The first installment in the "Low Pressure Book Club Series" is a review of 'Why Does He Do That?' by Lundy Bancroft. Packed with helpful lists of warning signs, debunked excuses, and key signs of abuse, this book was written to provide insight into the minds of men who don't respect their partners. Throughout, I work to explain unacceptable behaviors by comparing them to similar ones displayed by men on Bravo. The author relies on his 30+ years of counseling men to identify contributing factors and presents a path to change that relies solely on the angry man reaching a point where that anger no longer serves him.Unfortunately, this review begins by discussing recently shared allegations by several women that say Lundy weaponized that same extensive counseling experience to prey upon their vulnerabilities. As a result, a book that presents a thesis that abusers are made, not born, now serves as a helpful guide in more ways than its author intended. https://cryingoutforjustice.blog/2025/01/30/lundy-bancroft-is-a-predator/ All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Chapter 1:Summary of Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men"Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men" by Lundy Bancroft provides an in-depth exploration of the motivations and psychology behind abusive and controlling behavior in men. The book is aimed primarily at women who are involved with or have been affected by such men and seeks to help them understand the dynamics of abusive relationships.Bancroft, a counselor with years of experience working with abusive men, categorizes these men into various types based on their behaviors and mindsets. He emphasizes that abusive behavior is often rooted in a desire for power and control, rather than merely being a response to stress or anger. The book highlights common traits and tactics used by these men, such as manipulation, intimidation, and the use of guilt.The author also addresses the misconceptions surrounding abuse, particularly the idea that it is provoked or that there can be effective change in the abuser without willingness on their part to seek help. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing warning signs and understanding the cycle of abuse.In addition to analyzing the mindset of abusive men, Bancroft offers guidance to victims on how to navigate their situations safely, set boundaries, and prioritize their well-being. He encourages readers to seek support and emphasizes that they are not alone.Ultimately, "Why Does He Do That?" aims to empower women by providing clarity about abusive dynamics and fostering a sense of hope and agency in their lives.Chapter 2:The Theme of Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men"Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men" by Lundy Bancroft is a seminal work that provides insight into the behavior of abusive men from the perspective of an experienced domestic violence counselor. Here are some key plot points, character development aspects, and thematic ideas in the book: Key Plot Points:1. Understanding Abuse: Bancroft lays the groundwork by explaining what constitutes abuse beyond physical violence, including emotional, psychological, and financial control.2. Profile of the Abuser: The author categorizes different types of abusive men based on their behavior patterns and motivations. He discusses the traits common to these individuals, such as entitlement and a need for power.3. The Cycle of Abuse: Bancroft details the cycle of abuse, including tension-building, the explosion (abusive incident), and the honeymoon phase, where abusers often show remorse and promise change.4. Common Excuses and Rationalizations: The book addresses the excuses abusers use to justify their actions, such as stress, substance abuse, or past trauma, while emphasizing that these do not excuse the behavior.5. Strategies for Control: It exposes specific strategies used by abusers to maintain control, including intimidation, isolation, manipulation of children, and financial abuse.6. Impact on Victims: Bancroft discusses the psychological and emotional impact of abuse on victims and their often complicated feelings of love and attachment to their abusers.7. Empowerment and Support: The latter part of the book provides guidance for victims seeking to understand their situation, as well as strategies for safely leaving an abusive relationship. Character Development:- The Abuser: While the book primarily focuses on male abusers as a group rather than individual characters, Bancroft delves into the mindset of these men, illustrating how their upbringing, societal influences, and personal choices shape their behavior.- The Victim: The book offers insights into the experiences of abuse victims, highlighting their courage, resilience, and the complexities of their feelings.

On tonight's edition of Man Torque, we delve into a topic that is close to home for many: Male Circumcision. From the moment a man is born, the clock starts ticking towards that inevitable appointment with the doctor and a discourse with your foreskin. But why? Is it a rite of passage into manhood, a pursuit of health benefits, or perhaps a religious obligation? While the conversation surrounding male circumcision is not new, tonight we thought we'd bring up another perspective—one that considers circumcision as a tool for regulating and controlling the male body. As we navigate discussions around consent, particularly for minors and infants, the idea of autonomy and self-identity, I would like to invite you to share with us your experiences of circumcision. How old were you? Were you presented with a choice? Perhaps you opted against circumcision—what motivated this decision? Joining me for this conversation is Nokwana Bokolo, Lecturer in the Department of Public Health at the University of Fort Hare.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Girl Code ft. K Carbon -  Big Homies House Ep. 183 #nowthatstv #kcarbon #memphis     Hey, Homies! Welcome back to another lit episode of The Big Homies House Podcast!

