Not just...but also...

Sadly, they do.

Women enable men like Matt Lauer and Charlie Rose

It can be immensely frustrating to see that women will still too often make excuses for certain men and tolerate bad behavior from those men that they would never tolerate from women. Why? Did they learn it from their parents? Is it how just they get through life? You see them jumping through hoops, devaluing others and making excuses for that man's abusive behavior just because he is so-and-so. It makes you want to go elsewhere and not be there any longer.

If someone has a bad day, or even a number of bad days after something stressful, that's one thing, and everyone is human. But what if it starts to seem like some people just keep taking their pain out on others over and over? That's such an unhealthy behavior pattern that it can be downright sickening, and you know it's not necessary, because although Person X went through XYZ and was difficult to be around, when Person Z had to go through not only XYZ but also ABC and DEF, this was not the case. So why are some people like that? Did they learn it  somewhere, from cherished role models? Is it just how they get through life?  There are whole unhealthy cultures that crop up around people making excuses for mediocre behavior.  It teaches you more about what you don't want to emulate in the future.
