The NYT had an article from 2006 which described a very similar "training". It goes into greater detail. Here is an archived version without paywall: https://archive.ph/n4GPa

The book is good as well
Weak. Submissives, come to me and I will treat you as lesser than a dog. You may not be useless, but you are worthless 😎
I will throw you like Donkey Kong throws a barrel.
Isn’t this just reinforcement, like reinforcement vs punishment from behavioral psychology? It works.
The problem is not the actions. The problem is your mentality. If you're trying to train a human being, that sounds pretty f****** terrible. On the other hand, if you're trying to support for and care for them, it doesn't sound terrible.
Based on the wording, it sounds like the former, but perhaps you're just trying to make your post dramatic for the internet and the actual situation is more like the latter. We don't know, but you do, so act accordingly.
I don't see a problem here.
62yo male here thinks she's a damn genius... maybe she should like, make some of those tiktoks or something...
As a 62 year old, you should not encourage awful things...like going on TikTok
true, but how else are all those other women gonna learn her wise ways if she doesn't? american women anyways...
Yeah I think that's pretty gross. This person stated that the person they are dating is emotionally unavailable and has potentially been abused as a child. But because they find them pretty, they decided to manipulate a person like they manipulate animals for selfish purposes. (Both are bad!) Their partner probably needs therapy not to be emotionally manipulated by their partner.
I am asking this more out of curiosity than criticism, but how would you deal with someone who is emotionally unavailable, shows signs of childhood abuse, but treats you pretty fairly?
Honesty?
Not like a dog?

Hey if it works out works. She is an asshole for not using proper grammar and punctuation though.
