Domestic abuse against men: The tragic consequences

People love to push this narrative that violence is strictly a male issue—that men are the only ones out there looking to lash out or get physical with women. But if you actually look at the facts, you'll see that women are just as capable of turning violent against their husbands or other men. This list of links should clear that up for anyone still clinging to that one-sided view.

I realize this might trigger the feminists who insist aggression is exclusively a male trait, just as much as it’ll sting the chauvinists who hate admitting they ever lost a fight to a woman. On the flip side, you've got the aggressive activists who'll probably cheer because they think those guys got exactly what was coming to them, while the weak-willed men will just sit there worrying about how "male safety" is being threatened by women.

You aren't particularly interesting to anyone yet, considering nobody has even bothered to reply to you. 🙂 🙂

And what is that percentage, really??? I suspect it's significantly lower than the alternative. Of course, it exists—I'm not suggesting otherwise—but it doesn't seem quite that probable... 😵 😵

Let's keep this moving.

I mean, what kind of percentage are we actually talking about here??? I guess it’s probably way lower than the other way around. I mean, sure, it happens, I'm not saying it doesn't, but it doesn't seem that likely, I suppose. 😵 😵

Physical violence is probably more common, but you shouldn't overlook psychological abuse, which I think women actually commit against men at a higher rate. ☕

Man, I really feel for you guys.
☕ Look, if she’s mentally breaking you down, just walk away. It’s as simple as that. ☕
But it's a whole different story when a man is hitting a woman. She clings to this idea that he’ll change... that *she* can be the one to fix him....
🤣 The guy who’s laying hands on her was almost certainly abusing her psychologically first. And he probably still is. 😂

I had a woman tell me once how she was constantly checking in on a friend, bringing over meals, trying to help... But what does any of that matter if the woman herself refuses to leave such an abusive husband??? She just keeps saying: "He's actually a good man...," "He hasn't hit me in a month...." "Not me or the kids..." 😲 😲 Give me a break. He's not a damn good man. ☕ ☕

I guess it really depends on how you look at it, but if you’re arguing that he should just walk away from someone who’s constantly stringing him along—which, honestly, isn't necessarily doing anything "wrong" in a way he can immediately spot, other than the blatant manipulation—but because that's exactly how she's screwing him over (I don't know, I personally see that kind of thing as psychological abuse, and I think it's why I ended up being overly cautious around women, so I don't really trust anyone 🙂)—then you could just as easily say that she should back off after a single strike. And let’s be real, a physical hit is unequivocally wrong, especially when it becomes a pattern where she knows deep down it won't be "the last time."

And honestly, I think it's actually pretty rare to find a girl who goes through twenty different guys over ten years and hits every single one of them. If a guy walks away after the first unwanted strike (and I’m not even counting sexual 😳 incidents here), then that's that. You see plenty of guys get caught up in situations with people who don't know how to say no, even when they don't actually want to say yes. Dammit, that leaves scars that last a lifetime. It's a much bigger deal in the long run than one slap in the face. Look, I'm not condoning physical violence, I'm just saying it isn't the absolute worst thing that can happen to a person.

Good grief, I wonder what's coming next 🤣

Here’s something worth looking at:

It's a whole different story when we're talking about a woman being physically abused by a guy. They always think they can change him... like they have this magic power to fix him.... 🤣 😂 But the guy hitting her? He was definitely messing with her head long before he ever laid a hand on her. And he keeps doing it.

I had this woman tell me once how she was constantly running over to her place, trying to help, bringing her food and stuff... But what's the point of all that if the woman herself refuses to leave an abusive husband??? She just keeps saying: "He's actually a good guy..." "He hasn't hit me in a month..." "Neither me nor the kids..." 😲 😲 Yeah, he's a "good guy," my ass. ☕ ☕

come on, tell me you're joking :facepalm on 3256585:

I know this is just another one of those mindless threads meant for trolling, but man... you really hit the nail on the head here. <bold> <italiks> <bold>
I'd be embarrassed not to realize that psychological abuse is way more insidious, way more common, and much harder to spot than physical violence. That's why it's so much harder for victims to actually get out. Plus, most people don't even see anything beyond a few bruises as "abuse," so there's zero support from anyone around them. Seriously, can we get a competency test just to join this forum? please.

When I see certain people on here, it honestly makes me ashamed to be a woman. 🙂

I am fully aware that this is just one more incredibly moronic thread designed solely for mockery, but in your case... you actually managed to hit the nail right on the head. <bold> <italiks> <bold>
Personally, I would be embarrassed not to realize that psychological abuse is far more insidious, widespread, and difficult to recognize than physical violence, which makes it even harder for a victim to distance themselves from an abuser. Furthermore, most people don't even consider anything beyond physical battery to be actual abuse, so there is virtually no support from those around them. Please, someone just implement a competency test for forum registration, for goodness' sake.

When I see certain individuals, I feel ashamed to even identify as a woman. 🙂

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa??? You are truly pathetic. How could you possibly assume I don't understand what that is??? And forget about "society," you aren't getting any younger, are you??? 🙄 🙄 Well, if that's the case, then surely you should know that generally speaking, if you won't help yourself, no one else is going to do it for you. That applies to psychological abuse and everything else in life. Good grief, the level of naivety present here is staggering. ☕ ☕

I can see you’ve really mastered the art of conversation, major props 👍
. It’s honestly no surprise you’re looking more gray than blue <italiks><bold> ☕

Elizabeth Davis said:I see your communication skills are truly top-tier. Bravo. 👍
It’s hardly surprising you’re more gray than blue <italiks><bold> ☕

I am simply returning the energy I receive, nothing more and nothing less.🙄 🙄 It isn't my fault if someone else struggles with basic reading comprehension. 😉 😁

clearly you don't even get what I mean by "the same standard," since your only move was to take a cheap shot at me. I'm just not about sinking to that level, so I'll pass. 👋

Elizabeth Davis said:It seems you don't even grasp the concept of "equal treatment," given that your response was nothing more than a personal insult. I have no desire to stoop that low, so I will simply decline to engage at your level. 👋

No, I don't. 😢 😢

Goodness, I can practically feel the tears welling up already. 🤣 😂
