That's patriarchy baby. Same genesis as "boys will be boys" or basically that males can't control themselves, so society needs adapt to their fickle moods
Isn't that also the basis of the gay panic defense, that a man loses control of his body in response to being "tricked" into the gay or whatever shit they say.
Same basic logic as the cases where someone ties their victim to a bed, fetches some accelerant, douses them and sets them on fire in self defense.
That's the gay panic defense. We have to specify because the police also commonly use a panic defense. Like when they shoot into a crowd and claim someone charged them. (Yes they did that, the NYPD, no they haven't released body cam footage yet, no nobody else is supporting their story)
That's true, damn, there really shouldn't be any panic defense at all. Someone who "loses control of their body" still committed a crime, and while in certain cases recognition and rehabilitation can help, them "losing control" or "panicking" is not an excuse for something they still did. If being drunk isn't an excuse panic shouldn't be one either.

yeah yeah, we get it, you have forgiving mothers, nice humble brag.
Well my mother wasn't forgiving so I guess I'm screwed.
The same should be true in reverse. Couples should be trying to compassionately make each other better, no matter what gender they are. And kids lose their mind a bit when they realize their parents are humans with faults. I think that's part of where teenage angst and rebellion comes from.
There's no need to gender this unless we want to specifically talk about toxic culture.
