This really hit home for me. I remember being mistreated by my first husband in front of a “feminist” friend who pretended it wasn’t happening. When I left him for his behaviour, she remained friends with him and even tried to set him up with one of her friends! Totally clueless, but she knew her feminist theory.
This is EXACTLY the sort of shit 'feminists' should NOT be doing. We need to challenge this much more! Why the hell would she set her friends up with someone she KNOWS to be abusive?!?! This is how women collude in and enable abuse and abusers. I doubt she thought of it that way but it's exactly what she was doing.
