Yep.

(Although it's our mother who's the aggressor but it still affected how my sister and I see relationships. I avoid relationships like the plague and I'm also sure I'm asexual, too. I'm not one bit interested. I definitely never, ever want kids, either. Our parents, by their example, taught us what NOT to do. I don't want to chance ending up with an abuser. What if I meet someone very kind, only for them to flip a switch and become abusive after we say "I do" and I'm stuck living with that? Nope. Not worth the risk).

[@veritasvanburen_]

Patriarchy truly is schizophrenic. It punishes women for not meeting the demands of men, that those men themselves made impossible in the first place. They call women and girls whose virginity was taken via a rape ‘damaged goods’, ‘impure’, ‘soiled’, they overwork and underappreciate their wives and then are surprised when she’s too stressed to play the role of the happy spouse. Such men are the literal cause of everything they don’t like about women. It’s truly sinister.

Thank you for the sentence "purity lies in the heart, not in our bodies" - as the survivor of extreme sexual violence, I have always been seen as "filth" and have never found a husband.

Please do not impose these ideas onto me or my fellow Australians: we have fought and work too hard for too long to be exposed to archaic ideas. Damage to the local female community of Australians needs to be bought into the light when it comes to migration... most people don't discriminate because of skin colour... its these attitudes they dislike.

[@mssiggypiggy]

@user-uq9yo7if5g Actually, that just sounds racist. The vast majority of domestic abuse, violence against women, deaths and homelessness in Australia is driven by white Australian men - not by migrants. It's also unnervingly common in the Aboriginal community - and the underlying reasons for this come from white colonisation and mistreatment. Please don't pretend that you have no chauvinism or misogyny issues in the white community - your daughters are most likely to be exposed to it from white men, not migrants. There are so many issues with what you've written and the blame you're placing squarely on migrants. I'm not denying there are issues with refugees from certain countries - but I live in a predominantly white area and the issues and attitudes I see here are just as insane. There are absolutely issues to be addressed across the board, but they exist here with or without migrants.
