I have become desensitized by the frequent accusations of “abuse” these days. Too many in current society view any form of discipline as abuse.
Same here. Additionally the accusation is thrown around so predictably for anyone someone else wants to destroy or take revenge on, that it's become almost meaningless.
Plus, accusations are simply allegations, not set in stone fact.

Moreover, it occurs to me that you could literally accuse ANY group of people of “hidden abuse” in the sense that we all do things we are ashamed of (or should be ashamed of) in our treatment of others, and prefer that it not come to light. It really tells us nothing about how the group in question compares to the rest of the human race.
And they claim ‘words’ are violence!
