Product Information

I do find it hard to know where the misogyny ends and the narcissism begins in my history of abusive relationships, or whether abuse is abuse and the person doing the abuse can be many things at once? In this way, aspiring PUAs are very like “incels”: men who think of themselves as “involuntarily celibate” because women won’t sleep with them. Even though their roots lurk in the very darkest depths, and the same poison drips through the entire network of veins. Such tactics are predicated on the idea that women are just Pavlovian reflex machines, without agency or choice.

They saw themselves as sacrificial lambs, and their mothers as passive, weak, and unwilling to take a stand against the abuser on their children's behalf. What you hear about them sounds so strange, so extreme, so hard to believe, so laughable even, that it is easy to shrug off.When the mother abuses or mistreats her children, the boy is betrayed by the person that was supposed to care for him the most.

Men themselves were the real victims, they’d tell me, in a society in which political correctness has gone mad, white men are persecuted, and so many women lie about rape. The child must be constantly designing her behavior either to avoid the parent's wrath or to get the parent's approval. If the messages the child gets about herself are primarily positive, her self-image will be healthy. Imagine a world in which a vast network of incels and other misogynists are able to operate, virtually undetected. Our recent societal focus on equality is deliberately interpreted and framed by anti-feminists as a criticism of all men, and the communities explored in this book spread the idea that there is no acceptable way to be masculine any more.Forward says that the concept of masochism has been overblown in terms of its actual incidence, and it’s been wrongly used to label victims who were everything but masochists. It’s also possible the wife of an abusive man seeks refuge in the children, or even ask for their support. As a matter of fact, that type of thinking will only keep her stuck is an abusive relationship for longer.
