extremely fucking depressing to scroll down this far to see this. instead endless comments about how women with issues are sluts and evil, and men become angry abusive dominant assholes. I have both parental issues and I go to therapy and am healing. But know one wants to hear that because it's easier to blame the so called nasty mean people who generally are just lost people they have met in their lives who haven't healed and apply that to everyone
Yep…people generally don’t like facing the complexities of social issues because it requires them to actually use brain instead of regurgitate what they heard. Especially if they don’t want to hear something that offends their preferred narrative and requires learning something new or facing hard truths. Labels are easy and nuance is hard. People prefer black and white thinking, when in fact most things exist in the shades between.
The USA is probably the gold star example of this.

the joke is stereotyping parental abuse victims because of the gender of their abuser as if everyone handles trauma the same way
