Tell me, do you also think women are only victims of their abusers once they leave too or is that criticism reserved only for people who are abused on a larger scale by their entire community?

If they help other women getting raped or harass other victims of the rapist then yes, they're part of the problem. But it's a bad faith argument anyway, so thanks for proving my point. Just like you calling Scientology a religion instead of a cult. I think that was a wonderful end for this comment chain.

Frankly I use religion and cult interchangeably, there's not much difference. The main separation is age, really. That means yes I often refer to say, Catholicism, as a cult as well.

(Edit: And btw, I referred to Masterson's victim's unknown religions as "religions," not "Scientology." If some of them are scientologists then I suppose I technically did by happenstance, but you pretending you didn't understand that just because you don't want to concede that I'm actually right and use it as a personal attack is pretty funny.)

You can just say you have no idea what it's like to be seriously abused and move on. Tbh, that's good, I hope for your sake you never know.

I was raped in Kindergarten but okay.

Tbf I was not, and not knowing specifics of your situation I'm not sure how that translates to long term abusive partners and cults, actually, but on the surface that seems psychologically different. As it relates to the conversation at hand I'm bot sure how much decision making power kindergarteners have, though the abuser uses similar vectors in that kids are vulnerable by default and cult victims are vulnerable by circumstance. Sorry you went through that and all however, of course.
