Susan Forward. Men who hate women and the women who love these men (№ 273529)

I knew that the labeling of masochistic women, whose partnership is bad, has long been standard practice in my specialty and our culture. This explanation smotricius, submissive behavior of women was convenient, but very dangerous. In fact, women learn such patterns of behavior very early, they are constantly praised and rewarded for it. The paradox inherent here is that the behavior that makes women exposed to abuse, is considered to be feminine and nice. The concept of masochism is dangerous because it serves as the justification aimed at women, aggression and affirms that "women need it".
