“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

“A father would do well, as his son grows up, and is capable of it, to talk familiarly with him; nay, ask his advice, and consult with him about those things wherein he has any knowledge or understanding. By this, the father will gain two things, both of great moment. The sooner you treat him as a man, the sooner he will begin to be one; and if you admit him into serious discourses sometimes with you, you will insensibly raise his mind above the usual amusements of youth, and those trifling occupations which it is commonly wasted in.” IfsMenMindWellsTwoSometimesMomentsAsksFatherGrowsUnderstandingGrowing UpAdviceYouthSeriousSonCapableGainsTreatsRaisesTwo ThingsOccupationUsualDiscourseAmusementTriflingGreat Moments Author:John Locke
