I dunno, is this more of women being blamed for their own abuse? Like, is she saying that if her mother had stood up for herself, her father wouldnāt have hit her? Or would it just have escalated more? I appreciate her sentiment about her own mode of being in the world and appreciate it, but isnāt a major part of the problem that weāre constantly telling women what they are doing wrong and that no matter what they do, they are wrong?

I dunno, to my ear it was a tale about how she escaped abuse.
Oh shitā¦

I think so, too and I certainly applaud her for sharing her experiences, but I mean the last part, where she talks her mom, how she wanted her mom to speak up more - āwhy wonāt she yell back?ā How is that not blaming her mom for her own abuse - if only sheād stand up, sheād have not been abused. Which is probably not necessarily what she meant. And this is especially problematic (not from Nicki necessarily, because sheās just telling us her own subjective experiences, so maybe itās a bit unfair of me), but women are told over and again, that our proper role is sacrificing ourselves for our families. That to do otherwise is selfish. And women are often punished for the abuse heaped upon their children by abusers, when they are often also the victims of the same abusersā¦ Women (especially with children) in situations like this need non-judgmental help to get out of the situation, not moralizing about how we should be better mothers by sacrificing ourselves for our families or how if only we stood up to the abusers, weād have saved ourselves.
But again, maybe I shouldnāt take this out on Nicki, as this is just her subjective experiences.

No, youāre right. Iām not even gonna speculate, cause I just donāt have the frame of reference.
On a side note, do you have any more Mansplainā gifs? I find they make a satisfying, self deprecating yet funny punchline

I donāt know, maybe Iām reading Nickiās quote wrong, but thatās just what I got out of it. Maybe I thinking about that story of a woman who got a longer sentence (30 years!!! to his like 3 years) when her boyfriend broke her 3 months old ribs, because she failed to protect her child. I mean, thatās the kind of world we seem to be living in now.
You know I donāt know what I haveā¦ Iāll dig up more and post them soonish!

I just heard it as the voice of a frustrated childā¦ There certainly is naive victim blaming in her statements ā exactly the sort that you cite i.e. implicitly expecting the mother to self-sacrifice.

Yeah, and I donāt want to come down on Nicki for that at allā¦ Just how does her statement just reinforce that sexist notion of the supposedly endless limits of a motherās love and how youāre just an inadequate human being if you donāt live up to that.

One might interpret this unappreciative misandrist woman as calling out mansplaining, but it is obvious that she just canāt recognize valuable advice.
