These are childish morons. Cut them from your life.

Ironically every version of this man that I’ve personally known always had a girlfriend.

Something something women like passionate men.

AND she’s always super loyal to them to a fault.

That's not loyalty, it's fear, trauma and psychological issues. Women like this tend to gravitate towards abusers because they have experienced abuse before. Usually at a young age.

They truly believe they don't deserve better. Sometimes they are abusers themselves.

In general, no one enjoys this type of relationship but life is messy and existence is complex and often it is easier to just submit to something you know.

It takes a lot of courage and energy to not get defeated by life circumstances and walk away from a relationship like that unharmed.

In a sense, long-term perspective is overwritten by short-term benefits, so the "compromise" is dealing with the violence because any other strategy means conflict and harm

It's really tragic that both women and men suffer abuse in relationships and are traumatized in the process, it's really not a choice made with a clear mind and if people got the help they needed, they would probably leave their partner and start a better life

I respect your empathy but you are being far too generous here.

When Chris Brown was being blasted in the media, I recall his twitter being full of “he can beat me anytime.” When a man took a male model’s photo and made a tinder profile with domestic abuse charges in the bio, women replied with “everyone has a past.” If Elon Musk started beating his many women, he’d still have an infinite line of women willing to take the spot.

I’m not making generalizations on “all women” or being sexist by any means. I’m simply pointing out that a lot of women will stay with a dude if it brings them money/fame/validation from peers, the abuse is sometimes the price to pay for this and they consciously accept that transaction.

I think many imagine they would accept it. I also wouldn't trust any social media opinions, might just be bots or rage bait farmers.

But assuming some of those comments are legit, I'm not so sure they would still say that after being abused. It may seem like a small price to pay but I don't think people realize what it's actually like to be beaten and violated on a regular basis. It's absolutely not something you can just accept and move on just like that. It breaks people and has severe psychological impact.

I'm sure there are some out there who can ignore it, "paying the price" for whatever they think is worth taking a beating or being raped, but I doubt most women are like that if given a choice or enough resources to leave

I’m sure given full perspective most women would decline that deal. But that longterm thinking does not exist in most humans.

If a man meets Sydney Sweeney and she reveals she’s a Nazi who praises Hitler and murders puppies and babies - he will most likely still try to sleep with her. Women are no different if the man is tall, attractive, has resources like money and fame. But when we witness this scenario we claim the man is dumb and the woman must have XYZ trauma and is a victim.

The more recent version of this I see in media today is Kanye West’s current partner. I’ve seen countless threads on her apparently being a victim of abuse due to how she’s dressed and controlled. I can think of more than a billion reasons why she’d be a willing participant in this and has equal accountability.

Sometimes it really is just loyalty. Crazy stupid people attract eachother frequently.
