The next time some person tells you that men are the victims of family violence too, remind them men are killers.
Many researchers believe that men do suffer domestic violence -- according to a 2007 Harvard study, 70% of non -- reciprocal is against men by women. Even Huffington Post has articles on the issue of male victims.
Nevertheless, some researchers believe that acknowledging the issue of male DV victims hurts women.
Great minds like Elena Lobacheva, Raina Mersane, and Jenna Price believe that men should not be viewed as victims:
From what I can find, at least 40% of domestic abuse is suffered by men on average.It's been known for a few years know that women are actually more violent and coercive in relationships.
Surprise?

Why the hell should they not get help and protection? This can be solved in a much better way if you have someone there to help you go through the abuse. It's never really a good thing to go through something as terrible as abuse without anyone to help you out.The answer is "No." They should stand up straight and start acting like men. No man with normal self-respect would ever let his wife or girlfriend abuse him in the first place, let alone run to teacher about it.
Yes, it is.

Honestly it doesnt make either gender look 'good' to abuse others....male, female, family members, employees, animals, etc. I dont see that as 'gender-specific.' Being abusive shows a huge character deficit IMO.
And when it comes to that, it's often harder for women because they are the ones that usually are responsible for the children. At the same time, they are also responsible for recognizing that children remaining in that environment are likely to repeat it when they grow up.
Hurr surf men tough women weak
Well, to the most part the man in the relationship is bigger and stronger. :shrug:
So what?
There's more potential to cause greater harm. Seems I remember there was all this press and attention around women suffering violence, in fact, the NFL had a very recent campaign about it, now I see it being walked back and the notion that women can physically defend themselves just as much as any man and I'm not sure that's really doing anyone any favors.

Agreed but men are often victims of women who use weapons like pans or brooms when they attack... those guys generally just try to defend themselves or get out of the area. My point is that women compensate for being weaker by using a weapon.
So I do admit to not being especially sympathetic to people who remain in abusive situations. You have 2 options (unless you decide to kill the person abusing you.) I know it's not 'that easy.' That's not the point.
Domestic violence is domestic violence, I do not think we should categorize when it happens to a woman or a man *at the hands of* a woman or a man. Treat it the same, prosecute it the same and we end up covering all violence no matter who is the victim and the disposition of the relationship to whoever else.
Pans or brooms?
What was Dagwood Bumstead's wife named again?
Do you mean that Dagwood and Blondie cartoon strip?
Yeah, those were my ex's two favorite ones. She would throw pans when I was not looking. She was alwo a terrible freaking aim so they would fly past me and break her things often, or things she liked, like pictures, plants, etc... :lol:
