I just can’t imagine a woman saying, “yeah, he’s going to rape my daughter, but I really love him!”
You have a very limited imagination and limited experience in moving outside middle our upper class social circles or you are being dishonest. Go out and meet some young people in your nearest underclass neighbourhood. Or if that is too scary read up on the sociology papers on such communities.
Even outside of that, women find dark triad traits sexually attractive in men. Getting away with violence is also sexy. Now pause to consider in addition to thins things like Stockholm syndrome and do the math.
Also to add mere anecdotal evidence a good friend of mine in primary school was routinely beaten up by the trashy boyfriends his mother dragged home so I have very little patience for “oh noble mothers never make bad decisions for their kids in order to follow their romantic or sexual preferences!” sacrednesssignalling.
The whole article is mindkilling, and this is one of the reasons I downvoted it.
I personally know at least two girls (now women) whose mothers didn’t mind too much the risk of their daughters being raped by their boyfriends. To be precise, their reasoning wasn’t exactly like “he’s going to rape my daughter, but I really love him”, but more like “I love him, so I am going to ignore all the evidence that he is trying to rape my daughter, including my daughter’s complaints”.
Meta: How likely is it that author’s political orientation made it more difficult to believe in existence of this kind of female behavior?
I once read an account of a person writing about the sexual abuse he (I think it was a he) had to undergo as a child, where his stepfather would routinely rape him if there was an opportunity for it. His mother was aware of this and considered it an annoying chore to try to ensure that the two wouldn’t end up alone with each other, one that she would rather not have bothered with.

Fair enough.
Still, it would be nice to see some actual numbers from Brazil, which nobody seems to have.
