Is it Woke to care about women?

i think that men simply do not understand the extent of female socialisation just as we probably do not fully understand men.

btw why do misogynists partner? Why do these damaged men seek partners ?

none of us know all the answers but we all have opinions.

men are just like women in that we think we understand better than anybody else. this is however dependent on the degree of actual knowledge, insight or understanding.

we might as well ask why misanthropic women choose relations with men who will abuse them. and there are misanthropic women. I suspect you to be one who holds such a view.

imo haters need a reason to hate although 90+% of this is buried underneath all the socialised beliefs in things like "White Wedding" and "he'll change, and I can change him". haters who don't realise their ability to hate need someone to identify as the target of their hatred.

but will sex is great and the feeling such sex inspires, often enough called "love", the unconscious hatred will remain buried until the sex loses it impetus, its motive in the relationship. then the claws come out.... remembering of course that all tigers have claws, male tigers are as fierce and female tigers until the female has kittens, then the female anger and fear of the male becomes overpowering.

kindly remember these are just my opinion based on decades of experience and as valid as your own opinions. the labels used are merely a convenience to enable the transfer of the concepts and are not intended to be definitive. in other words, keep you reactions in check and address the points, not the person.

misanthropic women are the ones that look for abusive partners?
are you actually serious? Do you know what you are writing

so women who hate men look for a man to abuse them?

I can scarcely believe I am reading this comment

for a man who started a thread - and has started other threads on this same topic of family violence - all you have done is confirm my thoughts that you seem increasingly like a man who is right into virtue signalling

add that to the dismissal of a females lived experience while supposedly empathising with a man’s experience, lecturing me on empathy, and then telling me that your experiences and views are as valid as my own - well you’ve done a fine job of another emotive response

of course your views of lived experience are valid. And if you acknowledge that we may all have different views then leave off getting huffy when I disagree with you. I am not the one who needs reminding that people have different views or difficulty in accepting that.

My views are not simply informed by my own experience however. I worked in the family violence sector for sometime and was exposed to formal research, different models of response, and plenty of exposure to the mind sets and attitudes of perpetrators

kindly remember - you are aware that starting a sentence like that is both patronising and an attempt to belittle. I don’t think you are quite aware of how patronising you regularly sound nor of how very obvious it is when you have an emotional response to something I have written - when I disagree with you

try Plato’s view on virtue maybe for your afternoon reading
