“It is important to note that research has shown that men who have abusive mothers do not tend to develop especially negative attitudes toward females, but men who have abusive fathers do; the disrespect that abusive men show their female partners and their daughters is often absorbed by their sons. So while a small number of abusive men do hate women, the great majority exhibit a more subtle-though often quite pervasive-sense of superiority or contempt toward females, and some don't show any obvious signs of problems with women at all until they are in a serious relationship.” MenImportantShowsProblemMotherHateFatherNumbersAttitudeSeriousSonResearchDaughterNegativeFemaleMajorityNotesObviousPartnersSubtleContemptSuperiorityExhibitsDisrespectAbusiveSmall NumbersNegative AttitudeAbusive FatherSerious Relationship Author:Lundy Bancroft
