Victim-hood allows them to proclaim special status, granting them attention and empathy from those who are like them in their passive mindset. They are sheep, willing to be sheared (or slaughtered), in order to remain a part of their chosen herd. <br /><br />Pointing out their choice of victim-hood calls into view a truth that they do not wish to see, and denies them unwarranted attention and power. Therefore, they will censor anybody who dares to bring facts into their discussion. Their mindset is powered by emotion, not logic.<br /><br />Your decision to move past the victimization and into empowerment is a choice that Joan and her ilk will never make. Because, doing so would remove their ability to exercise power over others. Empowering yourself removed you from their sphere of influence, and exposed their lies for what they truly are: a way to victimize others by attempting to deny them their chance to avoid victim-hood themselves. <br /><br />They need more victims in order to remain relevant. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.Newbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501998014769060130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-30171485475830623322012-01-15T20:02:01.815-08:002012-01-15T20:02:01.815-08:00I made a reply to one of her posts and she basical...I made a reply to one of her posts and she basically "talked down" to me.

I respond to one of your comments on another blog and come here and find this. I will be honest, I was a little concerned at what the lack of tact from Joan might do to you. I can see I was worried for no reason. You could dance circles around Joan when it comes to helping a victim overcome their past. It's a no-brainer, really. Wallow in it vs overcome it.

I thought some level headed thinking was needed. I was a daily debated on Mikeb302000 for around 6 months. Right up until he stated that a woman should accept being raped. I went ballistic and refused to return or ever acknowledge him again.
