Abuse
Part 2 of the Psychology class (this class really helps with blogs) in today’s class we talked about more than criminal insanity but I guess this relates this part of the class was about spousal abuse between heterosexual relationships. Where we went over cases where the women in the relationships were pushed to far and they ended up killing the husband (one lady poured gasoline on her husband and torched him). Ironically he felt that these women shouldn’t get off with their crimes (strange justice). Towards the end of the class he called all the girls stupid for even dealing with men (thanks for that) he said if they were smart they would stay away from us because he feels that we will all abuse women and only want sex (I definitely disagree). Then he went to answer questions from the crowd and the lady behind us gave him a situation of abuse (which I think she was referring to her own life by the way she acts and her demeanor) where he thought the woman should fight back but the lady behind me said that the woman would feel scared if she were to confront the man (not the girls I know). Then he asked if any of the other girls knew situations where the boyfriend beats the girl and there were plenty some said the girl blamed herself for him beating her others blamed drugs and alcohol and the girls they knew still wouldn’t leave the boyfriend (strange). But that’s how class went and mostly how it goes everytime.

I am not a guy (obviously) but I would have gotten offended by what he said about guys only wanting sex and stuff like that. Guys get abused too, actually.. but I guess that physically women are usually not as strong as men so their cases are so much stronger.. Basically, I think that it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, you should not ever treat any living being in a way that makes them feel inferior.
Just wondering but is your professor married? I mean if he thinks all guys abuse girls then what does he do? I think it is crazy how girls stay with a guy that abuses them. I have never really understood it. I mean I dated a guy for four and half years, and he was the biggest jerk ever. He was not abusive, but he was awful. He put me through so much crap, and I just took it. Now that I look back I have no idea what I was thinking. I know after a while I just felt comfortable, and I was too scared to get back into the whole dating world and single life. Maybe that's what these girls think. I'm not sure.
