@Aldo2 @carlosruzu But they're still part of the same culture, they have the same beliefs as anyone else, it's more about their experiences
People vastly overestimate the effects, don't know it was the norm historically, and underestimate the benefits

>Meta-analyses revealed that students with CSA were, on average, slightly less well adjusted than controls. However, this poorer adjustment could not be attributed to CSA because family environment (FE) was consistently confounded with CSA, FE explained considerably more adjustment variance than CSA, and CSA-adjustment relations generally became nonsignificant when studies controlled for FE. Self-reported reactions to and effects from CSA indicated that negative effects were neither pervasive nor typically intense, and that men reacted much less negatively than women. The college data were completely consistent with data from national samples. Basic beliefs about CSA in the general population were not supported.
@Aldo2 @carlosruzu Also keep in mind "CSA" here as they're talking about is better described as "sexual experiences without rape"
They also talk about how difficult it is to even talk about this because people want to put consensual and non-consensual relationships in the same pot or you're a pedoenabler "IT'S ALWAYS RAPE!" so you need to use terms like "CSA"
