Hmmmmm

I see you've never had the pleasure of having your jaw broken by your loved one? Had their anger issues in your face for years and years. Flinched every time they simply raised their hand in conversation like an abused animal. Been raped by your husband.

You don't get it, it's not "feminist" profiling, its instinct from years of fear. I can pretty much spot the women that are being abused now. I am ultra sensitive to men who I am certain are abusers and degraders.

Men (and in some cases WOMEN) can talk a very good game. They convince everyone that they are "human" after all. Human can often mean, so, I lose my temper a few times, but I have the right to do so. When they lose their temper it's in the most horribly degrading way possible. At times I would almost have rather been hit than degraded.

No, you haven't lived until a man has said to you (while raping you) that you owe it to them because they are the breadwinner. Stop whining, you know you like it.

Or something like how loathsome you are, unsexy, stupid, worthless...that you better stay with them because no one else would ever want you.

Or when they cheat, it's because YOU drove them to it.

When they break your jaw, well that was your fault also. If you hadn't been all of the above, or had quitely submitted to sodomy the night before, it just wouldn't have been necessary to do that.

When they don't give you money, even though you work full time, it's because it's not your money, your house...

You might say I just have "baggage". True. Am I generally angry at men? No I'm not. You might think I'm too "modern" and feminist. Well if being a strong woman scares you, then that speaks a lot about YOU, not me.

And in the end, perhaps Mama's friend is not a classic "abuser". Maybe his wife just hates him for whatever reason. Sad, but it happens. Once it's truly gone, it's gone.
