I hate how some women enjoy the attention of men who intentionally treat them like shit.

@ArkBallet I thought they got attracted to it because it made them feel like they need to earn niceness instead of just enjoying having it.

@SinlessOnslaught That can definitely be a part of it too. There’s this twisted belief in some women that they have to work harder or suffer more to earn love and respect, instead of realizing they deserve it just by existing, by simply being human. It’s almost like they confuse struggle with value, like if they bleed for it, it must mean it’s worth more. But all it really does is keep them chained to people who know how to exploit that. And it doesn’t just come out of nowhere, either. Some of it is learned young, seeing it modeled in their family, or growing up in an environment where love was conditional. If affection only came when you were perfect, submissive, or endlessly forgiving, you carry that into adulthood. Then suddenly, being treated kindly feels foreign, almost suspicious, like it’s too easy or undeserved. But of course, it's also not exclusive to JUST seeing it growing up, ANY woman can be affected by it regardless of familial background or financial status.

@ArkBallet Yep
