Honestly, every shitty relationship I’ve ever been in , people have always had nice things to say about the guys who are carrying out the crappy behaviour.
And when I’ve seen and heard abuse stories about other men towards women, there’s always a load of people saying well she gave as good as she got, or he’s always been lovely to me and so on.
it’s absolutely shocking to see so called relationship experts condone or excuse this crap, it’s no wonder we are such a fucked up species with all this misogyny, racism, ableism etc ‘trickling down’ from every so called authority in the land, from politicians, royals, medical experts, media, educators etc.
i know this is just a crappy mindless tv show but it is still heavily perpetuating this rhetoric that men are just trying their hardest and sweet best and that women are demanding harridans who are never satisfied .
everything is about division and keeping people in their place
