Gotta love the Amazing Atheist, he raises a powerful point. I was in quite a few verbally abusive relationships where if I would yell at my girlfriend her friends are like "SHAME ON YOU!" but whenever she'd yell at at me they're like "You deserved it". I hardly did anything to her, she had some mad anger problems!

@Ar0474 Feminisits constantly bitch about how hard women have it, but in many ways it's not a rose garden for men either, and some of thouse problmes are directly caused by soceity's stance on women, as discussed in this video, when is ostensibly the cause of these so called "womens rights" issues.

It makes me wish I had the power to experiance being born and living as a woman just so that I can give an opinon with a certain level of objectivity on which sex genuinly has it better.

@xXToYeDXx Cont. Besides, anyone who can be that easily programmed is stupid and desperately needs more self respect.

I'm aware of the gradual progression of psychological abuse. I was psychologically abused myself. But the only thing I blame her for is the abuse. I blame myself for not having the self respect to walk away. There's always two sides and we always have a choice. Realizing this has helped me make peace with my experience and able to move on. I don't mope about it.

@CowLunch I'm not defending abusers but failure to see early warning signs isn't an excuse. If one has enough self respect, he/she will not tolerate it period. And that's what it boils down to. To hell with self esteem. Self esteem is too easy to tear down. A single remark can sink your self esteem down the drink. Self respect however is harder to earn, and thus not so easily given up for anyone. With enough self respect anyone is capable of walking away from a toxic partner.

[CowLunch]

@xXToYeDXx We are talking about psychological conditioning. The reason someone would stay in an abusive relationship (whether physical or verbal) is because they've been conditioned to believe their life would be even worse if they left.

These things take gradual effect, abusers don't even start until they feel in control and then they constantly push the boundaries, bit by bit.

Look up the Stanford prison experiment.

[xXToYeDXx]

@CowLunch If that's true than give me one reason that you think would be good enough for anyone to stay with a verbally abusive partner.

If you can't answer that question honestly than yes, yes I can say that.

[CowLunch]

@xXToYeDXx Well you don't know what the circumstances might be. You can't just say that someone's stupid for putting up with verbal abuse.

[xXToYeDXx]

@inusword I disagree. Our culture has gotten used to placing full blame on one, and only one, involved party. Ok, verbal abuse isn't right, I agree here, but staying with a verbally abusive person long enough for that kind of damage to happen is called stupidity. Any man or woman in verbally abusive relationship, just like physically abusive relationships, need to take responsibility for themselves and leave said abusive relationship. Nobody who can be called an adult is helpless.

[inusword]

Real Verbal abuse can be as bad as physical abuse because, a person that is verbaly/mentaly abused over time can be destroyed, thats why I say ther is few to none of real verbal abuse in the USA cuz real verbal abuse leave scar so deep it never goes away, and it takes years upon years to get right frame of mind back again.

@Ar0474

Raises a Powerfull point,

*If you now what i mean*

[Contevent]

Interesting point, (I missed that there was no man abused in the picture) but I do not share the opinion that verbal abuse is the same as physical.

It is not because the harm is less apparent that it is not there. Physical abuse can be more subtle than punchs, and verbal more violent than calling names. Of course, except when you are driven to suicide, verbal doesn't kill, but it can ruin someone, badly.

If someone say it is the same thing, he is wrong, but the damage can still be serious.

I just smile when I watch TAA, because it's so friggin true
