I’ve been rewatching Dirty John, both the original and the second season, Betty. The first season is horrific enough, a psychopathic hobosexual finessing hardworking career women and resorting to assault and attempted murder like most violent scrotes when they’re confronted. This obviously ties in with FDS ideology and the warnings given to women to avoid plagues like this, but the biggest example of what happens to a PickMe TM is the second season, which is also based on a true story. For those who haven’t seen it yet, Elizabeth Broderick is a woman who put all her time, effort, youth, money and energy into the piece of garbage that is Daniel Broderick. He uses her for everything she’s got, insists she works to help him pay for TWO postgraduate degrees bc she’s his (essentially) ride-or-die. He takes absolutely everything from her, babytraps her (with four children, may I add) and then once he meets a newer, younger model, he drops her. He gaslights her, strips her of all her assets and dignity, takes her children from her, humiliates her over and over again, to the point where she has a nervous breakdown and ends up killing him and his new Cool Girl TM.
This is such a telling example of what men will do to us. They will use us, humiliate us, take our humanity and then drop us as soon as they’re successful. Don’t stay with a man during his struggles, don’t let him rely on you, know that he DOES NOT CARE how much effort and time you put in while he’s down. As soon as he makes something of himself, he will forget you exist and find a new shiny toy to play with. Personally, I obviously do not agree with murder, but this is something that happens all the time. Men do not deserve us and our help. Choose HVMs that can and will help YOU. HVM are already established, they do not need to leach off you,
I love that show, it's like a series of great cautionary tales for women 🤣
Back when it first aired I got in some heated arguments with some people on the preddit sub for the show. 😁
Like obviously murder is not good, but some people got way too combative towards anyone who feels sympathy for Betty. I agreed with someone that Betty doesn't need to be kept in prison - the circumstances that led to her committing murder aren't likely to be repeated. Dangerous men who have a long history of committing random acts of violence are routinely let go to prey on the public, but somehow Betty needs to be in lockup? Doesn't make a lot of sense. The response I got was like "HOW DARE YOU ROOT FOR AN EVIL MURDERER?" 😆
Now I see it's because that site is full of scrotes who want to be like Dan without the getting murdered part.
The Betty Broderick story is truly heartbreaking. I remember watching a movie about her on Lifetime when I was a kid and even back then I realized that poor woman just totally snapped and justifiably so. I also don't condone murder, but her husband f*cked her over in so many ways that I'm not sure what he expected would happen. You can only take so much before your brain just breaks.
Dan Broderick had it coming. I said what I said!
Play stupid games win stupid prizes, but did the young lady the dead scrote cheated on Betty with deserve it?
Eesh I read a little more in Betty from her childrens account and the bf she had when she murdered Dan and his mistress. I have to say I do think both Dan and Betty are narcissists. They both were shit to their kids, neither prioritized their childrens well-being like at all….and Betty was psycho demanding money from jail from her bf. I do hood parents responsible to be caring for their children and this obviously didn’t factor in at all for Betty or Dan.
