Is it victimization if the victim doesn't feel victimized?

Not to say you think like anyone on the Real World Heather but last night Sarah said the same thing - that the reason she is always pursuing men is because she was raped at a young age and if she makes the first move it puts her in the position of power.

Whether it really is a more powerful vantage point is debatable, but that is a topic for another day.
