I think I saw this particular graph in a military version during SAPR month (for those who don't know, it's mandatory Two Hours Man Hate every few days with feminist slide visual AIDS) but Roissy is right to frame it as a list of what women really want from men:
I take the actual intent more as the soft advocacy of the tactics among women, as it's a list of tactics much, much, much more likely to be used by women than men, ('you MUST KNOW these common tactics which WILL BE USED ON YOU BY EVIL MEN and therefore IT'S PERFECTLY FINE FOR YOU TO USE THEM PREEMPTIVELY) whether 'abuse' exists in the relationship or not, certainly in the divorce phase, but often a whole lot in the run-up to divorce, especially the comically large amount of concern over 'family money,' an issue which is generally of obsessive interest to 99% of women seeking marriage and 0.01% of men (John Kerry excepted.)
When you put POWER AND CONTROL at the center of the chart, and put all of the USE ABUSE headers in friendly green, the only thing I'm reading from it is a not-so-veiled how-to, for women intentionally, and for men unintentionally
“smash things” — occasional bursts of anger, when justified, are cues of sexy male dominance and they do turn on women.
“make her do illegal things” — the ghost of Bonnie chortled.
“threaten to leave her” — dread game.
“make her ask for money” — because throwing money at women really makes them fall more in love. /sarcasm
“give her an allowance” — if women have no agency in abusive relationships, shouldn’t they be treated like children for their own protection?
“not let her know about or have access to family money” — chicks dig mysterious men. by the way, this PSA is starting to read like an action plan for fleecing wealthy beta males.
“take her money” — aka make a woman feel like she’s invested in you. she’ll try harder to make it work.
“be the one to define men’s and women’s roles” — chicks dig a leader. and they also dig benevolently sexist men!
“make all the big decisions” — because letting women make big decisions works out real well when they’re trying to decide whether to leave an abusive alpha male.
“treat her like a servant” — 50 Shades of Gray has sold millions of copies. To women.
“act like the master of the castle” — this has got to be a feminist secret wish list.
