It’s scary to see how girls tend to let boys control them so much. Their privacy is completely violated, and their opinions and decisions are not respected and disregarded. Unfortunately, some girls are blind to what is going on, and don’t do too much about the horrible situation that they are in. On the other hand, there are those who do try to escape such madness, but it is much more of a challenge than most girls think.
In Love My Rifle More Than You, by Kayla Williams, this is a topic that she talks about, because she experienced a similar situation like other young women, and it is something that means a lot to her. She says, “There was one more reason I enlisted in the Army. I wanted to prove a former boyfriend wrong.” (40) Having men treat women with no respect allows her not to live properly. Many girls just “go with the flow” and don’t pa attention to the tiny things that indicate that the guy she is with could care less about her, and don’t realize that as time passes, it only gets worse.
The way that lots of men make women feel is worthless, helpless, and inferior to them. Kayla goes on saying that, “I’m ashamed to admit it, but I was pretty into Douglas for a while, and that was hard, because I hated how Douglas made me feel-which was weak and vulnerable…Douglas turned into this twisted deal where I was supposed to like that he was cruel to me-.”(40) This is a common issue that occurs with women in all age groups; with young teenagers all the way through adulthood, and Kayla even says it herself, “I’m not proud I stuck with Douglas as long as I did, but lots of women stick in marriages far longer where worse stuff is happening. (And that sucks, too.)” (40)
Luckily, for Kayla Williams, it was easy for her to break up the relationship she had, because she left town to begin her military training, which ended everything-for good. Once again, not every young lady or woman is lucky as much as Kayla. For some ladies, it takes extremely long to finish something so terrible, and at times they feel like there is no hope. What is even worse than that is that some women never get out of these relationships, and if they do, sometimes they end up getting involved in a new relationship that has the same problem.
People say that women need to be gutsier and braver, but for a large amount of women, their life is on the line. Yes, there are those who can easily get their way out of that awful mess they’re in, but others can’t do it with such ease. Lots of women need to be aware of what is going on in their lives, and they need to react a lot quicker to be able to either pix the situation or conclude it and move on in life. Just like how quicksand sucks you in and drags you down, such men are exactly like that.

Everything you wrote is so true about 2/3 of the women out there. A lot of men tend to take all of the control in the family and all the women do is care for the family and follow her husband’s instructions. I say all women should stand up for themselves and stop letting the men take total control of her. Both genders are humans; why does one have more control than the other? For the ones that aren’t married yet it’s easier for them to get out of a relationship, but for the ones whose already married and has children. It hard for moms to divorce their husbands, because that will affect the kids and the entire family. Leaving their husbands will hurt the children as they are growing up, because they will have to deal with their parents not living together and having to live two different homes. Most mothers will stay in the relationship just for their children’s goods, but living each day unhappy with her life makes everything worst. They might think of quitting on life because her husband treats her badly, but she can not leave because of her little ones. As for the women who aren’t married, they can control their own life and if one relationship doesn’t work then there are plenty of men out there. Maybe there’s only one perfect man out of fifty, but keep searching. He’s out there somewhere. Maybe it’s by luck if a woman ends up with a nice man, but they shouldn’t give up. Finding someone who treats you right is an important thing in life because you’re going to spend the rest of your life with that person. Women shouldn’t let her husband or boyfriend mistreat them, so before thinking of marriage find the right man, so in the future they wouldn’t have to deal with the situation of divorce.
