The Overton Window (aka the Window of Discourse) determines what is acceptable to discuss as policy or law within a society or culture.  What the Overton window covers and what ranges from policy to unthinkable can vary widely over time and culture.  When discussing Maternal Abuse and Neglect there are good and bad actors acting on the range of the Overton window. 

The Flock of Abusive and Neglectful women strive to make sure policy recommendations that empower Abusive and Neglectful women remain policy.  They may pretend that they don’t know the policies they are recommending have a lot perverse incentive when they benefit women, but they definitely do see the “perverse incentive” of giving men the same legal privileges as women.

They do not use open and honest communication to do this.  Rather, they use the basest of rhetoric, lies, deception, logic fallacies and the like.  Aside from the deeply abused and neglected children modern society creates perhaps the saddest casualty of the Overton Window being moved so far to the left is modern women who think they are actually doing a good job.  There are many women that think it is radical or unthinkable that they should be a stay-at-home mother during their child tender years and they are actually doing a good job role modeling independence.

The modern woman with the modern Overton window responds with misguided anger when someone tries to mentor her.  Because she is factually wrong though, that unjustified anger is abusive.
