Book cover for Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men
You didn’t make him this way. A controlling or abusive man lives out his own script, and the woman he’s involved with has nothing to do with it, believe it or not. The exact same behaviors emerge from him regardless of the woman—unless it’s ...more

Alix E. Harrow
“Maybe all powerful men are cowards at heart, because in their hearts they know power is temporary.”
Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January

Lundy Bancroft
“The central attitudes driving the Victim are:
Everybody has done me wrong, especially the women I’ve been involved with. Poor me.
When you accuse me of being abusive, you are joining the parade of people who have been cruel and unfair to me. It proves you’re just like the rest.
It’s justifiable for me to do to you whatever I feel you are doing to me, and even to make it quite a bit worse to make sure you get the message.
Women who complain of mistreatment by men, such as relationship abuse or sexual harassment, are anti-male and out for blood.
I’ve had it so hard that I’m not responsible for my actions.”

Alix E. Harrow
“The will to be polite, to maintain civility and normalcy, is fearfully strong. I wonder sometimes how much evil is permitted to run unchecked simply because it would be rude to interrupt it.”
Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January

Lundy Bancroft
“The central attitudes driving the Water Torturer are:
You are crazy. You fly off the handle over nothing.
I can easily convince other people that you’re the one who is messed up.
As long as I’m calm, you can’t call anything I do abusive, no matter how cruel.
I know exactly how to get under your skin.”
Lundy Bancroft, Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men

Lundy Bancroft
“The central attitudes driving the Terrorist are:
You have no right to defy me or leave me. Your life is in my hands.
Women are evil and have to be kept terrorized to prevent that evil from coming forth.
I would rather die than accept your right to independence.
The children are one of the best tools I can use to make you fearful.
Seeing you terrified is exciting and satisfying.”
Lundy Bancroft, Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men
