      There are many women that are not given a choice, not every woman is in a situation where they can act autonomously within a relationship to a man. This antivaxxer was at least a manipulator and very well could have been an abuser or domestic threat to her, so much that she would not go behind his back out of fear. Her moment of power was at the end where she could finally be honest to him without consequence.

      It’s shitty that many women live in this world, and your response really shows a lack of understanding or caring.

          No, since your comment was removed by a mod I suppose you’ve forgotten, that is what you were saying. It isn’t a lack of intelligence, it’s a lack of means and safety that many have. Not everyone has those luxuries, and this woman was clearly one that didn’t have that measure of independence or security to defy and/or leave.

      that isn’t an open invitation to help a person hurt themselves. Opportunistic manipulators aren’t blameless. Domestic violence is a complex issue you can’t blame the victims entirely for what another person does to them. Stop encouraging psychopathic culture.

      There’s no way in hell that this man didn’t regularly beat his wife. She did what he told her to do and that’s how she survived. Blame her all you want, but just know that you’re a victim shamer.

          Just my assessment from personal experience and context clues from the Facebook post. I could be true or not. I don’t really care anymore, either way, it doesn’t affect me. And, I’ve already said my piece.
