179. Just because you don't know anyone personally doesn't mean the attitude isn't out there

Wed May 8, 2013, 07:30 AM

May 2013

It's kinda like saying I don't know any gay people, so they must not exist.

When I was young I dated a man who seemed nice and normal, so I married him. Immediately after marrying him, he did a complete 180 in personality. When I'd go to my parents to do our laundry, I wouldn't have been gone more than an hour (not nearly enough time to get there and do a single load of laundry) when he'd call and want to know where I was and why I wasn't home yet. It took him 4 months to become violent and I immediately left him.

You hear stories everyday of some man who kills a woman because if he can't have her, no one can. Does this mean every man is this way? Hell no and the OP didn't say that. However, to deny that there are men out there that think women are theirs to control is just insanity--hell, just look at the Republican party and the laws they're trying to create when it comes to women and our reproductive health. Or trying to redefine rape laws. Or when women are accused of being "hysterical" when we have a strong opinion about something but men can have the same opinion and that's just fine. Or, in your instance, when someone brings up this topic, you accuse her of having an agenda, when all she is really doing is pointing out reality. Reality is not an agenda.

There is inequity in gender roles to this day and some men take it to the extreme--it isn't an agenda to point that out.
