Card of the Day

In the modern era, a concept termed “weaponized victimization” has emerged. It occurs when a group already with privilege or power, seizes upon an attempt by the less powerful to redress that imbalance, claims themselves to be the victims, ... of a “power grab.” This dodge tactic was historically used by leaders or clergy when persons, who were the actual victims of abuse, stood up and made accusations for accountability. In some cases, this results in a counter strategy of blame-the-real-victim, for the problem. Sort of like saying “well he/she wouldn’t have been hurt if they weren't (fill in the blank).” The situation is not complex, just complicated. Those screaming the loudest denial might not be personally guilty of anything, but they are afraid of what is being said since it means they’ll lose the privilege to act with impunity. The jig is up, and there will be a fight. In other words, you've outed a perpetrator claiming to be a victim.
