[ > ].... is this abuse fetish peculiar to the females i > happen to see, or is it a general infection??? 1) The familiar is often safer than the unknown 2) Those who get used to {love,abuse} tend to seek more of the same, their self identity having been formed from their life experiences (I'm not O.K. (I know, because I've been told so all my life)) (besides, the making up after the abuse is so good!) 3) Since we live in a Patriarchy, women tend to get more abused in childhood then do men, and therefore there is a higher probability of finding abused women than men Patriarchy is the problem.
