I don’t think it’s okay to say that child molestation is a “compliment” that should be accepted as such by the victim:

> [@Sexual assault isn't funny](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sexual-assault-isnt-funny/799424/28):
>
> From my point of view the guy in the OP received a compliment and should be a bit grateful, not whining about it after all these years.

For those who haven’t read the thread, the “guy in the OP” was described like this:

> [@Sexual assault isn't funny](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sexual-assault-isnt-funny/799424/1):
>
> Then this friend of mine decides to talk to us about the time his female basketball coach touched him inappropriately when he was very young. He wouldn’t go into the details of it, but I swear, I could see how difficult it was for him let it all out. I was about to reach out and comfort him when the rest of our friends just laugh at him. They tell him he was lucky since he “got some” really early in life. […] Ever since that night, this friend of mine has become more reserved. He’s spending less time with us and he just isn’t the same guy anymore. The whole thing has taken a toll on him and I’m really worried. His mental health seems to have been getting worse since the whole fiasco…

**dropzone** ’s behavior in that thread was disgusting. In addition to being sickening in and of itself, his stated belief that sexual abuse is flattering makes his frequently inappropriate behavior towards female Dopers all the more troubling.
