Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

For those at work the news article is here.
This is a really sad case. Men like this target their victims carefully and often go for vulnerable people. It can be a grooming process, and they slowly build a cage round her so she can't get out. Her and her baby deserved better.
I think you make a really good point about men often not changing. Abusive men tend to be totally selfish and don't accept they're wrong, making them resistant to change. Dysfunctional men often just don't do the work they need to do to function well. Many men just ignore the issue and hope it goes away.
Patriarchy really damages men. Showing emotion and getting MH support is seen as weakness. Abusive men have unrealistic expectations so are never truly happy. It destroys so much.
This is the worst part. A skilled abuser can groom a victim to the point she thinks his violence is HER fault. And other people saying "why don't you just leave him" are not helping.
Yes and it isn't asking a question its passing a judgement. It puts the ownership on the victim not the perp
