You can't hit me, you're the woman!

[omega 616]

I think your weak whether your a man or woman to stay with an abusive partner, the only reason your still with them is 'cos your too weak to leave them and think there the only ones who will have you.

Just my thoughts anyway.

 

[Kimjira19]

Yeah, I find that double standard to be quite annoying.

 

[Big_Blue824]

All the other websites I find quote this statistic...it has to be old, right? I mean, they always tell women to leave their abuser, right?

Heh, way I see it, they are abusing them because of something wrong with them. More likely than not they will hunt them down if they leave them and do something about it if not stopped by somebody else, hopefully the law enforcement of the area.

I saw it as more of a "former alcoholic is more likely to become addicted to alcohol again," type of thing. Someone who was beaten before is more likely to be beaten in the future, due to low self-esteem, already being conditioned/resigned to it, or for whatever reason. It makes sense, but I could be wrong.

Because it's wrong to hit women, it's ok to hit men.

Not really. If one hits anyone its not okay and its assault.

The Scene when the main character gets raped in 40 days and 40 nights.

If that was a woman. That movie would have never been released.

Equality hmmm...

A gun doesn't care about the gender of the person who pulled the trigger, in our modern world woman on man rape is very possible

 

[Booze Zombie]

I've always found issue with this myself.
If a person attacks you, you defend, regardless of their gender.

How is that so hard to understand?

We all know Domestic Abuse is a serious thing and is pretty bad. I'm not trying to detract from that but the way its publiscised is beginning to annoy me.

In any advert that's trying to raise awareness for abusive situations its always the man who is abusing the woman/the children/the pet or whatever else is in the room. But why is it that these adverts never (that I've seen) show the woman being the culprit instead of the victim?

You'd think living in the century that we do that people would realise (especially the awareness raising people) that anyone can be the culprit of domestic abuse, not just angry men. Of course if all adverts are considered one universe then the men could be beating the women because women seem to embarass them at every given oppurtunity, even in situations that if the roles were reversed the man would be considered a monster or, at the very least, a bit of a jerk. I've even hard conversations (by both men and women) that go something along the lines of 'a man being beaten up by a woman? what a pansy' ... I may have used less colourful language but you get the idea.

The point I'm trying to make is that it seems to be a bit of a stigma for men to suffer at the hands of an abusive woman which is insane. This can be applied to any situation where men or women are looked down upon for something which someone of the other gender could do and get away with, if you want to add your own examples, feel free.

I guess I'm wondering if I'm alone in this thought and what you all think.

It's sad that all this shit happens and Women's rights activists still say they get the short end of the stick. I mean for Christs sake, they want everything men have and still keep all their privileges. Despite my last statement, I don't think there's anything a man can do that a woman isn't allowed to do except maybe volunteer to have their cock molded, and even then I bet if the woman was greedy the organization would be in court for sexism.

I dream of a star ship troopers world, you know were men and women were complety equal for a B movie it did challenge socity as a whole. You are complety right though, I was looking up an artical and it seems there are even cases of men being raped by women. This gender stigima needs to stop but probaly won't intill men can grows some balls and admitte that they too can be subject of abuse.

A woman cries abuse and shes a victim.

A man cries abuse and hes weak.

ok look at this
<youtube=eocCPDxKq1o>
whining about getting whacked with a golf club and getting chased around with an ax is not weak.

I love this song, and Pink. For once I see a song by her posted on here that wasn't done by me. It does have a good point though.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Hell, my chief mentioned this in class, wives beat on there men all the time, but the guy doesn't say anything because than he is an automatic wimp to most people, and he does not hit back because 9 times out of 10 he will be punished, but she will not.

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

*shrug*
Most of our societies have the system set up so that young boys learn that it is unacceptable to show weakness, emotion, or fear.
Instead, said boys should aspire to be stoic, able to handle anything, and generally not show emotion, I.E. weakness.

I had to deal with this crap alot in Primary school. Two girls punching me in my back and the back of my head for about a minute while waiting in line for the teacher. I hit one of them once, out of around 30 or so people around me no one saw me being hit by them except my best mate (Apparently him being my friend made his statement invalid). But everyone saw me hit back, for the next month i was declared a woman-basher by all female students. Then there was that girl that broke my arm during a game. According to the teacher I provoked her.

A woman cries abuse and shes a victim.

A man cries abuse and hes weak.

However,

A man sleeps with two women and he's a legend.

A woman sleeps with two men and she's a whore.

If a key opens a lot of locks, it's a master key

If a lock is opened by a lot of keys, then it's a shitty lock.



OT: Good to see someone is actually bringing this sort of thing up OP, I once heard of a man who was arrested and jailed for life because his wife got drunk, tried to stab him in the stomach and ended up killing herself.
