Even if abused men didn't want to come forward, they would have been discovered by now. Neighbors don't turn a deaf ear to abuse the way they might have ten or twenty years ago...If there were millions of cowed, trembling men out there, the police would be finding them. Abusive men commonly like to play the role of the victim, and most men who claim to be battered men are actually the perpetrators of violence.

It is important to note that research has shown that men who have abusive mothers do not tend to develop especially negative attitudes towards females, but men who have abusive fathers do; the disrespect that abusive men show their female partners and their daughters is often absorbed by their sons.

Abuse of women by men is so rampant that, unless people can somehow make it women's own fault, they are forced to take on a number of uncomfortable questions about men and about much of male thinking.

You're letting your seven year old have unsupervised access to the internet? I think I found the problem.

Even the arrogant person, who attempts to "put you in your place" or make you feel inferior, is really suffering from a low opinion of himself. You can understand his behavior if you keep in mind two things: first, he needs desperately to increase his own self-importance and is attempting to do so by beating you down, and second, he is afraid.

What a fucking loser.

The main character is kind of pathetic, lol

Without access to our uncomfortable or painful feelings, we are deprived of the most fundamental part of our abilities to notice when something is unfair, abusive, or neglectful in our environments.
