Male inadvertently explains everything.

Clearest thing I've ever read about why men are the way they are.

Describes how my brother was raised.

He was attempting to shit on women but accidentally revealed everything that's wrong with men today.

Boys will be boys, and your dress was too short. Boom. Psychopaths.

Many past patriarchal societies would even take away the boy from its mother at around 7 years old "to make sure he is socialized properly."

Omg this is exactly how my brother and I were raised. He could do whatever he wanted to me and my parents (especially mother) would say "he's going through a hard time" (so was I, but she still expected me to treat others decently and contain my emotions nonetheless) and then lavished sympathy and attention on him, all of which was responded to with zero gratitude or outright spiteful wrath on his part. When he and his friend threw rocks at me, it was my fault for "trying to force myself into their friendship instead of trying to make my own female friends" (I was simply waiting for the bus and I had quite a few female friends) when he threw me through a glass door and my hand was almost ripped off, it was my fault for "provoking him" by using the microwave to make myself good after school and not using the money my parents left to go and buy us sandwiches. When he sexually abused me, it was my fault for walking around the house without a bra and I was accused of being just as much at fault. Then when I developed depression and anorexia as a result of that and other male violence (I wasn't getting any attention at home, so I looked for "love" elsewhere) I was shamed for wasting so much money by needing to be hospitalized for three weeks just because I was suffering from a "spoiled little white girl disease" And finally, when after years of my brother calling me fat and making fun of my nose and overall appearance and calling me an "ugly c-word", I decided to get a part-time job and save up money for a rhinoplasty, my parents tried to take the money out of my teen bank account (I barely managed to save it by skipping school at lunch and literally sprinting to the nearest bank) and then threatened to give my college fund to my brother if I was saving money, because apparently in their minds, if I was saving money I should be forced to "choose" between getting an education or getting a nose job. Basically they told me that I could choose to make my living as a pretty airhead dependent on men, or as an ugly human being, but no compromise.

Then when I decided to move to Europe and get a free education so that I could be independent of them once and for all, they guilt me for not being around them enough and expect me to call them every day. "Why can't you be more like your brother"? who is flunking out of his psychology classes at the local community college. He sees them every day. And he lazes around their house smoking weed, and then he scoffs at the food my mother prepares for him, orders a pizza on their dime, and leaves a big mess when he goes out to fuck some high school girl who's probably going to develop the same psychological issues I did.

Yeah, as you can see, this quote speaks to me on a very personal level. I had to rant, sorry.
