So it may be the lesser of two evils, and you may not have a choice, because of money and economics. In a lot of abusive relationships, the man oftentimes makes sure that the woman is isolated, so she has nowhere to go. They re not like women that we talk out our problems, and we communicate with each other, and we lean on each other for support. A lot of times men just have nowhere to go, and they get overwhelmed, and they just act out, and they re not responsible for their actions. I mean they should be, but they just kind of go off the deep end.
Society plays a huge role.
Guys are seen as being aggressive, through sports, through coaches or their dads. They re told, You need to be a real man. Not that it s encouraged, but it s accepted, that men are dominant, and that men are aggressive. A lot of girls are confusing being assertive, having their way and being loud and in charge with having self-esteem. Having self-esteem is being comfortable with yourself.
