what

the world is "mad" because their prince (Akio) isn't perfect, so he makes sure the anger is directed towards the witch (Anthy), so that he can continue being a piece of shit without losing face

she doesn't fight back because that's the role she's supposed to be playing (because her brother is good and she's bad) and she remains pretty much catatonic/despondent until Utena shows up and Anthy realizes it's okay to put herself first/not answer to Akio's needs

the entire point is that Anthy is victim-blamed (even she herself thinks she's the one responsible) and the situation isn't resolved until Anthy leaves, because Akio is perfectly happy with using Anthy as he pleases

it's made perfectly clear she didn't initiate shit

except when she seduces him when they're children, when he's fallen victim to the world's expectations of him?
maybe take a step back and reevaluate your idea of abuse existing within clear good/bad frame, then the whole series will make more sense. You're stereotyping the victim, and that erases part of the story, and doesn't help with solutions of similar situations, nor is it the point Ikuhara wants to make. All of his works deal with the guilt of the victim vs. the (previous) victimization of the abuser. trying to force it into a black/white frame is not doing it justice in the least.
