“As if withholding belief was a moral crime…”
Friday - 12Jan2018 Filed in: Quotes & Thinkums&Morality & Modern Life
Something very big hit the pagan side of the internet yesterday. I was going to do a very smug NeoNote or two about it, but not now.
I spent most of my day learning things I did not want to know. I also spent the day being flamed on reddit and in my email.
One commenter at The Wild Hunt got it exactly right.
That explains most of my day yesterday.

““I have a problem with this assumption "at the moment the general reaction seems to be to disbelieve abuse survivors." I do not find it to be accurate. Mostly because of what group is being examined to provide the baseline for the general reaction, which I've rarely seen explained.
Every time I see this idea come up, it is used as a weapon against those who desire to have an examined and rational discussion without having to say "I believe." as if withholding belief was a moral crime. That idea that there is a culture of disbelief has been weaponized and used to silence those who ask uncomfortable and disquieting questions.””
