Interesting point of view, Dayspring....

Now I have to rewatch episode 22...

Kind of a side note, Angelic Impact and Paradise Lost series of Eva manga
both have similar inclinations on suggesting that Asuka was sexually abused
during her childhood--not that we should take that seriously.

It's kinda a sad to see Asuka definitely has the "profile" of being a
victim of child abuse which we hear all the time in the US of A. *sigh*

Something to think about I guess. This is one of the questions you have to
ask, the man, Anno san himself...

Regards.
