The problem is genderless, but expressed in a gender-specific way, i.e. according to appropriate socialization. Women ridicule men because they think they are incapable, and incapable of feeling. Men mock women because they find them unpleasant. At the same time, many couples make fun of each other as if it’s good humor, just like their children. I think it’s just that we worryingly little about ourselves and others. Otherwise, we would not talk like that to each other and about each other and would not accept when others speak badly of us.
There is a completely different problem: in general, an extremely poor ability to communicate. If your partner is portrayed as dominant and you as accommodating, it is simply a frustrated result of two parties failing to constructively communicate their needs and feelings over a period of time. It’s the same when a woman presents her partner as emotionally crippled: who exactly is emotionally crippled here? And what can you do to get a better idea of the person you really love?
The main thing is that we set an example for our children. If we talk bad about our partners, bad about ourselves and bad about them, what should they think? They think that no one deserves respect and love. Or not without consistent performance. This is the lesson they inevitably learn from such language, and they subsequently apply it to themselves, their partners, and their children on a daily basis. They will scoff at boring men and difficult women because that is what they were shown. This is what is meant by socialization.
