I find the CSA claims they make in mitigation absolutely baffling, because if it was a mitigating factor or contributor, you'd find a vast number of sex offenders would be women. But we don't go sexually abusing people on masse in response to our violations. I doubt Gisele Pelicot is going to go out and suddenly become a mass murderer or rapist. I mean, it's always horrendous, but my reaction to a rapist saying that they were abused as a child as en excuse is, "And what exactly was it about that experience that made you want to do the same to others?"
I think it's as someone else said - women are encouraged to have empathy, to think about how others are feeling, about the impact of our actions on others. Generally when we're abused we get fiercely overprotective of our loved ones, or try and keep the experience bottled up so as not to affect others. Evidently a good chunk of male victims just get angry at being abused when they were powerless, and want to take that anger out on the world, or to try and gain a sense of power over whoever they can.
This is a man problem.
Men who think it's ok to rape a woman because her husband gave the thumbs up.
Men who've previously been convicted of rape and sexual assaults, then let out unmonitored, when they should be monitored for life.
Men who rape and molest other men and boys, and the male society that tells them that if they go on to be abusers, then it's understandable.
Men who rape and refuse to accept that it's rape.
And it's women and children who pay the price, who have to stand there in court whilst their rapists play the victim, and act all offended that they're being accused of rape.
Society needs to raise its boys better.
