A large percentage of men are not even capable of being decent human beings, let alone be a father, husband, or partner.
I have long since opened my eyes to my own father's behaviour. If you ask me when was the last time he was 'there' for us, I'd ask you: "emotionally or physically?". The former is a more than a decade longer than the latter; I dare to say that he was emotionally distant ever since I gained awareness as a child. Physical absence was not too far ahead.
If a man doesn't respect you, what makes you think he will respect the child(ren) that you both have? Don't be fooled into thinking that they actually care, for they will want to 'start over' and have a 'new life' in an attempt to brush away all responsibilities and consequences of their actions; as if their actions never occured, as if their ways will change magically or miraculously without any effort on their part😂.
And beware of narcissists and charming liars who disarm you with their dishonesty, treachery, and denial. Never let these men have financial control over you, and never let such men fool you with their promises of love and loyalty. They will turn their back on you the second they have the chance to do so. And there is no point in showing proof of their actions right at their face; they will gaslight, deny and ironically call you a liar😂. They will never accept their mistakes. If they do, it's only in words, not in actions; and they go right back to their ways much much sooner than you could guess or fathom. Men rarely change, if never. It's best to leave them, for they are conditioned to always believe that they are "right" and "superior"; therefore they have little incentive to change for the better and would parade around with a false facade to try and ensnare another person for their own benefit. This change is almost never about realising the wrongs they have done to a person, but rather how to better manipulate another.
On a religious note, polygamy (a practice that is permissible in some religion(s)) is a proof in and of itself that most men in the world are not loyal, nor worthy of the high esteem with which they are regarded in. Additionally, if there isn't polygamy, hookup culture and cheating is rampant. The 'basic instinct' (but muh penis trancends all boundaries and rights) that they cry for are dehumanizing, disgusting, and down-right oppressive, which they will never admit. For the male species want to appear like lords when it is their very species that cause most of physical and mental atrocities that affect both genders in this world; yet they will grasp at every chance to point at the woman in an attempt to shift blame.
They will always huff and puff and (overtly or subtly) threaten the weak and innocent to 'establish dominance'. Respect is a term that they only reserve for their own gender, to the men that have mastered the art of oppression and getting away with it, to the men who are able to shift blame, to the men who are able to establish dominance by threatening, to the men that exploit the vulnerable, to their accomplices in crime; and these men will only provide a fraction of respect to women at a much greater cost (a cost they deny exists). Men band together, and they do everything in their power to disband 'threats' to their authority. There is no point in women standing up for them, for have they stood up for us? Why should we raise our voices in their benefit when they barely do so for us? They jump at the chance for violent war and are able to mobilize millions to violently protect their own interests. Yet they can't peacefully speak out for women?
At this point, I don't give a sh*t for the grown up oppressor's self-made "problems", I only care for the vulnerable and the oppressed women and children.
