Women Who Beat Their Men - Every 38 seconds a man is being abused at the hands of a woman!

The sad thing is that all a womana has to so is say that she was provoked and she's let go! Men are seen as monster for abusing their women but women are seen as empowered for abusing their men! There shouldn't be this sicking double standard

AKA - Lionel Richie Disease.

I usually come out on the opposite side of this argument, simply because when you have a lengthy history of women being viewed as the possession of their fathers, husbands, boyfriends, etc., the potential for abuse has been staggering, and for decades, women had no advocates, no recourse, no resources. Even their own mothers told them to stay in their abusive marriages, or that they were somehow responsible for the abuse.

Creating laws and agencies that provide advocacy for women though, may indeed have tipped the scales as far as public perception goes, particularly when it comes to the legal system. I recently posted a story about a father who was shot and killed in front of his 2-year-old daughter as he attempted to flee the police. The police, in my opinion, seriously over-reacted and pushed the envelope beyond reason. I have to stop and question whether they would have shot and killed a mother in the same situation, but there is a societal perception that men are somehow more dangerous than women, and that perception permeates our society, in part, simply because of the physical differences between men and women. Even in the BigMomma video above, you know that woman could probably not have kicked that guys butt if he hadn't been under the influence of something. I think that anytime you pass laws or create agencies whose basis for action is either gender, race or religion, you are setting yourself up for this sort of backlash. Our laws and agencies should address bias and abuse based on evidence, not gender, race or religion, but it's hard to do that when people view everything through their own filters, and police, lawyers and judges are no exception, irregardless of the fact that they would like us to believe that they are.

One of the filters in operation here is how we define masculinity. God knows our definitions of masculinity need re-examining, but existing definitions play into the reaction men get when they are the abused, and not the abuser. When you live in a society that teaches men their primary role is to dominate, and let's face it, that message permeates in everything from the workplace, to sports, to movies, to video games, then a man who is being victimized translates into a man who is not meeting societal expectations. I am not in any way shape or form defending this, I am just saying, perception is part of the problem. We don't easily think about why we do what we do, or question perceptions that are seen as primal, until we find ourselves victimized by those perceptions.

And people wonder why men don't want to marry. Odds are against us.

zomg i love tyra banks.

ADD MY OLDER SISTER TO THAT LIST. SHE USED TO BEAT THE BREAKS OFF OF ME,... UNTIL I GOT OLDER.

In my client/patient's family experiences in home care with both sexes I find: Men are usually straight-forward in their actions and their verbal answers.. On the other hand women can be conniving and deceitful in both what they say and do, and therefore I think, harder to determine the actual truth to abuse against a male.
In dealing with family dynamics women tend to be manipulators within their households, especially if the household is well taken care of and well 'appointed', she is usually the one in control.
Women who are abused and under control tend to shy away from others that come into their homes and fade into the back round, yet always doing what is demanded of her and what is needed to be done.
You can usually 'feel' something wrong within a household when both the abuser and abused are there in the room when you start doing the history and admission info on the patient/client for home care.

im a firm believer of equal rights, if a woman hits you, hit her back, on the other hand i never have and never will wit a woman.

once i had a ex-girlf friend that made the verbal threat that she would kick my ass! sweetie i love you but i dont thinks thats a wise idea, do you really think your going to come out on top? "ill kick you in the nuts" you might stop me with that but when i get up im breaking both of your legs...

wow. in my neck of the woods those women are usually refered to as the crazy chick; and we just chalk it up to her being crazy. im my personal life i have been to jail twice because of the "crazy chick" its another reason those situations dont get reported,whose going to believe us? my last ex is 5'1 and about 90 lbs. and white with a hair trigger temper; im 5'9 230 and black. do you really think my story is going to hold any water in court.? not likely. hopefully tyras show sheds a little bit of light on the situation.

I was wondering when a feminist full of one up"man"ship's (I just love using words like this with the feminists as it annoys them) requiring mythological statistics would show up to affirm her victimhood is greater than a mans. Its always a zero sum game with the victim oriented feminists. Rather than accept the fact that violence and abuse is not a gendered behaviour and supporting both sides getting the help they need these folks do not want to lose or share their entitlements and either deny or find cherry picked statistics that suit their argument.

