I have read your post twice and I agree. Now can you write a post explaining why Dominican women have this same problem.
A lot of Dominican women have this problem mainly because of the limited choices.
Being poor and from the ghetto it would be a lot harder for a woman than it would be for a man to marry up.
You need to take into consideration that the men pursue woman, not the other way around.
When the table turns, it means the woman isn't any good; "un avion".
These women would end up partnering with the thugs (for lack of a better word) from the hoods.
"El tigre" with the best rapping skills; you know the one who says the right things and has an answer for everything.
I know plenty of Dominican women that are treated pretty bad in DR by their Dominicans spouses or boyfriends. Many of my Puerto Rican boys and African American boys treat their ladies not good, but NOTHING like Dominicans.
Please don't be fooled. Machismo is a Latin thing for which women have adapted. Even Blacks do the same.
There isn't a women who would volunteer for this. It just do happen. The vast majority of Dominican women don't buy into it either. Some simply end up in a abusive, masochistic relationships.
Although this behavior appears rampant as of late, it is not the norm in all the social classes.
Poor Dominicans might be trapped in an abusive relationship due to necessity. You have to remember that back in time, women did not work, men were the only providers. As a result, women had limited choices.
I was raised in the hood, my friends or I never hit our girlfriends. I don't recall the craziness that is going on right now.
BTW There is a guy that I know lives in La Castellana with his family, nice home, car the whole nine. He has another family in SD Este and the kids and GF has less a lot LESS then his family in La Castellana. Can you explain to me why?
This is the same everywhere!
The mistresses never have the same privileges as the wife.
This has been the norm in DR since forever. The ultimate disrespect a Dominican man could do to his wife would be to treat his mistress the same as his wife, financially that is.
Did you know that it was accepted for Dominican men to have multiple families? Although this is fading, many Dominicans are still pulling this off.
In a nutshell, this is something that happens through out Latin American. Some blacks also behave this way.
Hence the term "Latin Lover".
I apologize for the reply; since you were asking Dominic... specifically. :chinese:
