True, I'm trying to convince my dad to let me stay in a dorm (which is far away from where I'm currently residing in), and he insists I stay with them because "I can't manage myself" (I still have till September of this year to prepare for life alone) and "I'm not a man," which I countered by saying masculinity is a social construct and no one says to a woman "You're not a woman" for failing to live up to a certain standard of femininity.
My main concern is staying with my sadistic mother and having to suffer even more physical and verbal abuse and being humiliated at the age of 18-22 by being my mother's punching bag. I will seriously call the police if I get a dorm room and she tries to visit me. I'm a fucking adult and I won't be pushed around like this.
@GeckoBus I actually used the arguments in your thread to debate my dad.
Why? Could you elab?
