My dad would always do that: pretend he didn't know how to do something around the house in order to get my mom to do it, or pretend not to understand how his behavior could be perceived as insulting in order to not take accountability for what he did. The best decision my mom made was kicking him out, it was like a heavy shadow left our house and we were happier.

this is my feminine rage song. i’ve grown up watching my mother carry our family on her back. my dad did work, he did. and im grateful for him. but my mom worked too- and then came home to take care of the house, the kids, the food, the laundry, the cleaning. i dont know how she did it for so long. for years. im so glad im an adult now so she can finally take a break and i can take care of her. the rage in me is against society, and myself who realized later than i should have and was brainwashed to thinking that this was normal, a given. it shouldnt be. ladies, women, girls- *it shouldnt be.*

[@shotoxx7608]

Let's talk about it, please allow me to add my two cents in this conversation. Maybe something to think about. First of all, I'm grateful that your emotional maturity doesn't release in a form of hatred towards your dad, but rather it releases as a form of compassion and sympathy for your mom that she wholeheartedly deserves. But maybe consider this: What if that was the life she wanted? And her reward is simply her children's acknowledgement, which may I assume she got plenty of. That's the ultimate "trophy". She did a little extra, and therefore you love her a little extra. Many people's love language is act of service. Furthermore, what you are describing as "an ideal relationship" is nothing more than co-dependency which on paper seems reasonable but in practice it's sickening & miserable. Love isn't about equality, love has nothing to do with the way chores are divided. and once you have found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, trust me you don't have time to spend thinking about how many days in a row you had to make dinner. If you are complaining about chores being divided unequally, you are not in love. It doesn't matter who takes the trash out, or does the dishes. All of them could be done by one person. What matters is whether healthy foundations for the relationship is set. Imagine you dad complaining about him doing "100% of the plumbing, 100% of law mawning and most of the driving on family trips" since he moved in with your mother. When was the last time your father received a little gift of appreciation? Such as a bracelet, a mug or even flowers(yeah)? When was the last time he had the whole check covered by your mother(or you, if you are employed) in a restaurant? Did you guys celebrate father's day last year if so what have you planned for this year? The last time you kissed or hugged him? Asked for his advice or listened to what he had to say? In my opinion once you move past the feminine rage, that is based on trivia things you'll be able to love and be loved.

[@cielonehellofaservicedog4648]

​​​@@shotoxx7608 it wasn't the life she wanted...did u read they said their mother worked just like the father during the day, but when they got home she was EXPECTED to do the housework and rearing, that is a reality bashed into little girls minds since the time they can even pick up a baby doll. It isn't a want when u are brainwashed into thinking it is an expectation, yet it is ruining ur health, rest, and sleep when the other person in the relationship is working in the main market equally, but refuses to do so in the private market of the household. And it is indeed LOVE when ur partner, who is male, in a cis hetero relationship, shows he is responsible for household and children. Some of us have icks, that we hate, so it is also healthy and LOVE to have communication and to be able to divide up chores equitably, equality can be felt when partners have equity in the work that needs to be done to be in such a relationship with kids. You admit service is a love language, then in the same breath claim it isn't love. You are so confused, maybe u are just a child who lacks life experience, but JFC at least notice when u contradict urself. And the final paragraph is just showing ur misogynistic and sexist view of the world. Men get cards, they get father's day, they get father Christmas presents, they have their kids ask what to do (if they as a father are actually emotionally intelligent enough not to be a toxic masc man who cuts his own kids from him cause he shows aggression or oppression of "soft" emotions, like so many do), etc. He gets kisses when he gets home, haven't u ever heard of the line "Honey welcome home! 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨😘", before? Your questions at the end is clear u don't even understand history nor gender roles pressed onto us all, particularly from Christian trad gender roles. Asking "what about him" is whataboutism and it is just a distraction and pick me behavior. Do better

[@Untied.Shoelaces]

My mother dated a man for 8 months at 17, her parents decided that they did not want to take care of her anymore and signed her off to marry him at 17. He was abusive to her, first it was verbally and then he got physical. He did things like hitting her randomly to ripping off her clothes because he did not like them. And during all of this she was still in school. She started to see a counselor that would come in for her, the counselor the. showed her the statistics that people (male or female) who want to marry before 1 or 2 years of dating is abusive, when my mother heard this everything started to make sense to her. She ended her first marriage off and divorced him but she did give birth to his child(my oldest sister let’s call her J). A year and a half later, my mother has been dating another man and gives birth to her second child (his first and my older sister and let’s call her A). She then married that same man who becomes the father to J (by adopting her).When A is four years old ,my mother announces that she will have another baby (AKA me). My mother has told each of us this story because she doesn’t want us to fall into her fate of abusive relationships. My mother is the strongest person in the world, I have no words to describe the relief that she made it out alive and the appreciation for what she sacrificed for us. And she is treated correctly by my dad, or else he would have three girls hunting him down 😂. I also understand how it feels to have someone close to you to die, what u can say is your mother is looking down at you from heaven and is proud

