In a nutshell: Whatever kind of ‘abuse’ people have experienced in the past (rape, harassment, assault etc) is made CONSIDERABLY WORSE by those whose self-serving propaganda is designed to make them feel worse.

And then, unsurprisingly, the ‘researchers’ will ERRONEOUSLY interpret the CONSIDERABLY WORSE outcome as being caused by the ‘abuse’ rather than by the self-serving propaganda. This is how those working in the abuse industry – which is vast in size – nowadays make their living. And it is mostly at the expense of men.

How a traumatic event might impact on children

depends on how the adults around them cope with it.

(The Child Sex Trauma Myth #3)

This is the 3rd in a series of articles about the Child Sex Trauma Myth (#1 disclaimer, #2)

Studies looking at the effect of early traumatic experiences on children – that is, events experienced DIRECTLY by children rather than just images they have seen – have found that neither the severity of the event nor the age of the child at the time can help us predict whether the child will experience behavioural or emotional problems later on. As child development expert Rudolph Schaffer points out: ‘It has become apparent that there is no direct relationship between age and the impact which experience has on the individual, that young children are not necessarily more vulnerable even to quite severe adversities than older children, and that considerable variability exists in long-term outcome.’ The one variable that does help to predict how a traumatic event might impact on children is how the adults around them cope with it.

quoted in `Tea Abuse | Angry Harry

Child sex abuse trauma is caused by society’s hysteria

Putting it bluntly: Any long-term negative effects stemming from events that happened in the past are considerably worsened – if not completely manufactured – by negative propaganda concerning such events. `Tea Abuse | Angry Harry

For example, if, during the next 30 years, people were continually bombarded with convincing and rousing propaganda persuading them that having a parent who drank tea when they were children was a later cause of major depression, illness, suicide and psychological dysfunction, then, believe it or not, the result would be that such individuals would, indeed, suffer those very consequences. In other words, people whose parents drank tea would suffer serious consequences.

He goes on describing all the terrible damages that would be done by that hysteria.

Child Sex Trauma Myth as Self-Fulfilling Prophecy:

Invent a tea trauma myth

tell people that tea-drinking parents cause trauma, and they will cause trauma

But why-oh-why would they be going through all of this terrible suffering? Because their parents had drunk tea? No. Of course not. The very notion is utterly preposterous. They would be going through all this suffering solely because of the machinations of the abuse industry. I want to repeat that last sentence. They would be going through all this suffering SOLELY because of the machinations of the abuse industry. You can cause terrible pain and illness, and real, deep-seated, long term suffering to people, just by making credible the message that drinking tea is a disgusting thing to do, or to have done.

Inventing a sex trauma myth is even easier then a tea trauma myth

And so imbuing people with the notion that sexual abuse leads to long-term suffering is infinitely easier to do in comparison to making similar claims over tea drinking. Indeed, the abuse industry’s machinations in this area over the past three decades have been extremely successful. But they have not only led to a society that is now positively obsessed with the dangers of sexual contact, they have also produced a society that seems absolutely possessed by a fraudulently manufactured deep-rooted suspicion of any kind of intimacy.

You tell people tea drinking traumatizes children,

Later, research will actually show that to be true (self-fulfilling prophecy)

And, of course, the addition of handsome financial compensation for the alleged victims of ‘abuse’ by the justice system simply validates the hysteria and makes all the above negative consequences for society much worse. And all these negative consequences – many of them truly appalling – can easily be brought about by creating continuous hysteria over the drinking of tea! And the Science Daily would then be telling us that … "Far from being a static experience, tea abuse during youth may affect health even in old age" And the research statistics would, indeed, strongly support such a claim.