As opposed to every five seconds a woman being abused at the hands of a man...

This is unfortunately far too common but the MSM just ignores it. In the past short while we have seen Chris Brown get clubbed with a stiletto heal (who got charged?), Tiger woods with a 9 iron to the head, and Mary K. Blige the hypocrite who started a DV shelter for women only punch out her hubby at a night club. None of these women were charged but look what happened to Charlie Sheen and his wife has recanted.

Im not shocked that this is just now coming up as an issue, women have been taking it upon themselves to attack the men in their lives out of anger for years. The sexual discrimination bandwagon is still rolling along just fine, Im sure if you dug up some stats on child custody cases you'd see that they side with women most of the time and this is not always the best course.
I have a friend who has been to jail several times from being attacked by his wife but he's so much of a gentleman that he has never hit her back yet he is the one who ends up in jail. The friend in question has been assaulted by her with whatever she can get her hands on which includes just about everything but the kitchen sink but everytime the cops come she will cause some minor superficial marks to herself and off he goes to jail bleeding from her assault.

The ironic thing is she was my childhood sweetheart...whats even more ironic is I left her because she punched me dead in the face out of anger one fine day.

coolie, the reasons for abuse, the reasons for staying with an abuser, and the outcomes of these actions are the same regardless of gender. I left my abusive situation before it got bad. The yelling, the irrationality of it all prompted me to ask for counseling, and it was scheduled. When I got pushed into a wall for not knowing how to put up a fake tree (i always had real ones and figured wed just figure it out) in front of both of my children. I asked her to leave. She stayed at my parents house and eventually called DYFS on me accusing me of having drug parties when I was with her and the children on the weekends. She was using my mothers car and told her she was house sitting for a week for a friend of her family.... When I saw this person waiting for the bus during the time she was supposedly house sitting, he informed me it was only 1-2 days instead of a week. It took her another two weeks to return the car to my parents...... She outright refused to do the counseling when it came to be and has begun to try and convince our daughter that I left her for no reason. Unfortunately our daughter witnessed the events and we often consoled each-other while her mom was on her tirades....... When this was brought up to the courts along with witness statements and police reports. I was stonewalled not only by my own lawyer, but the courts refused to hear it and awarded custody to this woman......

Abuse of any kind, emotional or physical is demeaning, rude, childish and above all shows that one lacks humility. Without the strength to be humble no person can really be strong. Humility will take a person far in life, with it comes respect. Abuse is the bottom, the perpetrator of abuse has no self dignity, no self respect and zero respect for others.
Love and abuse are at opposite ends of the rainbow, the two are so far apart they can never be one.

I was emotionally abused by my wife and I stayed because I kept thinking love would eventually win out if I was patient with her. After 5 years of hell my patience ran out and I left her. I think emotional abuse from the man or the woman can be as damaging as physical abuse.

i saw a film on this issue once! i still feel that it would be easier for the male to leave an abusive relationship i never understand why they stay.

I remember the night my boss went to jail after his wife hit him with a frying pan. The police said someone had to go and a mother belonged with her children. He was never charged, just held over night; like that makes it ok.

Really, and I was resigned to paying some dominatrix in stilettos to kick me.....

This is a serious issue though, and for all the fuss made about double standards that don't benefit women, it's nice to see a couple on the flip side. Men really really tend to get it bad on child custody issues as well.

Thankfully this subject matter is in the capable hands of a seasoned journalist like Tyra Banks.

What is the chance that story like this one will get featured on Current? It's interesting that people just do not want to believe that women are capable of lies, abuse their children, and abuse their husbands. As a woman I find it sad that many men often choose not to believe that men are being abused at the hands of women.

The most recent case of celebrity abuse is MJ BLige who punched her b/f in the face and he got kicked out of the club while she went to the bathroom to fix her hair.... She also funds DV shelters in NYC that do not allow men......

The sexual discrimination bandwagon has, until recently, been predominantly ridden by people who see all women as victims and all men as predators. I hope that this changes, because men are human beings, also.