I do--I do feel it in my bones. I heard a shortened clip and immediately came here to find the whole song. It echoes so many stories, old and new that you read about women. And I grew up with a kind father who did a lot of the housework and I'm lucky to have a good husband who does more than his fair share (because I've fallen ill) but I also know many women who don't have this and it gives me the chills. So many women are abandoned when they become sick, I consider myself very lucky. This is a song about most women throughout all of time. I sent a link to my daughter because even if she doesn't experience many of the lyrics in this song herself it's important to recognize it's pretty much a universal condition 🥺

This makes me think of my grandma. She was so beautiful and she caught my grandpas eyes and he gave her no choice that she was “his”. Had her first child at 17 and then 8 other pregnancies afterwards, two of which didn’t make it. Abused and made to fend for herself and children while my grandpa drank and only came home to beat her. She survived and my mom talks about to to this day. About how strong she was and how persevering she was. She never gave up. They lived in a house with no running water on the country side of our community. She survived. She has a hard life. Nothing but serving people and a God that paid her no mind. She had the purest heart and lived a life of suffering. She moved onto the next part of her journey almost 3 years ago now. Wherever she is I hope she’s being the bad ass warrior she is. I take peace knowing she’s free from this hell of a world we live in now.

Knew a lady who's mom escaped horrible abuse, she was Canadian and caught a plane to Hawaii but had no money. Pearl Harbor happened a week after she got there! They needed help and she strapped the baby to her back and tended to soldiers and she ended up becoming a beloved doctor in Honolulu. She lived to almost 100. I met her a few times and she was a hero to me, she just ran away and her life opened in the most awesome way!!! I feel sickened for all suffering abuse.

[@Evija3000]

The beginning sounds like my grandparents. She was very beautiful and gentle and he quickly married her. He ended up being a horrible abuser (not just beatings, but straight up torture, he'd been through kgb training). In stead of her having tons of kids though he made her have tons of abortions instead. They lived in deep poverty. Running away also wasn't very realistic because of his connections. It was too much for my grandma, she got an illness and refused to properly treat it ending in her early death. So she got the abusive side to the extreme, while my other grandma got the labor part to the extreme. She alone took care of a farm, her own three kids, a neglected neighbor's girl and sometimes other kids (like relatives or her kid's friends) while her drunk trucker husband was mostly away working or living with his second family. No running water, all meals from scratch, farm animals to take care of, gardens, fields, at one point she'd get into the plough and do the work of an ox ploughing the field because that was the only way to get it done. Her health plummeted in her 60s and now she doesn't recognize most of her family. My parents' marriage was also bad. So needless to say I'm very careful with my partner selection.

One can be proud of someone for their progress in becoming physically healthier when they were unhealthy before without disagreeing with the fact that they probably shouldn't have had unhealthy habits in the first place. I feel like it's just the same in this case. I don't think they were outright ignoring me, more like I had been encouraged to take on traditional responsibilities while growing up without question or complaint, and they were encouraged to see that as the norm, and for lack of contradiction, thought my contribution was wholly voluntary, and not simply what I had been taught was my responsibility. When they saw I was overwhelmed they would help even before we decided to focus on these things, but now we are communicating to avoid me getting overwhelmed in the first place. I am proud of them for having perfect intentions, if not perfect understanding. I don't feel abused or like they consider me less than a person in general.

"Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate." The artist makes a lot of references to this quote in probably my favorite way. The quote addresses the way the daughter will feel, but her song addresses how the mother is bright enough to realize what is happening and yet she still cannot save her daughter.

@@billc6952 we did not. As a young woman in a male dominated field, or even as a young woman in general, we did not get equality. Perhaps there were some legal safeguards, but what is required is a cultural belief in the equality of all people regardless of things like sex or gender. Most left leaning women aren't even demanding that much. They want equal pay to their male counterparts, extended parental leave for all parents when an infant enters a family, to be able to choose whether or not to keep a pregnancy before it's too late, and to just... Be seen as more than a sex object. They want a society that encourages division of labor within marriage that is determined by the couple with full agency on both sides and an eye towards whatever each excels in. If a leftist woman is feeling extra spicy she may bring up intersectional topics, like helping men escape from the requirements of conditional masculinity and helping them find their voices in conversations about domestic abuse. Is this too much? Is any of this too much? Because we don't have it now, and if we stop asking, we never will.

