@haleykloha: Apparently a bunch of people on this app can’t recognize coercion. A big reason for that is romantic refraction, when the media convinces you abusive dynamics are actually love. #coercivecontrol #abuse #domesticabuseawareness #violence #education
I hate that trope of when a woman says no that the man tries harder and then he does succeed

Took me a long time to realize that Ross was that “Nice Guy” archetype who abused his male privilege and violated Rachel’s boundaries. 💯😩😏

The Ferris wheel scene definitely came across as manipulation. I also didn’t see the movie until I was in my 20s

It’s funny because I always knew it was messed up before I understood why. When I was a kid, this type of “love” stressed me out and made my skin crawl when I watched the movies

Coercion can often start in the home when girls are growing up. It starts when parents don’t allow their daughter’s agency.

This is so important. As someone who experienced coercion at a young age, we absolutely need to talk to our children about what it means and what it looks like.

Yes AND even deeper than media conditioning, for many the religion they’re raised in is the original trauma bond, or trauma-coerced attachment: “Love me freely, OR ELSE!” -God

Precisely why I hate romantic movies/shows that try to convince people this manipulative behavior is normal & acceptable

All if the Disney plots, little house on the prairie, Gen X has been getting a terrible message about love for 50+ years

I thought this when I watched voicemails from Annabelle and everyone was gushing over it and all I could think about is how he lied and manipulated her in the beginning

I think I’ve only watch the notebook once, and I’ve always felt a bit off with how they started that relationship and just didn’t get why people were obsessed with that film, wish I had that gut instinct in real life 🤦🏻♀️

beet0043nfw :
but... what does (for example) threatening to drop yourself from a ferris wheel have to do with the voice note? what element of the voice note would you compare to that...?

I wonder if romantic refraction is also found in all the smut women read...
if that gives women the wrong idea of what love or romance looks like. seems like it is...

David Ring :
it's funny cause the majority of movies you listed were based on romance novels written by women, and made popular very largely, by women. like twilight, 50 shades of gray. that must be while this is neutral and not attacking the entire male population as a whole.

Sofy :
as children, we’re literally pushed and taught the notion that men’s violence = interest/love… “oh he’s teasing/bullying her because he has a crush on her” right so we should just casually accept negging? HELL NO, it’s all propaganda once you see it

My husband always says ‘men have to win the girl’ . And that behavior is reinforced their entire life with sports- watching or playing- the whole goal is to win! And the language they use such as kill the competition !!!! Or Don’t take No for an answer!!! Or Are you going to let ‘( someone else) tell you what you can or can’t do? …. Their whole life is spent this way.
