Oh give me a break, puhleeez.
Please explain.
And what about the sheer emotional violence perpetrated by wives whenever they give their hubbies “The Look”?
I have noticed a greater public evidence of the violence in younger women and teenage girls towards each other (friends!) and towards guys. Go through facebook and read how they post.
Typically, men act out, but women do other things. Women are no less evil than men and watch, it will get worse, especially with the effects of the media portraying men as dumb and dumber.
You scoff, but if a guy is being beaten or verbally abused, and he won’t even ask for directions, do you really think he is going to say a word about it? We can’t even get our depressed and stressed vets to talk to their buddies about it. We lose 1 veteran to suicide every 18 hours. Guys just don’t talk! Finding them and getting them back on track is the greatest challenge.
I disagree. If a man has been raised to never hit a woman and a woman beats on him, most won’t hit back.
I read a legal board and on domestic violence if the law is called it is the man who gets arrested unless he is bleeding or something. It doesn’t matter who calls the law.
In divorce and custody cases one of the first accusations is physical abuse and then it is up to the man to prove that he didn’t abuse. They take the position that the man really COULD hurt the little wifey or the children and just the accusation is enough to raise real questions.
Know of this happening, man wouldn’t report it until his wife beat him within an inch of his life with a baseball bat. Even then he was forced to report it.
I saw a very good example back in 1982. I was a first sergeant at the time and one of my young soldiers had been arrested for domestic violence a couple times. Our CO wanted to court martial him and kick him out. The Army was making a big thing of violence against women at the time, it was right up there with drinking alcohol.
I knew the young man and couldn’t believe he’d ever hit his wife. I rode to his home one Saturday with a 6-pack to check things out. His wife was a cute little thing with very pale skin. When she saw I was there only to talk to her husband she got mad – she was being ignored. She went off and started yelling and throwing things. He said we should leave. She stood in front of the door and blocked our way. He held her arms and pulled her away from the door, we left and talked in the front yard. A couple minutes later cops shoed up, tased him and arrested him for domestic violence. His wife had bruises on her arms. I was threatened if I interfered.
I gave the CO a full report, he said he’d consider it. A week later at my morning formation another wife showed up, I told her to leave but she stormed into my formation and started beating on her husband. The CO believed me.
