I think there's more to it than just father withstanding the same sort or similar abuse as a child. Sure, this can influence someone to take it out on someone else when they get older if they never healed from the pain; however, most people even if they never heal from pain, do not force sex on their own children.
I've researched this a bit, and while you shouldn't go around labeling people - fathers who molest their own children tend to be either Narcissists or Sociopaths or Psychopaths (narcissistic traits are the hallmark of each disorder).
Basically, the father sees the children as an extension of himself, property so to speak to do with as he will. He does not see his children as indepedent human beings with minds of their own - only something to be controlled and to gain pleasure from. If the children happen to express their own mind - woah unto them. This is just a brief answer compared how complex this situation really is. Basically, I believe that most/all father molesters have a personality disorder (of the three mentioned) at the core of their problem. They do not have any empathy.
To me it is just disgusting! I know, it happened to my two sisters and almost happened to me (but didn't thank God!) Years later, though this still bothers me and I just woke up from horrible dream/nightmare where part of it my dad was molesting my grown-up sisters in one house we all lived in.

Would young boys be safer from sexual abuse if we had women priests and women coaches? What could it hurt to try it out, right?
