Why do some men insult their partners? (study)✨LVM mate-guarding mindfuck - shifting the burden of their own low value into their partners✨never forget you’re a queen and that a man’s behavior reflects HIS VALUE, not yours!👑

What they call "mate-retention" behaviors is actually verbal abuse in order to diminish a partner's self esteem so much that they think they are unable to leave a toxic situation. In other words, low-level trauma bonding. CALL IT WHAT IT IS.

Not "mate-retention". Low-level trauma bonding.

And people wonder why women stay or return to abusive situations. Because they are mind-fk'd for long enough to think they can't or shouldn't deserve more. People wonder why women have children in abusive relationships. Well... if you're living in a war-zone, you just adjust to it because you think you can never escape, which of course is not true... but how would these women know if they have been "mate-retained" for a few years.

The phrasing in this study annoys me as much as "underage women" is used to describe children in cases where high profile men are accused of paed*philia.

Just saw this garbage comment after the article:

"However, it is still important to understand wider socio-political and economic factors affecting mens’ attitudes towards women, as opposed to focus upon ‘men’ as the source of the problem"

Clearly they are the source of the problem, let's not pretend like them being dick to women over their lifetimes makes them a victim. We can and should find out why it's prevalent but I don't want to hear this nonsensical "don't focus on men as the source of the problem" bs

This study looks are very obvious insulting too. It can be way more subtle...
