I would be inclined to agree that able bodied adults should stand up for themselves, and sometimes people simply enjoy arguing with each other. Lord knows I do. But for whatever reason, they don't stand up for themselves, and I don't get the impression that this power imbalance was mutually agreed upon.
I saw a youtube video the other day about a guy describing his experience with an emotionally abusive romantic partner and the heavy toll it had on his physical and emotional well-being. His description of his partner's treatment just seemed a bit too similar to how one of my friends treats her boyfriend. It's got me wondering about his mental health and whether or not he's genuinely okay with the way she treats him.
The video is this one, btw:

Do my intentions really matter if the result is the same either way?
