On Monday 2/15/10 the Oprah Show has the following:
Tune In
It's the side of child molestation that's rarely talked about. For years, he was raped by his own mother. What happens when women are the molesters.
I am very much hoping that the show looks at this issue in an honest factual way rather than how many media stories do. Dr. Christine Hatchard of MDSA (Making Daughters Safe Again) has the following comments on her site that I hope Oprah and her show will also point out:
In our society, mothers are automatically given special status, and certain characteristics, such as “nurturing, caring, protective” are attributed to them. The truth is, at her core, a mother is a woman and a human being, and like any other human being, is capable of the same range of violence, hate and autonomous behavior. To view women or mothers any differently, is to not realize their full potential as human beings, for better or for worse.
Mothers often sexually abuse in more than one way, and act independently. The sexual abuse can be violent and physically painful, and take place in the context of emotional and physical abuse as well.

I'm going to predict that the Oprah heard is going to somehow conclude that the women molesters were somehow "made" to do it by some evil men.
