Sure, they do. There's a lot of male jerks out there. Should the women who are married to jerks stay with a jerk just for the money? Should they do whatever a jerk tells them to do just for the money? By your standards, women are damned if they stay and damned if they leave. I guess you just don't like women, even the decent ones.
By the way, if he acts like a jerk, and writes like a jerk...well, you know the rest.
