I’ve read how there were so many women in Vienna talking about how they were sexually abused as children that Sigmund Freud wondered if there were some kind of child molestation epidemic going on. But no. The trouble was that even though these women hadn’t been abused, they so thoroughly believed that it had happened that they exhibited all the symptoms of legitimate victims. So for all intents and purposes, they had been abused. Which would piss me off if I were a legitimate victim, and makes you wonder what exactly the point is of having any actual experiences if you can be just as affected by imaginary ones.
