Re: Venting thread- I've been struggling not to hate my husband.

nayrt, but there is much more social pressure on women to “fix” their partners (regardless of the partner’s gender) than there is on men. Women are supposed to be the nurturing, forgiving, self-effacing ones in the relationship.

Abusive relationships are a different matter. Until she reaches Alex Forrest or Annie Wilkes levels, abusive women are still largely seen as quirky or funny and men who are abused by women are frequently not believed or seen as weak.

nayrt - This. Women also face a lot more social pressure to tolerate toxic behavior in their male partners, to be peacemakers, to sacrifice for the sake of not rocking the boat. This isn't to say that men never face these pressures. But anyone who thinks that the pressures are the same on both genders is very naive, at best.

This sexism cuts both ways, which also results in marital abuse committed by women not being taken seriously. Guess who's mostly not taking it seriously, though? Other men.
