How it's used

This expression is a harsh, judgmental way to describe someone who knowingly invites suffering or humiliation upon themselves. It carries a strong sense of contempt and is often used to criticize someone for being overly submissive or foolish in a relationship or social situation. It is much more aggressive than simply saying someone is making a mistake.
