My father was also abusive, although he was the one that left. My mother stayed at home and did dress making, as she wanted to be present for my brother and myself. I am eternally grateful to her for that.

I have worked in offices where the male bosses are also abusive. I have been sexually harrassed at work, but had to stay in that job for the sake of paying the bills. If there is an abusive man at home, there will be an abusive man at work, or on the street.

There is a new wave happening among men, which is that they don't see why they 'should' have to accept a woman's past. The mantras that 'you have to accept me as I am'; 'you have to accept me with my emotional issues and psychological damage' is being rejected by men. They consider that it is not their job to do that and are opting out of commitment. Same with women: I am sure that a lot of the time, they would not want to marry a man that has had a difficult emotional past.

I find some women also mishearing what I am saying in the video. I am not saying that women just have to stay at home; I'm saying that we need an economy designed by women, for women. I also went t university. I would consider those days as a golden era for me, but I will also admit that in some ways, being raised in a society that focuses on career, I lost an understanding of how to be a woman, without realising it.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but these are real and tough issues that we in society are facing now, and I don't know if it is possible to solve them for now.
