What's a common saying that's actually stupid when you think about it?

So theoretically you're a trusted therapist for young sexual assault victims you can whisper down a young teenaged girl who's been raped by her father about how much she deserved it and how you'd kill her if she didn't give birth to a child that looks just like her father, and if she kills herself after a long enough period of time, let's say every Tuesday and Thursday at 3pm for the next 8 months, you didn't make that girl kill herself?

Think of all the things you were fortunate enough not to experience. Your statement speaks to the fact that you've never been abused long enough by a loved one.

Unless you believe it's the fault of young bullying and abuse victims for not having the fortitude of a male that grew up with no sufficient life-incompatible stressors.

You're naive aren't able to comprehend the effects of verbal abuse beyond "feelings", in short you're a young and naive male with a lack of experience and an underdeveloped sense of empathy.

Sufficient verbal and emotional abuse will break you no matter how tough you think you are.
