I'm with you on feeling like I'm not interested in what people are trying to say that are discrediting the victims. I heard a lot of victim blaming rhetoric from my coworkers, and when I called them out on it they couldn't justify it without saying some truly awful things. I did watch the Oprah interview, and I completely agree with what she said about it being bigger than MJ. The fact that it happens so often is a part of a bigger problem with our society. Oprah herself is a victim of CSA, and you can tell she has a lot of empathy for what these men went through as children. I was especially struck by how haunted James Safechuck seemed during the entirety of the interview. My heart goes out to all the victims that were abused by Michael Jackson.
