[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the man but I don’t think men are socialized to view us as people, and that it takes the purposeful intervention of close individuals to make it happen. A determined mother (or father, but that requires a father who already understands this, which is rare) or a girlfriend or spouse. I think my DH sees me as a human now but there was a time when I realized he’d either stopped or been faking it, and our marriage hinged on him turning that around. One reason I was committed to making it happen is that we have a daughter. If we didn’t, I’m not sure I would have put in the time. But making sure my DD’s dad is capable of seeing her humanity is worth it even if it’s sucked for me to have to asset and reassert my personhood over and over until he got it.[/quote]
