#incestculture — Public Fediverse posts

"If we stop idealising the maternal role or trivialising the assaults committed by women, it seems that incestuous mothers who abuse their young children actually represent a significant proportion of incest perpetrators. Monique Tardif and Bernadette Lamoureux mention various considerations that would protect our individual and collective conception of the maternal function. They mention both the resistance to recognising sexual manifestations emanating from women and their aggressive behaviours. Caregiving and nurturing affect the discernment capacity of both victims and their loved ones who face subtle or masked abusive behaviours."

p. 73 of "Le berceau des dominations", par Dorothée Dussy

_Ethical responsibility_ 🧶

Incest is settled by a perverse disconnect between words and deeds.
According to Cécile Cée, ‘the situation does not depend on what the victim has to say about it, but on what society should say about it’ (p. 181). The act of naming is not:
* the result of interpersonal negotiation (to what extent may I call incest what the victim does not designate as such?),
* but rather a collective statement (‘It is up to society, to third parties, to you, to enunciate,’ p. 182), which alone can ‘put the world back the right way up’ (p. 227),
* then we move away from individual conscience and into the realm of social and political ethical responsibility.

Incest ‘is an issue of at least three persons within the family: there is the perpetrator, the victim, and the person who allowed the acts to be committed or repeated while they were known or revealed to him or her.’

The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)

Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)
