“Are we being punished for choosing to deal with them? For being girlfriends, wives and mothers? For forgiving them and offering the same second chances over and over and over again?

They have given up on us a long time ago. Is it finally time to follow suit?”

Whenever women are victims of their male partners, through abuse, heartbreak, and even murder, the blame always falls on the woman.

But why? That’s been the question on my mind lately. Of course I can provide an answer that will have feminists cheering me on, but perhaps something deeper is going on. We witness this with the rise of social media, where the destructive masculine is nurtured and freed through the manosphere.

No matter how careful and cautious a woman is, whenever she faces the wrath of a man gone wild the fingers are pointed at her. Maybe this is a stretch, but are these judgmental ass people on to something?

Are women guaranteeing their own misery and possibly signing their death certificates by continuing to deal with men? By choosing to always see the best in them as a collective? By telling themselves that a decent man will come along and make their impatient waiting, prayers, and crossed fingers worth it?
