“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

“I got into my first serious relationship with a man when I was twenty-three.

“It was fun figuring out the science of the world as much as we wanted to figure out, and then playing fast and loose in other places. Which we do with our show in general.
