“ABUSIVE MEN COME in every personality type, arise from good childhoods and bad ones, are macho men or gentle, “liberated” men. No psychological test can distinguish an abusive man from a respectful one. Abusiveness is not a product of a man’s emotional injuries or of deficits in his skills. In reality, abuse springs from a man’s early cultural training, his key male role models, and his peer influences. In other words, abuse is a problem of values, not of psychology.”

— Lundy Bancroft, “Why does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men.”

Remembering how when my Mum left, my Dad still didn’t learn to cook or do anything else she’d been doing solo all those years.

I quickly taught myself to cook at age 10, using books from the library, as soon as I realised that every meal with my father was going to be a bag of frozen sausage rolls, plain toast, or nothing at all. By 13, I was cooking meals for him too.

And that’s how male incompetence trains women.

Can you provide some examples of auditory processing disorder?

One common exchange for people with auditory processing disorder is:

Person: *talks*

Me: What?

Person: *starts repeating themselves*

Me (cutting the other person off): Oh! *answers*

If you identify with that exchange, particularly if it happens a lot, you may have APD. APD is difficulty understanding spoken speech. Some examples of how if may affect people are as follows:

Similar words may sounds identical, like seventy and seventeen

Not being able to hear the person next to you due to background noise

Difficulty recalling things you’ve heard

Difficulty understanding and recalling the order of sounds or words. 357 may turn into 735 or elephant may turn into ephelant

Difficulty following spoken directions, particularly multi-step instructions

Easily distracted by background noise

Difficulty with word based math problems

Difficulty following conversations

Difficulty learning the words to songs

I hope this helps!
