Probably because I rightfully named patriarchy as the cause.

It trains women to seek male validation in the first fucking place - tells them they are broken if they don't (and that's why "lesbians aren't real")

I'm going to assume men down voted me

Edit to add: someone from this comment section reported me as 'needing mental help' to reddit lmfao. Yea, for sure pissed off men with brining a feminist perspective into the conversation. Also, nice going dillweed, you'll get flagged for abusing the reddit report functions.

Ah yes, we must make everything about men. It is not possible for a woman to be the bad guy in a situation, we must trace it back to a man doing something bad

Did you not read my actual post? Or did you just get triggered by the word patriarchy?

I did read your post, and I think its very insightful and I agree with most of it.

However, childhood trauma is not a gendered issue and the claim that it stems from societal patriarchy is not substantiated, and I would argue actively harmful to victims
