    Some, certainly. After all, at the end of the day, abuse of any sort is a power play. But it takes far more power to control our own inner beasts, and sheer willpower ain’t it.

    At any rate, that theory can not be applied wholesale across the board, not any other, imo. What can be is that the abused either grow up to become abusers or victims or both, without deep reckoning and usually some sort of professional intervention. I suppose there are exceptions, but I’ve never met any, in 3D, despite much protestation to the contrary.
