Never heard of if either but my assumption is that they're pointing out that abuse isn't just beatings.

It's actually the opposite I think, raising awareness of emotional/mental abuse as well. "Maybe he doesn't hit you, but..."

agreed though, it's a dumb as hell hashtag choice

The intent was to highlight other forms of abuse. I'm sure the m'lady crowd is running in all sorts of other directions with it.

When I visit my grandpa in the Alzheimer's care home there's an ancient lady who thinks I'm her boyfriend and will latch onto my arm if she sees me until a nurse can pry her off. It's very uncomfortable and not cute.

Maybe it's different for me because I worked with them, but it's funny because it's harmless. Like, I remember one time I was helping this woman to the toilet and she said I could take her pants down but only if I showed her mine too. Or another women who usually thought she was on a date with me come dinnertime, and since she never had any appetite I'd always try and coyly suggest I like women who can clean their plate so that she'd eat a few extra bites.

Granted, there was also somebody there who tended to start sobbing and stripping naked during the evenings. That was less funny.

Pretty much this. It just depends on the patient. Right after HS, I spent a couple of summers working in the therapy department of a nursing home (old folks home for non-US goons). Alzheimer's patients got their own (locked) wing in the building because they tend to wander off.
Some of them exhibited very harmless flirting behavior that's either easy to ignore or easy enough to engage in without hurting the patient or anyone else. But there are plenty of other situations/patients where this does not apply. Example: There was this couple in the Alzheimer's wing who looked like a married old couple. They were always looking to make out, trying to sneak off. Turns out they didn't really know each other and both of them had spouses that regularly visited them. In cases like that, it's all about patient dignity. They generally aren't of clear mind when engaging in this behavior, therefore it is considered NOT OK. Nursing staff would always break it up.

Best part about the locked wing? It used an electronic 4-digit lock and had a note next to it saying: "The code is 1234 entered backwards". This was visible to all patients in that wing. They didn't get out and that should tell you something about their mental capacity and why it is not fair to them or their loved ones to let them engage in that behavior (most of the time).

There actually was a married couple at the place I worked, even though they didn't realize they knew each other most of the time. Apparently they didn't have a happy marriage, so really, it was probably for the best.

And yeah, having the code prominently displayed like that is pretty standard.

Hah, that reminds me: the nursing home's regular wing had a married couple but they were in separate rooms by request.
That was the most rewarding and the saddest job I ever had.

Humiliation kink plus porn addiction. Mix in low self esteem and blammo, it's more fun for you if someone "better" is doing the loving. I don't get it, but I can almost understand it.

Relentlessly telling people throughout their formative years that, "Whatever you feel is true and good, no matter what, and anyone or anything who challenges you emotionally in any way is evil and bad." has consequences.

We've overshot the legitimate objective of 'tolerance' by so much that we glorify aberrant behavior and mental illness. People use fun, poppy words like "kink" to describe the sexual desire to have your genitals crushed by a giant hamster while your wife gets railed by dude in a dead president mask.

Most twenty-somethings today don't remember that in the 90's and early 2000's the religious right was arguing that things like homosexuality and transexuality, deviant sexual behavior, and mental illness were a choice, not a mental or biological predisposition. However it happened, in the intervening years the pendulum swung all the way past the midpoint of 'rational consideration and understanding' and over to Orwellian suppression of all thought and dissent. Now groupthink tells us that everything is a choice and its hateful to even question people's 'choices,' like the preceding three million years of human evolution and socialization are bad and undesirable.

The effort to normalize through social force is so misguided, that it closes its eyes and ears to reality. The greatest leaders of progressive social change always preached love, kindness, and understanding; to set an example of goodness and tolerance. Outrage, lynch-mobs, suppression of contrarian thoughts, group shaming, racial McCarthyism, active ignorance and rejection of basic scientific truths, and emotional, irrational political positions were the tools of hate 50 years ago.
