@opallauryn: Replying to @Stilkat Memory 🏳️‍🌈 throughout the years my activism caused so many fights. It was always about control. I wish I would have listened to my body, not just the words he said. #coercivecontrol #patriarchy #men #relationships #healing

My ex fiance was also progressive and I had a similar experience. I’m just glad I’m not alone. I also broke up with him last summer so I’ve had a lot of unpacking. Healing is nonlinear. I would like to DM you to share more of my story :)

Now looking back I can see the fights around my activism, standing up for myself, and speaking up were all about control. They were some of our most common arguments. I still grieve so much of that self I lost in this relationship. Never ever again 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I think the main thing I’ve taken from your most recent videos is that abuse isn’t always deliberate. I’m sure that sometimes it is, but sometimes it comes from conditioning, as you say. In some ways that must make it harder because it’s so tempting to think “if I can just find a phrase that will get thru to him and make him understand”.

This is one of the many reasons I’m divorced, had the same dynamic with my ex husband and his fam. He’d never stand up for me, even when he agreed with me 🤷‍♀️

There are feminist posters from the 1970s that say basically “he may be a communist, but does he do the dishes?” It’s so disappointing for men to still have the exact same problems 50 years later.

The brother was groomed to just “sit there and take it” no matter what a grown man does to him. So he will do eveyrhing he can to avoid being the target of an abusive male family member. He’s the male version of a pick me woman who’s been taught to enable, coddle, ignore, support, and hide everything abusive male family members do. It extends into their peers and coworkers and they will coddle abusers in the work place and attack women and children for being victim’s of those men time and time again. It’s a typical narcissistic family dynamic that is highly dependent on very narrow gender stereotypes & roles in order for abusive men to maintain power and control over men, women and children. That’s how religion operates and does not stop once individuals remove themsleves from said religions/churches and will continue to perform to the demands on said religion/churchs bc they lack self awareness and assume their childhood was normal/healthy/good. They maintain the stunted delusions they were taught as children and never mentally grow out of that bc of fear. Hence how the patriarchy continues. Both men and women continue performing to the stadards they were groomed into thinking is normal sadly.

Agreed. I’d expand it out too that a lot of democrat voters are also just as m1sogynistic, rac1st, and homophobic as maga. Both men and women, esp yt men and women
