At some point women have to take accountability for their own bad decisions. I would cut my brother off if he was physically abusive in a way but other than that this woman is choosing stay and that teaches the man that the behavior is acceptable. Now if I found out that he was cheating on his partner I would confront him and shame him for it 100%. Men need real consequences for bad behavior or they will continue to push boundaries.
stockholm syndrome is not a real thing, it was made up, and personally I agree I wouldn't want a brother like that in my life, I don't think its some big deal despite being close to my siblings, I'm sorry but this person is grown enough to get married which means that they are old enough to know what they are doing is wrong. Not only did he cheat on his wife but he clearly abusive, none of this says "I'm a Feminist man" to me, this is just straight up a bad person that clearly doesn't care for anyone but themselves, if they can do that to someone that they are supposed to spending the rest of their life with and put above everyone else then what could they do to me/ what have they done behind my back that I just don't know about. That said, I do however disagree with the approach of the sister in law as she can't force anyone into this decision of completely cutting off a sibling but I do also understand that she most likely feels a sense of betrayal and most likely needs others around her to take some sort of action to distance themselves from her former partner to feel supported in her decision (likely a symptom of being manipulated for a long time)
You can be a feminist and still be a victim of abuse
