My mother has done the same thing to me my entire life, both on a personal and a categorical level. I eventually had to disassociate myself from her which was difficult given the amount of emotional attachment that accumulated in the type of home environment she raised us in. The whole “suck it up” advice is useless and even antithetical as men will do what I do with my mother and simple slink off into our little corner of the world and lead our private lives into social oblivion.
The solution is not “battle, but total, all-out, unconditional war, war with no-quarter. Until you men are willing to mercilessly hurt people, literally, you will keep retreating and pass facelessly and uselesly into history.
