There's plenty of that in Anglo US culture too. Fortunately, I'm at the point in my recovery that when people treat me as weak or less than because of what somebody did to me, I get mad instead of hurt and self doubting. Most of the time I have to hold myself back, but every so often, there's someone that really needs me to say "Fuck you, you think you could go through what I did and still be standing upright?" and I'm happy to oblige.
