They also spend a lot of time reminding everyone how abusive Jonah Hills was

:#deadhorse:

Hill, for his part, relied on a mixture of thoroughly manipulative therapy-speak and good old-fashioned slut shaming to keep his then girlfriend in line. What's most objectionable about the messages is his blatant use of his own mental health journey as a means to control Brady. Hill has spoken very publicly about his body image issues and his mental health, and even made a documentary about his therapist. I imagine that watching him turn on her using his newly discovered therapy language must have been nothing short of traumatizing for Brady.

Omg, that poor womxn!

Someone put it really well: there's a big difference between "boundaries" and "expectations." Boundaries are limits we put on ourselves; expectations are something we try to put on others.

So a "boundary" might be, "I won't stay in a relationship where I'm treated disrespectfully."

If someone says, "My boundary is that you have to do X," that's not a boundary (and that person might be an abuser).

Their real point is that constantly restating your boundaries is just nagging. If the behavior was actually boundary crossing, you would leave.

Unfortunately they don't understand their point so they can't state it plainly.

Also they'd probably consider it manipulative to leave someone over your boundaries (if you're male)
