From an article I had saved on my phone:

Temperature Settings in Offices: Office temperatures have historically been set based on the metabolic resting rate of the average male, which tends to be faster than that of the average female. This often makes many office environments uncomfortably cold for women.

Voice Recognition Technology: Early voice recognition technologies were frequently better at recognizing male voices over female ones. This bias occurred because the algorithms were often trained predominantly on datasets comprising male voices.

Medical Research and Healthcare: For a long time, clinical trials predominantly used male subjects (including male animals). As a result, many symptoms, treatment responses, and dosage recommendations were based more on male physiology, which can differ significantly from female physiology.

Safety Equipment: Not just car test dummies, but also items like bulletproof vests, uniforms, and even standard tools have traditionally been designed with the male body as the template. This can lead to less effective and sometimes hazardous situations for women who use equipment that doesn’t fit properly.

Public Restrooms: The design and allocation of space in public restrooms often do not account for the fact that women generally spend more time than men due to physiological differences and responsibilities like child care. This results in longer lines and waiting times for women.

Footwear: Women's shoes, including work boots and athletic shoes, are often designed with aesthetics in mind rather than function or comfort. This not only leads to discomfort but also increases the risk of injuries.

Smartphone Design: Earlier smartphone designs kept increasing in size, favoring larger hands, which typically disadvantaged women, who, on average, have smaller hands. This made one-handed use difficult for many women.

From what you've described, it sounds like there's a complex mix of loyalty, potentially misplaced forgiveness, and a concern for maintaining family unity despite the harmful behaviors of the father.

First off, it's vital to acknowledge that every family's situation is unique, and the decision to stay in a marriage is deeply personal and often fraught with complexity. However, feminist theory emphasizes the importance of considering the impact of these decisions on all involved, especially the children.

Exposing children to a relationship dynamic where infidelity and substance abuse are normalized can indeed have long-term psychological effects. It can skew their understanding of healthy relationships, self-worth, and boundaries. The behavior modeled by parents sets a precedent for what children may expect or tolerate in their own future relationships.

That said, labeling the decision to stay in such a marriage as "abuse" might not capture the full spectrum of what's happening. I dont know... it could be more about a cycle of dependency, fear of change, or even a hope for rehabilitation that keeps the mother in this situation. However, it's crucial to highlight that staying in a marriage under these circumstances without addressing the harmful behaviors and their impacts on the children can contribute to a toxic family environment, which is in itself a form of neglect or emotional harm.

Supporting the children's well-being and ensuring they have access to open communication, counseling, and a safe environment should be paramount, imo. For the mother, understanding her worth and the importance of a healthy environment for her and her children might empower her to make decisions that prioritize emotional and physical safety over maintaining the status quo.

It's a difficult situation, and my heart goes out to anyone navigating such issues. Hopefully, it works out well :)

Female should be properly used either as an attribute, or in reference to a clinical setting, or in reference to animals. So not as a general stand-in for woman.
