I love going to school this year, with my teacher selection. I've got a hippie pot smoking art teacher, I've got a simple pot smoking science teacher, and well...the english teacher is such an asshole that the people in my class have taken to rebellion, which is amusing, because he can;t do shit ^^

Something I learned through the years is that if you please one woman then you've got two or three women that think you're great.
If you piss off one woman then you have twenty or thirty that think you're garbage.

LMFAO!!!!

It's flattering to see something you've said used as someone elses signature. Thanks for seeing merit in one of my life's lessons.

I know the dry spell that comes with treating a woman poorly. The only thing I can't figure out is women who keep coming back for more no matter how poorly you treat them. There was one girl that I would stand up all the time or just use her to satisfy whatever urges I might have had at the time. The worse I seemed to treat her the harder she tried to please me. In the end I ended things with her feeling lower than dirt for using any woman like that and to this day I'm still confused by women who behave in this manner.

Unfortunately there are many women who behave in that manner. Their husbands spank them but then they try to stop the police from arresting them! That's beyond me, really! My grandmother has often told me of women who were spanked their whole lives but when they finally got the courage to strike back their husbands never laid a finger on them again!

ya... but spousal(sp?) abuse can be hard to prove. it usually just turns into a battle of he said she said....

**Zagatto** · 03-20-2005, 09:00 PM

there are too many cases where it isn't hard to prove the spousal abuse because of burns, broken bones or just plain old bruises where the wife still won't press charges for any number of lame reasons they can come up with.

I have a friend who works in a womans shelter and every few months I talk to her and she's in tears because some woman went back to her abusive husband and ended up beaten to death.

So many thoughts come to mind with that that it pains me to put anything down here. What can make a woman go back to a relationship like that? What can make a man treat any other person like that?
and the list goes on and on...

When a woman is made to feel like it is all her fault that the abuse is happening to her, like in many cases, why would she leave him? If she would ever realize that it is not her fault that he abuses her then I think it would be reported and she would leave him.
Just my opinion.

vegeta76 · 03-28-2005, 04:32 PM

you also have to take into account the fact that even if the woman does have the man arrested, most restraining orders arent worth the paper they are printed on... you always hear the stories on the news about the women who go and get a restraining order against their ex-husbands/boyfriends only to have him show up at her door and put her in the hospital or even kill her.... Sad

Yeah nothing more than a false sense of security it's sad. A piece of paper cannot do much it only helps if the police are right there otherwise it's not worth the paper it's printed on.

That's just it? Why would any woman think that it's her fault she's being abused? That's what doesn't make any sense to me because a man has absolutely no reason to abuse a woman no matter what she does. It's not her fault!

Fear really is a big problem. But you know, a woman can kill a man just as easily, killing someone is a very simple thing to do, yet men aren't really afraid of women are they? I understand the position many women are in but I also think that being corageous would change things around as has been proved.

being corageous is hard, especially if a person is already mentally abused.

ladysilverice · 04-01-2005, 06:15 PM

Most domestic abuse cases don't start with the beating part. It starts mentally where the abusee breaks down the abused's mental barriers. That person keeps forgiving each thing that's done to them even as they get worse and worse saying that the person still loves them. They make excuses for them saying they've just had a bad day or something. As time goes on, the accounts of abuse get gradually worse and worse, but the abused keeps forgiving them because they love them. Eventually, the abused is too afraid to tell someone either because they're afraid of more abuse, or they don't want to get the abuser in trouble.

Edit: Notice I didn't use gender, that was purposeful. I've known men to have been the abused as well as the abusee.
