got Curiosity Killed... alienfromzog and Evensong to agree on something, perhaps thereby allowing the thread to be closed!

I've been offline for best part of a week and I realise this hell call has moved on somewhat.
Nevertheless I have been pondering it and still felt inclined to tell Evensong she is talking out of her arse.
Evensong – the demonising of or hysteria (whatever you want to call it) about perpetrators of abuse is counter productive because:-
a) Demonising makes the abuser appear as ‘other’ and not ‘normal.’ Most abuse happens within families, who can fail to see that their ‘normal’ father/brother/uncle/insert relative of choice and not necessarily male, can possibly be an abuser because s/he is so ‘normal.’ Which may actually then create an environment where abuse can flourish.
b) Families are complicated organisms, which have complicated relationships, and the family will have complicated feelings about what is going on and about both the victim and abuser. Feelings they can have difficulty dealing with and coming to terms with, they won’t be able to reconcile their loved relative, with the idea of the abuser they will have internalised from the press, and may well not see what he does as the same as what they see in the press.
This sort of things you are talking about made it harder for me not easier, when I disclosed to my family that I had been abused by a relative. The wider family did actually believe me but instead of looking to help me, they were instantly looking to protect him from the sort of hysteria and demonization that we have seen in the press. Their concern was that he would be ‘picked up by the police, every time there was a sex crime,’ and it must be kept quiet so that HE did not suffer from the sort of pack mentality situations that we have seen in the press.
People need to hear and understand that abusers are normal looking people, who live apparently normal lives, doing normal things. The probably won’t look weird but will be indistinguishable from any body else.
If you really want to help victims go and talk to them and do some SERIOUS research – don’t just jump in with what appears from here to be from your own reactions to what happens.
Don’t bother coming back to quote some seminars you have been to, you obviously haven’t done enough research, as you are showing yourself up as knowing jack shit about it.

Cop out evensong.
I have never been able to decide whether you are a troll, one of those people who are book clever but people stupid, just like the sound of your own voice, or are so inflexible in thinking you can’t take in new ideas.
Whichever way, it doesn’t matter because you are trouble maker, and I am going to return to my usual policy of ignoring you because you talk a lot of bollocks.

Thanks dark knight - I am ok, now, I am a surviver.
At the risk of being unhellish, I worry that attitudes like evensongs, lead to people seeing abusers as 'some wierdo that is out there somewhere'.
Then they keep their kids locked up inside to keep them 'safe' when reality they may be locking their kids up with their abusers...

That's what this thread was about, although it quickly wandered off into other areas.
Listening to pop songs of the 60s and 70s, so many of them sang about 'little girl' as the endearment of choice.
This bothers me since the Jimmy Saville horrors.
But (I hope) I'm just over-thinking it.

Not in all cases. One song referred to upthread from that era was quite explicit: Young Girl by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. Not only do the lyrics describe the girl in question as "just a baby in disguise", but it puts the responsibility on the girl for whatever happens 'cause he just can't resist if she hangs around.
Corrected code.

But you did read the bit where Zacchaeus said his/her family believed him/her but didn't help him? Because they were too busy trying to protect the abuser from an hysterial reaction? That would seem to be the crucial part of that paragraph.

This brings in the broader issue about male sexuality and the inability of a fair proportion of men [but not all] to think with anything other than their dick - it is ALWAYS the fault of the victim, they obviously acted so provocatively.
The other approach is that of the disconnected penis - it was the dick that did it! Again the man is not responsible.
It is pure bollocks, of course, but it is not confined to just men that abuse.

Fuck that shit.
For the love of Christ, Evensong, have you never heard of empathy or compassion? Z has been through hell. You're an alleged follower of Christ, to the point that you've actually been to college about it, or something.
Was it completely beyond you to just say something along the lines of 'I'm so sorry' and leave it at that??
I never knew that apologising was so fucking difficult. You make my ex-husband look sensitive, and that's crazy shit.

Define working.
Working as in changing Evensong's mind? Who knows. She's not going to admit being wrong, that's not part of her Ship's persona*
Working as in allowing those Shipmates who want to make clear they don't share her views? Maybe acting as a safety valve for others.
Working as in signalling to other Shipmates that Evensong is found irritating and self-obsessed by others on the Ship?
Working as in providing a thread that really is all about Evensong so she doesn't feel the need to take over yet another Hell thread? Acting as containment?
* optimistic I know - but there's always the hope that her Ship postings reflect a deliberately provocative persona

What would you say the desired effect was, out of curiosity?

It reminds me of this party political poster from the late 70s. It's not working on so many levels.

Well as I accept, that evensong will never admit, that view other than her own might be valid, the desired effect for me is that others might see she really doesn’t know what she is talking about.
However I don’t know how we can ever judge whether my desired effect has worked or not..
What is your desired effect then DM?

It seemed a fairly simple question. Is your evasion due to the fact that that you don't know, or you won't say?

When I said "desired affect" I meant that the thread is not affecting Evensong (i.e. influencing behavioural change) positively. It isn't working. It is an ineffective thread. The rule is 'e’ for result and cause, and ‘a’ for influence and response.

No. "Affect" as a noun means "emotion."

Hmm. Perhaps. Anyway. My point is that the thread isn't making Evensong change.

Very few Hell calls do. And Evensong has already had her share and then some.
