Jim McMoppet's definitions

Professional Victim

Any individual who makes visible, or becomes known for sharing negative personal experiences, or works to facilitate others to share there own experiences through means such as websites.

Nearly always used to refer to women, it is a common retort to discredit those who speak publicly about rape, or sexual harassment.

When bob saw women sharing their experiences on an internet forum, he was disgusted that anyone would be given attention for showing weakness. As he angrily started typing responses he thought to himself "I'll show these professional victims what happens, when you speak openly about uncomfortable topics".
