I'm worried about the Relationship board

[TheButterflyOfTheStorms]

I've been looking at some threads recently and I'm worried. There's one at the moment about a woman asking if her DH assaulted her. It's been post after post attacking her (admittedly silly) actions before the assault.

Relationships seems more and more anti-woman and less supportive about naming violence and abuse.

Is it because everywhere is AIBU now or is it some sinister plot to disempower women? I really am noticing more misogyny on the board.

I think she sounds bloody annoying and no of course her husband shouldn't have gripped her arm like that but wtf was she thinking? Panicking about a few crisps on the floor and putting them all in danger!

She should NOT have reached round and he should not have hurt her arm.

Not a TAAT!

But I want to know in general if the Relationship board seems less supportive and more accepting of male violence.

I don’t think so. Maybe it’s just the threads I click on (I didn’t look at the one above) but I find they’re mostly really supportive. People are very quick to call out actual abuse or red flags and give very sound advice about what to do next. If only the OPs would listen...

And I’m sure that can be misconstrued as victim blaming. It just gets tiring when people put so much effort into trying to help and nothing comes of it.
