You are entitled to that opinion. How a twelve year old handles sexual abuse would be different than that of a grown woman. That initial reaction probably would determine whether she ever reported it or when she would report it. Abusers are very adept at making victims feel guilty and responsible for their abuse. This will keep some silent for many years.

I should make clear I am not one of those “Women never lie about abuse” people. Women lie plenty and are probably better at it than men because we has a society have been told to doubt them is some great mutual sin. My argument was and remains, “Who a woman is now should have no bearing on how we judge allegations of what happened to her when she was a child.”

For courtesy I think it better we not discuss the Dushku post on this thread.
