Why do women have no standards?

[deeter]

Yes, men and their actions are the fundamental problem. I'm not shifting blame. But why are so many women choosing abusive men that are red flags from the get go? I understand the practicalities of leaving a toxic, enmeshed situation is not easy. What can we teach our daughters to prevent this from reoccurring? Why are so many women afraid of being single?

Patriarchy and misogyny just about covers it.

From what I've witnessed, desperation - not being able to live without a partner - not wanting to be lonely, of course there's the charm trickery at the beginning, captivates you then boom, why are we programmed to fall for that shizzle?