The way this song hit me. I haven’t found a song that has leveled me and healed me at the same time, in a long time. I’m a survivor of abuse, some of my abusers have NPD, and I have PTSD due to domestic violence. I never thought a song I heard on a tiktok reel would spark my interest, but here I am. One of the hardest life lessons I’m learning at 34, is that I AM CAPABLE. I just was wasting my capabilities on terrible men, vying for their approval, validation and affection. Now I’m finally throwing that capability into myself. The abuse was so awful that showering was a chore. So I wake up between 5-6am, and make time for me. Man or woman, if you’re being abused, please know you can get out. Please know it is better, and please know they’re lying to you and saying anything they can to get you to stay or take them back. You are TRULY loved and you ARE CAPABLE.

The evolution of the lyrics are super interesting. She goes from saying “if our love dies, would that be the WORST thing?” to asking “If our love dies, would a bad thing?” She goes from questioning ‘if I leave this relationship, would it kill me?’ to basically stating ‘if I stay in this relationship, he will kill me’ and that realization of the abuse and sexism is so powerful.

[@ravenqueer5295]

hey i know this was not your intention but saying “afabs and mtfs” when you mean women is super dysphoria inducing for both trans men and trans women

[@solarchaotica]

I feel like it does depend on the person. But as someone who is afab, it's easy to pick up fears relating to your sex growing up. I absolutely feel the hell out of this song. Because I saw the situations depicted in this song. The contexts of my feelings changed over the years. But growing up I absolutely felt fear of ending up in these situations. It eventually switched to feeling the fear of being the toxic guy in relationships that I saw so much of growing up once I realized that I don't have to be a woman just because I'm afab (this just wasn't a common concept I even started hearing about fully until my later teen years) But regardless of gender, many afabs do grow up being taught to be responsible for households (this doesn't start as an adult). . And socially this is an experience closely linked to your sex, because this is something that commonly starts being taught well before we have full knowledge of gender as a concept. Like, it being uneven with having girls do housework and help with cooking and looking after younger family members, when this expectation isn't pushed on boys of the same age. I can't and won't try to speak for people at the other end of this, because it's not my place and I don't have their experiences But I feel like this kind of socialization negatively effects everyone involved

Emotional torture From the head of your high table Who fetches the water From the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again To feel your words and their sharp sting? And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died would that be the worst thing? For somebody that I thought was my savior You sure make me do a whole lot of labor The callous skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labor Apologies from my tongue And never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup And stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man) And weaponize the false incompetence It's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture From the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her She'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run So I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died would that be the worst thing? For somebody that I thought was my savior You sure make me do a whole lot of labor The callous skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labor All day, every day Therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse than a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger Twenty-four seven, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labor All day, every day Therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse than a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger Twenty-four seven, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labor The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died would that be the worst thing?

Abortion isn't wrong. Thousands of women die because they can't get an abortion. And the fetus isn't even sentient or conscious

[@Jasminexrosexoxo]

Imo abortion should only be legal if they were graped or sa because if they just had sx for fun thats their fault and they have to deal with it​@@ItzIris-d6p

To many of us are suffering in this patriarchy!!! I cant breathe anymore!

They've made this world hell for everyone including themselves and so many of them can't comprehend that fact. We need to start working on some kind of female only underground city or like figure out a different planet to go to some shit. Enough is enough

I am so fortunate to have a mother and father who broke the cycle. They are both amazing at teaching me and my siblings how to be strong and to never give up on our dreams. I wish my grandmother and aunts found someone like my father, but fortunately, they have all broken free from their abusive husbands and taught their daughters how to heal and gain strength. No man (nor woman) has been able to tread on my family for two decades now thanks to their strength and the support of the loving husbands who have joined our family 🙌🏽 Never lose hope!

@@blacktigerpaw1 not every woman does and its really insensitive to imply that youre only a woman if you have a uterus. What about women who get hysterectomy’s because of health issues? Women who are born without a uterus at all due to certain conditions?

[@blacktigerpaw1]

@@Satoru_stardust Only women get hysterectomies. Even the word "hysterical" refers to the uterus. Little etymology lesson there. What's a woman? Maybe you can tell me. No circular logic, please.
