No I can't even agree that that's relevant to the post. Mental illness doesn't teach you that it's OK to abuse women, mental illness doesn't teach you to be racist, and plenty of very mentally ill people have absolutely no inclination towards those things. Does it make you more susceptible to the worst society has to offer? Of course, but your neurons misfiring doesn't automatically lead to the conclusion that you have shoot up a school or abuse your family or anything else like that.

I think you’re misunderstanding the quote. It literally means that mental illness is not an excuse to abuse others, not the everyone with a mental illness is abusive.

In Why Does He Do That? Lundy Bancroft talks a lot about how a lot of people mistakenly think that abusive men have a temper problem and need anger management, and he talks about how they will graduate anger management as abusers with much better control over their tempers because the two aren't really strongly connected

Me too, the men I have in my life are great and we have close bonds. They also do the work to be good, healthy friends that share a lot of respect and love.

women who are mentally ill, or just embittered or angry, solicit men to do their dirty work. every jim crow lynching based on a white girls testimony was an act of violence and these deeds go on today yet they're never quantified. and these past crimes are never tallied against women, are they?

is there a listing of every time a woman coerced a man into killing someone for her? doubtful.

all you're doing is encouraging that behavior by glorifying women. women never do wrong--they never think wrong, they never act wrong. it's all men, men, men.

adam and eve was mixed up--it's the man who bit the apple, says the delusional internet poster.

The text you're responding to says:

It's not mental illness. It's 'male pattern violence'.

Please point to which word or words is glorifying women. (Hint: This is not possible.)

women never do wrong–they never think wrong, they never act wrong.

The text you're responding to says:

It's not mental illness. It's 'male pattern violence'.

Please point to which word or words claim that women never do, think, or act wrong. (Hint: This is not possible.)

As an added point:

The community into which you're responding with these—let's be polite and call it "interesting" (because calling them "idiotic" would be rude)—observations has a rule which states:

Women only…
