Lots of the stuff said about women statistically get abused more is odd because women understand them as the victim and will report it most of the time, while not many men would go to a court and testify against they're female partner for abuse.

You have access to the internet. The world wide web (they call it that for a reason ya know). Basically everything and anything you could ever possibly want to know, all at the touch of your fingertips. Even if you hit a wall and need to discuss something, you can communicate with others and climb those walls.
.. and you claim you're watching Oprah "because you have nothing better to do" ?
No words.

Like most people have said, 85% of domestic abuse victims are women - and that includes estimates of unreported violence on both sides. Not to mention the fact that when men abuse women, it is more than six times as likely to inflict bodily harm. Obviously violence against anyone in a relationship is not good, and there are times when women's organizations have been callous about their treatment of legitimate female-on-male abuse, but any way you stack it, women are far far FAR more likely to be seriously harmed at the hands of a partner and the ratio of time given to male domestic violence victims versus female domestic violence victims is totally appropriate.
Two other things to remember: A significant number of women who kill their husbands do so because they were being abused by that husband and saw no other way out, whereas fewer than 1% of all murders of women by men cite "attempting to stop habitual abuse" as a factor.
Secondly, the entire concept of sexual assault/abuse, which is a huge factor in domestic abuse, is almost completely one-sided. I am confident saying that the number of men who are repeatedly raped by their wives or girlfriends is incredibly low, while it is ridiculously high for women.
I don't see what the point is, complaining about this. Clearly the statistics as well as common sense will point you towards the conclusion that women have it far "worse" than men when it comes to domestic abuse.

Dude, were you recently dumped, or something? That's some intense misogyny...Shark Wrangler said:

to add, i have done a little looking into this in the past while looking for synthesis essays to write for classes, and from what i was finding after some digging it seemed to be rather common for men to not report it, and i had even found cases were men who called the police for help ended up being the ones arrested for the abuse. because apparently it was the police regulation to automatically detain the male in any DV call. even if the male is the one with the injuries, and even if the female is STILL ABUSING HIM while the the cops are there. so yes female on male violence is one of the MOST UNDER-REPORTED and most UNDER PROSECUTED crimes, (in the states at least) and some of the places i found estimated that when accounting for other factor the difference was much closer to 50/50 still more M on F but not nearly 85% to 15%

I do think that such things have much more to do with how small minded the person is and very little with the gender. Ofcourse you have the infamous double standard, but anything other is the personality of said person, not of his/her gender.KaizokuouHasu said:
