Absolutely not! What the other poster said was way out of line and she got mad when I called her on it.

The conversation is below.
Stinkcat says: They also seem to think that abuse ought to just be tolerated.

Only for the one sex though. Men seem to get a pass when they behave badly, and women tend to attract tar and feathers. And don’t come back saying that’s not so. These threads run exactly like this. Men can’t handle rejection, women go through it all the time and are called to forgive. And most of them do, do their own detriment even.

So PC claims that men get a free pass when it comes to abuse. I asked for evidence, none was forthcoming. If people don’t want to back up a claim, they shouldn’t make them. Like I said, some are just not interested in a dialogue here.

There’s no way pianist was condoning abuse. Maybe you don’t know much about her, but she has experienced abuse first hand and would never accuse someone asking for advice about abuse of “whining” or tell them to “suck it up buttercup”.

I think what pianist meant was men get a free pass on denying their wives sex or just generally failing to meet the emotional needs of their wives, while if a wife denies her husband sex she’s not fulfilling her “duty” and is completely in the wrong.

Can you give me an example of a thread telling a woman to tolerate abuse? There is another thread here about a woman complaining (you might call it whining) about physical abuse. I didn’t see anyone telling her to suck it up, buttercup.

Well, this turned out just like the playbook for these threads.
 
It must be a terrible burden to always be so angry at the entire world.

Who is angry? Asking someone to support their claim because of anger? I thought the purpose of discussion was to exchange thoughts and ideas to come to a better understanding. Someone makes a claim, where I come from it is reasonable to ask for proof. Do others do things differently?
 
It looks like this thread has run its course, so I just want to thank everyone for a lively discussion. The one thing we can agree on (about the only thing I imagine), is that we really don’t know what the term “marital debt” means. I also find it amusing how everyone’s biases come out of the woodwork when this topic is discussed. I though economic issues were contentious, but they have nothing on sex.
