As I said, it all boils down to the same three arguments couched in righteous indignation:
1. You can't stop me (the root of "your opinion is invalid")
2. They're too small to stop me
3. It was done to me
And then when someone who DOES have children or spends more time responsible for them and their discipline than the parents shows up the line is just as indignantly and even more desperately redrawn to somehow render that person's opinion illegitimate.

I'm pretty sure the argument has been made (and if it hasn't I'm going to make it now) that
1. It's effective
2. It's not abuse.
