Depends on the man, but the data and I’ll confirm this with my own observations that the data appears accurate: The weaker a man is, the more likely he is to become abusive, and I don’t mean physically. Weak men full of pride desire to feel powerful, when they fail, they often take it out on the people around them unless that risks additional damage to their prideful ego. The kindest, most compassionate men I know, are physically/mentally/emotionally strong.
Sort of, yes. It’s as if this disparity between who they hope to be (strong) and who they are (weak) constantly reminds them they aren’t good enough to achieve whatever it is they are trying to achieve so that frustration bleeds out of them into the things they think are under their control: Which, if they are in a relationship and are physically stronger than their girlfriend/wife, it starts as verbal abuse, turns to substance abuse, and then eventually results in physical abuse.
I’ve seen the 70% of all lesbian couples divorce/break up because of domestic violence thing when I was in a service industry that had a disproportionate number of lesbians/bi girls. Something about the hormonal shift constantly makes them question who’s the dominant one and who’s the submissive. Combine that with constantly questioning if their partner is emotionally bonding with someone else even if it isn’t physical, and it often got physical, but unlike male homosexual couples, the girls 1
2/2 would attack with objects. First time a girl put her partner (bi girls, female female semi-poly) in the hospital with a wine bottle in an argument over who their sugar daddy was giving more money to. Second time, different town, it was a kitchen knife that thank God it was sharp, because the stab wound was clean enough to not be lethal and heal, but the police report said there was blood still pouring out from the apartment all the way down to the lobby.
