I'm still waiting for your explanation of why we need to "assess" with what you call "science" those sorts of facts. You don't have one.

But to say that is to assert that certain defenses may not be raised.
In what sense is it a "defense"? A defense to what?

I'm having a hard time understand when you think it's a "defense" to what to argue that an oppressed minority was responsible for its own abuse. Please explain.
