The mental gymnastics at play here are astounding.
Why would women acclimate to it and see it as the norm while men don't? If anything, exposing men to violence will also make them more violent in their future relationships.
- bko 5mo agoWhat mental gymnastics? Women that are abused often marry an abuser because it's just the way things are in relationships. For boys, fighting or threat of violence is just a fact of life. They are taught at a young age not to use that violence against someone that's not roughly physically matched, which includes women. That's why we tell boys never hit girls. Why do you pretend you don't understand?
- simgt 5mo agoNo, in advanced societies we tell children to never hit others.
- bko 5mo ago... and then everyone stood up and applauded.
- array_key_first 5mo agoBut that's literally what we teach. Part of the reason men cause so much violence is because of people like you, your exact mentality. Which says that's its expected for men to be violence, so, c'est la vie! Men are not just like... inherently violent creatures, that's a stupid and toxic mentality. No, they're socialized to be violent by other men, who were also socialized to be violent.
- simgt 5mo agoBottom line of all these comments here is "because women are too innocent / fragile / weak / ignorant". It's entirely unrelated to how men view them, of course.
