I wasn't raised in that culture? After it happened everyone was very hush-hush about it, nobody talked to me, nothing bad happened to my abuser (my mom just didn't allow me alone with him). We were raised in a sexually repressed patriarchal cult where I didn't know I had a vagina
Sure! I'm not saying you shouldn't say it; I understand this is coming out of your feelings about it. I just wanted to use it to illustrate what I meant when I was talking about cultural pressure.

but abuse is abuse — an adult molesting an 8 year-old girl is wrong and the abusers got away with it (as they always do) the injustice infuriates me and I guess that matters more to me than any cultural/societal pressure to do or think a certain way about it

I'm talking more concretely. Like in terms of the law.
