So why do it? Because it happened to you? Grow up.
Yes, everyone who asks for fair treatment is a baby. Well done, Gildre.

Having talked to Gildre separately, I know that this was not what he meant by this.

The line you quote is expressing a frustration with the attitude, "Well, we had a terrible thing happen to us, so if the same (or a similar) terrible thing happens to you, that's just fine! Maybe you even deserve it!"

That kind of attitude perpetuates cycles of abuse. The attitude we want to cultivate is, "We had a terrible thing happen to us. How do we make sure it never happens to anyone else?"
