Script analysis has some interesting things to say about why some people repeatedly seek out abusive/horrible people to form a relationship with.
To be very clear, this is NOT victim blaming either. It does not in any way seek to excuse the behaviour of abusive people.
It's just not as simple as men vs women. There are promiscuous women, just as there are promiscuous men.
Same in any area of our lives. Plenty of hard nosed horrible women in business and management, just as there are men.
I used to think if women ruled the world it would be a much much better...
