So here’s my perspective, as somebody who took many years of struggle and therapy to come to grips with the idea that I was abused and raped by a romantic partner:
For the person from the position of power, or a third party, you don’t get to decide the reality of the person experiencing the suffering. For the person it’s happening to - whatever their suffering is, it’s valid and real. That doesn’t belittle someone who has experienced worse. Everyone has their personal struggles. We’d all do better to consider other people’s experiences as valid and come at disagreements from a desire to learn and care.
Arguing for the sake of arguing is furiously jacking off your privilege boner for no real progress or useful outcome, other than feeling superior to someone lesser than you.
I have no earthly idea the context of why you’re asking though.
Most of you would rather get mad at me for not taking this as a self evident truth, instead of just explaining it to me. That’s interesting.
Who are you?
Ah, the eternal question.
The eternal answer : “I don’t know”.

Oh the hatred. It’s like gravy on my fries.
You moderns really know how to persecute the unbelievers.
Surely we can explore this subject. Surely.
Hey, are you doing okay?
That. That is a rare and delicious reply. Thank you very much.
