When someone else tries to lay it on me, one of my responses is, "When you get wet almost every time you go outside, you might have done something to annoy the weather gods and deserve punishment - or you might live in Portland. It rains a lot. On everyone." By analogy, there are a lot of abusers out there, and a lot of cultural permission for abusive behavior.
