I say women deserve all the respect that men get

Answer 1

I think some women stay because in some cases they have grown horribly reliant on the man, emotionally and financially. The man will usually isolate the woman form her family and friends. In some cases they have to choose between giving their children a place to stay and food to eat or being out on the streets. it is an extremely difficult place to be in really. The answerer above me stated that they stay because they "like drama, sex or have brain damage". You obviously don't know a lot of women who have been in that situation. No one PLANS on getting beaten and raped in their relationships. Their dream man isn't their rapist and their abuser.
Overall, I think some women stay because they think the man will change, or they have no where else to go. Who are we, as people who have never been in that situation, to judge them?

Answer 2

I do believe that all women should get the respect they are due. I do not believe that women endure abuse from men because they are weaker. They endure it for many reasons, two come to the top of mind at this time. The first one is because of what she was taught growing up. Women who are from the older generation and has endured much abuse has endured it because they were taught at an early age that their husbands were the boss and they could do what they feel fit, even abuse. Women who aren't from the older generation, usually endure all kinds of abuse because they are always told they deserve it. That they did this or that and it's their fault.

What we women have to realize is that no matter what we do we don't deserve any type of abuse whether it be emotionally, verbal, physical, etc. We should be respected in all aspects because we are a person, we have feelings and we are just as deserving as men.

Answer 3

Some women have been raised to believe their sole purpose and value in life is landing a man. So they seek one and get one and place all their self worth into how that man acts toward them. They then put up with a bunch of crap because they think they deserve it and they do not know their value in life. I don't think it is because they are weak. I think it is because they are unaware of how strong and valuable they truly are.

Answer 4

I always think that they stay in those relationships because they love drama, the sex, or have brain damage.

On the other end of the spectrum, what about the wives the physically abuse their husbands? Why are they not held to the same standard as the men that abuse their wives?

Answer 5

My father said, when I got married, ``don`t ever try to beat your wife, cause you have to sleep sometime, and they have those big knives in the kitchen drawer.`` So what`s keeping the woman who is being mistreated from doing just that?
