Social contagion is a thing. Just because more people are taking about something doesn't mean it's true

It doesn't take therapy or a bunch of trauma ideology to know that hurting people is wrong. Someone could have a perfect upbringing and still be a piece of shit. Alternatively someone could have a shitty upbringing and be a good person. The latter case doesn't require the person to "come to terms with their trauma" in the methodology that gets dictated to them by this decade's version of psychology

Maybe not directly, I was suggesting a more productive alternative than the one in the comment I was responding to

Social contagion affects girls and women much more than boys and men.

If that simple explanation is true, why do the abused so frequently become the abusers? And why do they struggle to stop before therapy?

How is this related?

> And why do they struggle to stop before therapy?

Sounds like you're implying that they stop after therapy also

Do they, long term? Is it because of therapy or because courts/law enforcement are involved?

> why do the abused so frequently become the abusers?

I'm not saying that abuse does not make people more likely to abuse, I'm saying that therapy alone does not reliably make them better people
