I remember listening to some guy explain that he hated his mother far more for not stopping his father from beating him that he blamed his father for beating him.
I just want to clarify do you, that's fucking dumb. But it also explains why you'll run into some angry young men who talk about how they prefer the Republicans to the Democrats because the Democrats don't do enough but the Republicans openly hate them. get a grip. It is actually worse to actively beat someone.  there's so much misogynistic thought wrapped up in this idea women as protectors that you don't even hold men responsible not to be aggressors.
