nothing to instill in young girls that beatings from men mean good things and that its normal, like telling them this
:/

i always hated that shit

seriously..I dealt with some pretty bad shit from boys growing up..all being told this did was confuse me, and i ended up in an abusive relationship in the end till i figured out how to break the cycle and respect myself and find people who did the same.

Kids need to learn to be nice, and girls need to learn how to love themselves and find the right people. (which really makes me hate Twilight and 50 shades..its not just the shit "literature" its the dreamy fantasy relationships it gives women now days when really its just horribly abusive crap and should never be sought..)

THIS.

i was trapped in a 2 year long abusive relationship as well that i repeatedly couldnt get myself out of, i felt like i deserved the treatment and like it was normal stuff and i was being "a bitch about it". this guy abused me in every way a man can abuse a woman.

kids arent accountable, and it makes for shitty adults. your not raising a child, your raising a grown person. and they carry that on forever. those books you mention just reinforce the stone age ideal that women are only valued when in the hands of a man and does as shes supposed to. this perpetuated concept of inferiority and "its a natural part of being a woman"

its natural shit is what it is

yep.. I didnt try and leave him or tell anyone because i felt I was owned by him, I deserved it, its what I was raised to be. rape wasnt rape..it was him taking his property, me not cleaning enough was my failure as a woman, I didnt need a healthy life or friends or family..because at least I had a home and food so that was good right?

its bullshit..and I see too much of it. its all around us. this sick demeaning ..and not just rape culture.. just all culture. even towards men..gotta be tough, gotta be overly sexual, gotta control..or you arnt a MAN. and women have to be delicate pretty things..waxed and plastered with makeup as we work cheap jobs and keep the house up..gotta have babies by 20.

its wrong... i just wish i knew what to do about it. besides try and raise my little sis to be better than it all..

i felt the same way with him...i would rationalize it all, and i couldnt bring myself to act against it.

all we can DO about it, is raise the next generation smarter. there is no immediate fix for the deplorable state that gender roles are in, its going to be a long term fight

seems impossible with everyone having babies and obsessing over those books or stupid brainless celebrities only famous for being famous.. .__.

ah well..

abolishing outdated thinking like homo bashers, racists. it didnt happen in one generation..took a LONG time.

unfortunately we will not see it in our lifetime

I blame mass marketing, celebrities, and all those magazines that subliminaly tell people how they should act and look like. I hate all that bs with a passion. Trying to make women feel the need to be skinny as a mannequin and painted up as barbiedoll. As for us guys, they try to assume we all should be buff and look like complete neanderthals and act like morons, cause that's what today's women like....

Tomorrow you learn slash and kick that houndoom's tail!

then he really needs my dad as a mentor XP "remember son, the weak part is in the throat" and that is how I got my ass thrown into an academy XP

"...now, take this razor claw, and go show 'em you like him even more."

All the more reason, my children will know martial arts and discipline at a very YOUNG age. I want my little girl to put her first boyfriend who doesn't take "No" for an answer in traction. And I want my son, to protect those that need it

I been told that many times and I am in an abusive marriage and no way out for me. I have been speaking up since after marriage(since I didn't know he was abusive until after). I also been told I am not being abused that he is only 'trying' to catch my attention when he threatens my life.

...oh...it was reading the other comments that I realized that this was related to this pic.

Because indoctrination. (theoretically not too relevant to just this picture follow up, but she could have been told how to try and beat him instead :P Whatever now was effective against dark x3)

Ya o agree that saying is terd ible. It teaches nothing

parenting fail...

Might actually have some basis in the Pokemon context, but Pokemon is severely messed up anyway the more you think about it. I mean, in the Safari Zone, you throw rocks at Pokemon. Rocks! What do you think that's gonna do?

LOVE ME!! *THONK THONK* :C Y U NO LOVE ME YET?! *throws more rocks*

wow that's definitely bad experience.