Elevated Man Podcast with Apollonia Ponti  Do Women Prefer Dominate Men? Assertive Men vs. Controlling Men (6 Dominate Traits She Finds HOT!) Do you know if you're an Assertive or Controlling man?  Do you wonder if there is any difference?  If you ever thought that if an woman wants a more assertive or controlling man, you are in for a special treat. In today's podcast episode, Apollonia Ponti delves into women's preferences regarding assertive and controlling men. The discussion focuses on six dominant traits that women find appealing, differentiating between assertive and controlling behaviors. Apollonia has seen the behaviors of Assertive and Controlling men. And she sees how women are attracted to assertive men.  But what is an assertive man? Assertive men emphasize the importance of direct yet sensitive communication with their partner. The Assertive man establishes clear boundaries, which he adheres to while respecting those of others. Conversely, the controlling man resorts to manipulative tactics, such as guilt-tripping, to fulfill his desires. This dynamic creates an unhealthy scenario where the partner feels the need to constantly please the controlling individual, often at the expense of neglecting their own needs and desires. If you want to learn the difference and become a man who can attract high-quality women, this podcast episode is for you! Key points in this episode: 1:00 - High-value women love assertive men, not controlling ones. Apollonia will explain the difference between being assertive and controlling behaviors in the relationship. 1:26 - The way an assertive man communicates is direct and yet sensitive. At the core of his assertiveness are boundaries that he had set up, and he respects other people's boundaries. 2:23 - Decision-making isn't only for him to make but collaborating with everyone involved. An assertive man communicates his thoughts and feelings while embracing his partners. 3:25 - An Assertive Man respects his partner's independence. He helps her or creates that space of autonomy, gives a sense of security in the relationship, and offers support when his partner needs reassurance. 4:04 - In contrast to Assertive Man, a Controlling Man looks at relationships to exhibit his power and authority. He goes his way or no way. 5:01 - A Controlling Man will manipulate situations. Not only does it erode trust and understanding in the relationship, but it will create an unhealthy dynamic. 6:15 - Emotional manipulation is joint in controlling men. He does it through guilt-tripping to get the things he wants. This creates situations where his partner constantly tries to please him and disregards her needs and wants. This is toxic. 7:14 - There's always a vast difference between awareness and controlling behaviors. An assertive man is what women want and are attracted to. 7:45 - Apollonia explains why an Assertive man is highly sought after in dating. 9:36 - healthy relationships need to have nurture and assertiveness. They need to balance supporting each other while setting boundaries most healthily. tips have helped me with my dating!"

A little over three months ago, a colleague sent me a link to a post where the author said, “Gaslighting is intentionally psychologically manipulating someone else into questioning their own sanity and/or reality. It is impossible for victims to gaslight themselves.” I deliberated as to whether or not I should jump into the conversation. I did. And I ended up being blacklisted. In today's episode, I'll share some of the misconceptions about gaslighting that fueled this poster's views, and why my views are shaking up the gaslighting world (I think, for the best!). I'm Sarah Morales, the host of this podcast, and to go along with this month's theme of “New”, and understanding the new ways my views of gaslighting can impact your life or the life of someone that you love, I'm running a special for the rest of January. From now until January 31, get 50% off my Deconstructing Gaslighting Awareness video course by using the code: Season2Pod. Let's break this down:Old definition of GASLIGHTING = level of awareness & motive + vague behavior = small picture of effect/impact. THIS IS A LIMITING DEFINTIONLundy Bancroft, the author of “Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men,” said, “Abusive behavior and an abusive mindset are two different things. The former is a choice, while the latter is a deeply ingrained belief system.” 1 New definition/my definition = type of behavior (covert) = clear description of effect/impactThis definition is expansive; allows for MORE people to find understanding, validation, etc. People don't want to let go = somehow invalidating their trauma and/or abuse.When people gaslight = harm, regardless of level of awareness/intention, etc. Top Take-Aways:What comes up as I talked about my new definition, and the fact that a gaslighter does NOT have to be intentionally trying to break/control you? Dig a little deeper – what is behind those thoughts/feelings? For example, if you're feeling resistant, and thinking they have to be aware/doing it intentionally, ask yourself, “Why does that matter? What would be different if they weren't aware? Would that change how you have to respond? Would that mean you'd have to have different boundaries, etc.?Consider what you know about gaslighting, and what you NEED to know, in order to get clarity about your relationships.A mantra for self-validation: No matter the level of awareness or intention, it doesn't change that I don't accept gaslighting behaviors in my relationships. If you want to understand more about the different reasons people do gaslighting behaviors and the different levels of awareness, sign up for my Deconstructing Gaslighting Awareness video series.

I am back with another solo episode this week. October is domestic violence awareness month, so, I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about a specific type of domestic violence: emotional abuse. Yes, emotional abuse is a form of domestic violence.   Talking about emotional abuse is part of my healing, my personal journey, and my growth. So much of the work that we do in my Facebook group is around helping women identify emotional abuse and come to terms with the fact that that's what's happening to them. We have to talk about emotional abuse.   We have to talk about it because the more we talk about it, the more we realize we are not alone.   When women talk about abuse and relate to each other's stories, that's when we rise up and say, “Oh, hell no. No fucking more.” Show Highlights Owning your victimhood is very important. It is one of the most powerful things you can do. (2:43) You are never going to agree with your abuser about the narrative.  But you get to have your narrative and you get to own it. (8:39) Signs of emotional abuse seen during the traffic stop in the case of Gabby Petito and what the police could have done differently. (11:53) Gaslighting creates and distorts your perception of reality. (13:21) Emotional abuse can look very different from person to person and relationship to relationship. (20:44) Abuse has nothing to do with an abuser's feelings. It's about control and entitlement. (23:52) You are not crazy, trust your perceptions!

