As a woman, you have the ability to reward behavior in a man with your attention and access to intimacy. If you are stuck in a violent relationship - you've no one to blame but yourself - this is a pill to swallow. Think about what kind of man you reward with extra confidence. Intimate attention from a woman has an amplifying effect. It will make a great man greater, a narcissist more self-absorbed, and a bully more violent. Think about whose energy you're choosing to upgrade - all the responsibility is on you because women hold the power of choice. I always tell young men - you don't need to change how the women of the world think, or what they believe in. You just need to find ONE that's great for you. Forget about everyone else. Toxic women, of course, hate this advice - because it denies them attention and simps. ![[IMG_3510.jpeg]] Women don't commit forcible crimes - they commit (by current judiciary standards) non-quantifiable crimes, such as: psychological violence, economic subterfuge, deception, emotional abuse, manipulation, familial hostage-taking. This is why there's no such stat for female crime. And the only reason why women don't commit as much forcible crime is because they do not hold the upper hand in direct, physical confrontation and violence. Yet they commit equal (if not more) amounts of crime in line with where they can use their weakness as a bargaining tool. The difference here is "predominantly". Yes, men do these too - yet they will go for forcible crime more often as they can overpower their victims. Women commit forcible crime as well but, of course, but predominantly they will go for mental gymnastics and gradual sabotage. Bringing financial ruin to a man's life is "ethical misconduct"? So if you poured poison in a cup your husband was very likely to drink - that'd be classified as an "unfortunate accident" by your logic? Psychological abuse is THE PRIMARY PREDICTOR BY ANY RESEARCH for violence.
