I'm starting to think that Society hates kids, because of how they treat young survivors vs. Abusive, 'old' survivors of abuse. But then again it could just be that common society hates the defenseless, wich we can also see in various other minority groups. Any thoughts on this theory?
This is a lot for me to theorize about. I think a lot of minorities were made defenseless, by people who had something to gain for it, and they're still dedicated to keeping them defenseless in order to exploit it. It's always done to someone's benefit. I don't think hatred is even the word to describe it; in order to hate someone, you need to see them as a human, but to the oppressive and abusive groups, minorities and children are just resources. It's dehumanization.
Society will also favor the survivors of abuse who will enable the systems that puts easy exploitation into place. The younger survivors are the ones who are demanding for a change, who want a less harmful system, so we're 'dangerous' and 'need to be silenced back into our place'. It's still all about benefit, and not challenging the system that some people have something to gain from. It's very disheartening, but we'll keep fighting!