Yvette Stone, psychotherapist and dv advocate. She has her own private practice and is an affiliate and trainer at NW Family Life.During covid she graduated from grad school and started her own practice. It's been a season of “Grief and Gratitude.” When people ask “How are you doing?” For the first time in my life I stop and say, “I don't know.” It's complex and we're all carry so much. There aren't straight forward answers.She works mostly with women in domestic violence relationships and her specialization is with people of narcissistic abuse. Yvette is a survivor herself of narcissistic abuse.Yvette is passionate about bringing narcissistic abuse into the forefront of domestic violence. Most people associate domestic violence with battery—broken bones and hospitalizations—and it is absolutely a category of dv, but psychological and narcissistic abuse also falls under that umbrella and Yvette says it is equally damaging and so much more prevalent than people realize.Maggie asks Yvette to give a formal definition to the term narcissist. Many people use the term casually for someone who is selfish but there is really more to it.Yvette acknowledges that the term has been thrown around a lot more lately. The statics say Narcissists make up 1 in 30 of the US population of those over 60 years old. However that number jumps to 1 in 10 of 20-somethings experience the clinical symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. She says this is because of the prevalence of violence, materialism and social media (the sense of look at me! look at me! look at me!”) in our culture.She says there is a way narcissistic people will feel to you and then there is the clinical definition. A narcissist is identifiable by their:Lack of empathy for othersInflated sense of importanceDeep need for excessive attention and admirationPerpetually troubled relationshipsThe traits of a narcissist according to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders):grandiose sense of self-importancepreoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, ideal lovebelief they're special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions,need for excessive admiration sense of entitlement,interpersonally exploitative behavior,lack of empathy,envy of others or a belief that others are envious of them,and demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes.Vulnerable or Deflated Narcissists tend to be a product of neglectful parenting, where as the grandiose narcissists tend to be a product of being spoiled and told how special or entitled

Marriage should be the most trusted and intimate relationship of all, but for Ramona Probasco, marriage quickly turned into a prison of fear and danger. She suffered and persevered through two decades of physical, emotional and verbal abuse.

Mickie Zada is a change-agent, a content creator and an advocate for women who have escaped domestic abuse.  Her passion is to inspire and empower survivors in their transition to safe, healthy lives.   Mickie speaks openly and honestly about living in domestic abuse for 34 years (she says she stayed waaay tooo long at the dance!), the reality of her mind-set during that time (most of the time she was married, she didn't recognize that she was an abused spouse) and her belief that we create our reality.  She says that there are as many excuses for remaining in abuse as there are women who stay.  She chose to believe it was her Calling to help her ex-husband stay between the lines.  Now she recognizes that she was not responsible for his life, the only person she could change was herself.  She always had the option to leave; she chose to stay. Finances, false security, personal insecurities, potential loneliness, responsibility for children, fear for safety... these are all reasons to stay.  Once we leave, we see that none of those excuses were valid.  As victims we bond with our excuses, we accept them as real.  They are not. Mickie is a strong believer in Dr. Wayne Dyer's statement, "When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change."  She teaches that the only way to change the cycle of abuse is through personal growth.   Abuse victims become survivors when we accept the reality of our past experiences and use those lessons to continue growing and sharing with others. Changing the way we look at our past creates the opportunity to change our lives.  And, to inspire others.

What are some red flags women and girls should be aware of when dating? Q. How can women minimize the psychological grip that their abusers have on them even after leaving? One thing that we have noticed in the abuse support groups I'm involved in is that these men use the same tactics and some of the phrases are identical. Many have joked that it's as if they've gone to a training somewhere. Q. What are your thoughts on this (use of the same tactics)? Q. What can mothers do to mitigate the impact of an abusive father on his children.

Men that need to control women and keep them down think this is a sign of strength or prowess; but it’s a huge sign of weakness. Everyone has insecurities. It's part of being human. Insecurities don't define you; it's how you choose to handle them that define you and your character. Facing and accepting your shortcomings is bravery. Controlling women because of your own insecurities is not only cowardly, weak, and a lack of self-control – it’s 100% Mansy. He needs a trophy because he has nothing else to back it up. In this episode: accepting being ordinary; a follower, not a leader; self-loathing and narcissism. Mansy Controlling Guy. Recognize the signs – in him and in you.

Why do some men feel the need to control? Is it genetic? Is it how they were raised? Or are their other reasons? And what does this control look like? Does it have to rise to the extreme level before something needs to change? All these questions are answered with guest Aaron Welch, a therapist specializing in men’s issues.
