supertom, I'd hardly call sexual abuse a badge of honor in any circumstance. Doing so, especially mockingly, is a sign of the speaker's ignorance, insensitivity, and general rudeness. Unless you have been abused yourself, you have no idea of the shame, guilt, and long-term pain that can accompany such events. Haste thee to a library, so that you may research, and know wherefore thou speakest. Better yet, have yourself put in a sexually vulnerable position against your will, and then get back to me.
I'll agree with you that "social conditioning is trying to deny anything sexual as something wrong" - I know from both experience and education that children, naturally, are sexual beings too, and prone to experimentation; after all, kids learn best from hands-on experience. But in the case of my neighbor and cousins, I neither sought nor wanted the experience, and that does make all the difference.
Also? You're guessing wrong. Try again, sweetheart.
