Anonymous asked: Notice how CBer's are patting themselves on the back for believing Asia Argento's victim and still being good feminists? I think they're aware of this site...

Ok, that one is a shocker. I do think, though, that a victim of abuse can also become an abuser, as abuse gets internalized. Though, I would say it seems to be usually the case with abuse sustained over a period of time, such as domestic abuse. I was a bit taken aback that a couple of CB posters were  very offended by this observation.

In fact, this is why abuse is so awful -  it not only damages the direct victim, but also people close to the victim and also can create a cycle of abuse and many victims down the line.
