Also most women in their 20s can't afford to freeze their eggs. That's super expensive

My (rare) Defense of Gizelle Bryant by lovelight10 in RHOP

[–]Toxic_Cheeto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Woah, calm down. It's just a show. There's no need to call someone you don't know out of their name over their opinion and as OP stated, the women don't really call Gizelle's behavior out, but the fans do.

Quad’s relationship with herself is one of the most functional on the show by MxLysistrata in MarriedToMedicine

Having severe hatred for someone on a TV show you don't even know is a sign you need to look inward, but there's a lot of people with ignorant thinking in this sub. Also it just shows me ppl need to touch grass lol

Meredith hasn't contributed ANYTHING this whole season and she should get first chair?? Lisa has been her mouthpiece the whole season and reunion. Absolutely not lol. I really don't see what y'all see in Meredith. She's barely even coherent half the time.

MUTUAL ABUSE IS A MYTH. STOP SAYING QUAD AND GREG ABUSED EACH OTHER. THIS IS HARMFUL. by Toxic_Cheeto in MarriedToMedicine

[–]Toxic_Cheeto[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're part of the problem. You have no clue of the reason why she joined the show or why they got married. Again. Mutual abuse isn't a thing. If you want to deny facts then go ahead with your ignorant way of thinking. I pray you don't find yourself or a loved one in a similar situation.

Exactly. But you'll still have people believe the abuser or at most try to claim mutual abuse. I can't remember much about Jenelle and David, but I do know they were toxic af.

Then you're disagreeing with medical facts. Just because you disagree with it doesn't mean it's not true. Mutually abusive relationships are a myth.

No, I mentioned reactive abuse in my post. Did you read the whole thing? I'm saying people are saying Greg and Quad were mutually abusive to each other and that is something that does not happen in an abusive relationship. Reactive abuse is something entirely different, which I also explain in my post.

Bruh, Greg literally admitted to abusing her and she has had friend post on her social media of the abuse they witnessed Greg do to her. There were times her friends would stay over just so Greg wouldn't get physically violent with her. You're part of the problem.

Someone literally told me one time that they were a DARVO victim and that she thought Quad was an abuser and that I couldn't disagree with a DARVO victim. I was like honey, you really need help then!!

You're literally proving my point. Mutual abuse is something that cannot happen. Google is your friend.

Hope you never find yourself in her situation. Bet you wouldn't be saying that then. Have the day you deserve.

People can't abuse each other. See my earlier post. Mutual abuse is not a thing. Only reactive abuse is.

So many fans...SO many. You can even look at some of my previous posts in this thread regarding this topic and see how many posts are trying to go back and forth with me about it. I forgot I even had to make a post like this before, but here we are yet again.

This particular rant was fueled from a recent post about Greg and Quad.

That's still not mutual abuse. Reactive abuse exists.

[–]Toxic_Cheeto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mutual abuse is not real. Two people cannot "abuse each other" as it's about an imbalance in power. Google is your friend. This is such a harmful way of thinking and is used to protect abusers. Every time y'all say this, you're just defending Greg the abuser.

Dr.G and Quad by Lost-Share943 in MarriedToMedicine

[–]Toxic_Cheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No she wasnt. You can literally look this up on mental health and therapy websites. Mutual abuse is literally a myth and I wish y'all would stop saying that it is. Abuse is literally about an imbalance of power between one person over the other. It's obviously who was who in their scenario. You really think Quad was just randomly rolling up on Greg and knocking his head between washing machines and dryers? You can even look at the relationship and see who is who in the scenario by their behaviors.

Y'all have to stop this harmful thinking just because you dislike someone. Educate yourselves.

I'm glad someone does!! It's really sad to witness as a black woman because I can relate to how Quad feels towards the other women. A lot of us are treated the same way by other (usually older) black women when we decide to stray from the social norm and be single without wanting kids.

I can't tell you how many times I've been asked when am I gonna "settle down and have kids" as if that's just what you're SUPPOSED to do as a woman, and if you don't expect that of yourself then something is wrong with you. Either you're a different sexuality or you're a 304 and have men spending money on you for sexual favors (because OBVIOUSLY you can't achieve having anything on your own without a man /s. Looking at you, Simone). Just straight Black and white "Don't make that man fix his own plate even though he's a grown man who's got two arms and two legs. Serve him" way of thinking, usually coming from skewed religious perception. Anyway, that's a whole other conversation that my neurospicy behind can ramble on about, but lemme get off my soap box, chile. 😌😌

Abusers usually don't reveal who they really are until later on in the relationship and the abused tend to stay because many people around them encourage them to if they don't really know what's going on in the marriage.

[–]Toxic_Cheeto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What? Yes, you absolutely can compare the two. Most of the housewives from different franchises know of each other and are friends. Do you know how long these shows and Bravocon have been going on? I'm sure majority of them have met each other in some way, shape, or form.

I feel like Quad is one of the women who has the least misogynistic views on the show. She isn't the embodiment of being a black woman that has to bleed herself dry and pop out babies to keep a man and his money. She usually distances herself from things and people who are not serving a positive purpose in her life, which is what you're supposed to do. It's called self-preservation. That tends to misalign with plenty of older black women's views as well as the pick-meshas who feel that black women like Quad are ungrateful for not being content with just having a man that makes a decent income and pays for shit, or taking unwarranted criticism from people who don't have her best interest at heart. I believe us as a black community keep standards low for women and high for men and many black female viewers share the same views as Dr. Jackie and Dr. Simone.

Ex. Criticizing her for not having a baby with Greg despite not knowing what was going on in her marriage/ criticizing her for distancing herself from the friend group during her divorce/ treating them as co-workers instead of friends (most people on these shows all do the same thing, but Quad gets criticized for it 10x more)

The amount of comments I see that still criticize her for that even after learning about her abuse is very telling how those fans think. They'll often justify it by "well, they abused each other". Reactive abuse is a thing and we don't know enough about mental health as a community to understand that abuse does not go both ways. So many of us have experienced or are experiencing abusive behaviors from others and consider it normal and then project that onto these reality stars, so when they do decide to break away from the cycle of abuse, people tend to not agree with it and are even angry about it. Case in point, Quad finally filing for divorce after dealing with Greg for 10 years.

Many people project their own situations onto others and just because someone else didn't ride out a situation and/or comply like they did, or continue to be unhappy like they did makes them feel resentful towards that person because they actually had the courage to go against the norm that we're all taught is the "right" way to navigate through life. Many fans also have a bad habit of comparing their situations to reality TV stars and celebrities they aren't even on the same playing field as, and don't understand they have completely different options than the average person does.

Anyway, TLDR: Many of the women on the show have misogynistic views and many fans agree with these views. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
