Some women are just STUPID.
It has become apparent that the time has come for me to take a moment and rant about STUPID women. I was watching Maury (the talk show) the other day (yes, I was bored) and there were these four REALLY pathetic women on there who had abusive husbands. Their husbands blatantly beat them (even in front of their children), called them degrading names and told them they were fat and ugly . . . SOME of the women even had CURFEWS! What were the women's excuses for staying with their verbally AND physically abusive husbands? They "loved" them. After hearing the FIRST woman make the pathetic whimpering excuse of "I can't leave him . . . I love him . . . " I almost threw something at the TV in total exasperation. What is WRONG with these women? Do they think they aren't worthy of a peaceful and abuse-free existence? Do they think they can't LIVE without a man--even an abusive one--to bring money in? Sometimes I just want to SCREAM at these kind of waify women--on television AND in real life.
If these women would just THINK about the statements they make in trying to defend their staying with abusive partners, they MIGHT be able to detect the stupidity in them. Consider the statement, "I love him," for instance. What EXACTLY is there to love about an abusive man? He hits you, you're scared of him, he gives you a freaking CURFEW, he calls you "bitch" and "slut" and--my personal favorite--calls you fat. Gee, does THAT sound like a catch! It's so EASY to see how one could LOVE someone that wonderful (a little sarcasm there)!
After the "I love him" excuse, the next most commonly used protest is, "He wasn't like that before . . . I know he'll change someday . . . " No, no, NO! If the man is yelling and beating her, he's changed for the BAD! And, whether or not he'll ever go back to "the way he used to be" is highly unlikely, and I wouldn't want to wait around getting bruised and battered to find out. The bottom line is that, sure, she might have loved him when he was NORMAL . . . but he isn't normal anymore, therefore he's not the same man she fell in love with.
The third most common excuse I hear from the pathetic women is, "But we have children together . . . " I must say, children are probably the least stupid of stupid excuses to stay with an abusive husband . . . but it's a stupid excuse nonetheless. What kind of example does a crazy abusive father give a child? Um . . . that would be a BAD example. If a man beats his wife, it's only a matter of time before his child makes him mad and he starts beating THEM too . . . and children just don't need to be put through that kind of danger when there's a way to get out of it. They would be better off NOT having a father than having to live with an abusive one.
Abusive husbands are definitely at fault for their wives' and children's misery, but--and I cannot stress this enough--the women who choose to stay with them are JUST as at fault. There are WAY too many help organizations these days for women to ever have to be AFRAID to leave. There are WAY too many job options and financial help organizations to EVER have to depend on an abusive man for money. Spouse abuse just SHOULDN'T HAPPEN! There's no excuse ANY woman can make for being stupid enough to stay with an abusive man, and no way any woman can change one . . . trying to is just a lose-lose situation.
