Great post, thank you for putting into words what I think a lot of people are thinking.
There was a similar post on Huff Post justifying staying. The end result is, of course, these women accept NO responsibility for their behavior.
Regarding that chart, how many women use a lot of those tactics?
Use emotional abuse? Check.
Deny, Blame & Minimize? Check.
Use children? Oh fuck yes they do.
How many men have dated a manipulative shrew? I'd venture to guess around 100%. You know what the answer to dating a manipulative shrew is? STOP FUCKING DATING HER.
It's the same thing with these women on everything. If a man was with a woman who exhibited behavior shown on that chart and complained to his friends, the response would be to bail immediately. But with women, the focus is entirely on the victimization.
Of course no one should physically or emotionally abuse another person. But these women are taught if they feel a certain way, then they are justified to keep repeating the behavior that puts them in a bad position.
I dated a woman who was cute, great body, good personality…until I found out she had a serious drug problem that began to severely affect her behavior. So what did I do? I used my HEAD and bailed. It didn't feel good to lose the amazing sex, but often logic (and common sense) overrides feeling. But I won't hold my breath to wait for these women to live up to these standards, which are basically standards of a human adult.
