Women being more likely to be killed by a romantic partner or a family member than anyone else was one the worst facts I found out. Nothing is more heartbreaking than knowing you’re more at danger in your home than outside

And people think we’re being dramatic for having such high standards for the people in our lives🙄

But treating us like human beings is “simping” now

this is so sick. i wish we could have a hate crime status. misogyny is so bad lately. and i feel it's because women as a collective are at the "leaving" stage of the abusive relationship with society. which is the most dangerous time. bc abusers are losing their control. (there is nothing scientific about this conclusion, just my thoughts as of late).

Most women I know irl, have been abused both mentally and physically by their husbands and male family members as opposed to harassment by strangers. I always wished it wasn't a pattern but now that I look around, read and analyse...it indeed is true. You might be going to bed with your killer. Funniest thing is, if incase women do get murdered or tortured by their husbands, these ladies are blamed for their poor choices in men but then if women do have higher standards to protect themselves and their peace, they still are shamed for the same. The game is rigged, you are blamed anyways.

Reason #65478 to stay single

But then they shame women for being outside alone at night, even though the statistics say it is safer for us there.

Also sons are much more likely to abuse their elderly mothers physically and sexually.

I am so glad for threads like this. It has validated my thoughts and further opened my eyes to the abuse and violence I have had to endure my entire life. The misogyny is so pervasive it was hard to see, but now I can't unsee it.

For me it was finding out that homicide is the leading cause of death of pregnant women.

The risk is even higher if you own a gun. Please don’t ever tell your boyfriend you have a gun. The risk of death goes even up, and it will most likely be used against you.

According to this

https://www.cdc.gov/women/lcod/2017/all-races-origins/index.htm#anchor_1571151327

homicide and suicide are at rank 3 and 4, and 4 and 5 respectively for leading causes of death for women aged 1-19 and 20-44 years in the US. They are only outranked by accidents, cancer and heart disease. It's heartbreaking.

Especially considering how scary outside can feel. Catcalls, getting followed, etc. For just a day I would like to trade places with those who feel like life as a woman is just getting handed bon bons every where you go, hell for just an hour.

Yep this is true

DuchessDurag · 2021-09-25T10:36:32+00:00

Im from a small military and mining town and the domestic rates are super high here ! Women shelters and refuge centres are always packed out.

A lot of women prefer to be single , yet the men assume a woman’s standards are high because she’s “crazy” 🙄.

ProseNylund · 2021-09-24T13:05:01+00:00

This is why it’s so important to vet the men in your life very well, put up with zero bullshit from them, have your own finances (including an emergency fund kept separate and secret), and to not live with someone right away. Always have a way of getting out, always have an escape hatch, and do not put yourself at risk by moving in without the ability to gtfo. Trust your instincts.
