[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's crazy seeing the amount of comments blaming women for experiencing emotional abuse. [/quote]

They are responding to the typical DCUM narrative: Men are always at fault for anything suboptimal in women's lives.  The common sentiment is that women are never at fault for the breakdown of their romantic relationships.  I can't recall a single divorced woman on this board ever admitting that she bore any responsibility at all for her divorce (which is funny considering the countless threads about evil female friend groups and difficult mothers and mothers-in-law).[/quote]

Men are not always at fault, but in real life, it's STILL very common to dump all obligations of childrearing and household duties on women. It was even more common before, just a generation ago. It's not by accident that young women now don't want to get married and have children any more -- I mean, realistically, how stupid do you have to be for that?! Young women can earn their own living and live the way they like! There are many older women out there, myself included, who regret getting married. I still have my sparkle, but I had to fight for it, and I'm a highly educated professional, with a personality akin to Margaret Thatcher if you get my drift. I recognize that most women are in a way worse position than I am. If I was a young woman now with their opportunities -- I would never get married! The reason of birth rates falling off the cliff is the direct result of women refusing to get used up and thrown away. [/quote]

So you agree with the common DCUM narrative, essentially.  You really didn't add anything different to the typical comments.[/quote]

Maybe you're not aware that women were not allowed to own property, have a job or pretty much do anything on their own until quite recently, and there are still cultures/countries where this is the case? They were/are considered the property of the male members of the family? First, their father and then their husband? In many cultures a woman's last name at marriage still literally designates her as the property of her husband? I suppose the typical DCUM comments then are typical, because this is what typically happens in life. [/quote]
