It's an observation that I've had in the last couple years of actively spinning plates. Very often it turns out that well-behaved women (ones that defer to male authority, appreciate the time you invest in them, not leech off you, etc.) had some pretty fucked up events in the past. Abuse, bullying, growing up dirt-poor, etc.

I do not in any way condone abuse of women, but it does give off the impression that nowadays women have such inflated egos that to bring out even an inkling of humility in them, they need to be SEVERELY beaten down by life.

I have yet to meet a hot chick with an untroubled past that doesn't act like a brat.
