Woman bashing

[Poptart4]

There's a story in the daily fail today of Angelina Jolie talking about her divorce from Brad Pitt. Firstly I'm no Angelina fan and was definitely on Team Jennifer back in the day BUT....

AIBU to be so annoyed with how people blindly defend Brad and blame Angelina for their divorce without knowing anything about their relationship?

The story is basically Angelina saying she divorced him for the sake of the children's wellbeing. Considering there have been many rumours for years about Brad's drinking and weed smoking. Rumours Brad himself has admitted to, why is Angelina still getting the blame for their divorce? The comments section is full of vitriol towards her. And saint Brad can do no wrong.

This is a man who publicly cheated on his wife (Jennifer) humiliating her in front of the whole world. And who obviously has addiction problems. He also allegedly assaulted one of the kids while drunk or high which what has led to Angie divorcing him.

Why do people choose to over look this mans faults?

And it's not just with these two, I've seen similar happen to woman I know in real life. People automatically assuming the poor man just had to get away from his nagging shrill of a wife. Not knowing the abuse (financial, emotional or physical) the poor wife has put up with for years.

I find woman to be the worst woman bashers too.

AIBU to be so sick of it?

BP is clearly a self absorbed substance addict and I pity the next women he gets involved with.

Mens bad behaviour is always womens fault.

DV.
She nagged.
She made me do it.
She caught me out on my lies.
She's cheating.
She was late with my dinner.
She talks back.

Rape.
She was drunk.
On her own.
Wore short skirt/revealing clothes.
She led me on.
She said yes.
She said no but she meant yes.
She's stuck up so deserved it.

Man murders children/commits suicide.
She kept my kids from me.
She didn't deserve them.
She destroyed my life.
She made me depressed.
She wanted to take all of my money for child support.
She introduced them to a new man.
Its her fault.

Depressing but truthful.

This exactly!

It’s awful. And often perpetuated by women as much as men.

Internal misogyny innit? When women are hateful towards other women for no discernible reason.

'Tis rife sadly.

[Mittens030869]

I agree, OP, it's very depressing. Just imagine if a poster on here started a thread about how her DH was drinking too much and smoking weed and she didn't want her DC to be around him. There would be a chorus of LTB responses.

Whatever people think about AJ being OW (I feel the same but don't particularly care about celebrity marriages), she clearly was thoroughly justified in her reasons for leaving BP in the circumstances.

YANBU he was married and she wasn’t. But they both got their just desserts eventually. Starting a relationship from an affair is never a wise move

If you're against misogyny, stop reading the Daily Mail.

It's cause Eve ate the apple, OP. Woman is the source of all sin.

Cultural socio-religious bullshit that still affects secular societies to this day.

Incredibly ironic too considering the source of all war, violence, pollution and greed (wealth) is the caused by (and the domain of) MAN.

Mostly, although the men who were accosted in the street with white feathers by women during the first world war might not agree. Or the Falklands with Thatcher.

Men are usually the source of war but it's mostly been men over years as the cannon fodder sent to their deaths.

This is not a violent act but its intention was to shame men into enlisting in WW1. The idea was founded by a man.

Or the Falklands with Thatcher.

Thatcher was one woman surrounded by an establishment founded and controlled by men.

But it's mostly been men over years as the cannon fodder sent to their deaths.

Yep, war started, and sent, by other men. But this is changing with woman now on the frontlines.

Now it's equal opportunity death on the frontlines in wars controlled by men.

I cringe whenever I see Team whoever... I think if we can stop taking sides of total strangers relationships then that would be a great start.
