this sounds like 'marriage is necessarily between a man and a woman'
and

this sounds like 'a woman can never be happy without a man' ,
that 'a lesbian just to be in love with a man to know what love really is'.
since when phd is necessaily a supervised trainning in doing research? as far as i know,
phd is an independent, orginial inquiry contributing to (collective) knowlege.
how abandoning an unhappy inadequate or useless supervision is an escape?
i will tell you that it takes tremendous courage and often support for abused women to leave their abusors.
most cannot. i will say that same thing about phd students who are in unpleasant situations.
i wonder who is really mistaken here.
