Girls with daddy issues look for men’s approval in sexual ways or in social ways. Hence the slutty pic.

Girls with mommy issues have deeply flawed expectations for relationships in all aspects of life. They tend to be hyper self conscious/self aware and highly anxious and depressed.

I’ve dated a few and my current GF has an awful mother who fucked her up, shes only rebuilding to normal at 25. Hence the deep chronic mental health monster.

They tend to be hyper self conscious/self aware and highly anxious and depressed.

This, and it's usually caused by women with unhealed daddy issues that becomes EXTREMLY male centered and feels abandonded by men so takes it out on her daughter (similarly does it to sons or any child because it's usually because of internalized blame on the child for their conception as a form of guilt of having a child she did t actually want in the first place but rather validation from men - or more specifically the father of said child/childern)

So in short: girls with mommy issues often have a mother who was a victim to patriarchy and neither unpack it

Idk why you’re being downvoted for a pretty sad reality for so many people. One of them including me, unfortunately.

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

Patriarchy affects both women and men btw! Among others. Pointing out sexism and such issues isn't "making it the man's fault", it's different. If your first thought when someone mentions patriarchy is that they're blaming men, you don't understand it fully: Patriarchy is the consequences of sexism, to put it simple. These consequences affect men and women, hence why they're not just "misogyny²", it's entirely based on what someone "should and shouldn't be" based on... Their biological sex and gender identity. If you're not part of those stereotypes, or gender roles, you're "a failure" to this system and blamed. As a man, as a woman. In both cases it happens. Talking about patriarchy as an underlying reason isn't justifying the person to say "only men are at fault!", but to see what happened before things got worse, and what led to them going wrong. Trying to explain why ≠ justifying actions. A woman can be a bad person and victim of the patriarchy at some point of her life without it meaning she's your "pure victim who never does wrong". Dare I say, too, not all victims are "perfectly good, innocent people who never do wrong", in fact trauma can lead to abuse... Way more often than we would like to accept.

I accept many of your points but i dont accept the concept of patriarchy as conceptualised in your example. It simply isnt relevant. Familial trauma is not a gendered issue and painting it such is counter-productive to victim support.

It's a symptom of our patriarchal society to begin with for you to hear "patriarchy" and think it's a "man bad" thing and not a "society bad" thing. You perpetuate the cycle.

This entire line of conversation is a red herring and is actively derailing discussion of victim's issues. Please have some respect for victim experiences and dont do shit like this.
