And once again, we’re having to ask “What about men?” Many think it’s funny that people ask this question, as if the answer is always going to be some silly way of including men where they don’t belong, but it’s often used as a silencing tactic. Ironically it’s all from a group that claims to want equality, but very few of them really do.
Women commit half of all partner violence and are just as controlling as men.
The same research which is used to say that a woman is severely assaulted by her husband/boyfriend every 15 second in this country, also indicated that a man is severely assaulted by his wife/girlfriend every 14.6 seconds.
Women are more likely than men to “stalk, attack and abuse” their partners. (also here)
While men are less likely to report violence, which distorts crime data, virtually all randomized sociological surveys show women initiate domestic violence as often as men and use weapons more than men, that men suffer one-third of injuries, and that self-defense explains only a small portion of domestic violence by either sex.
Lesbian and bisexual relationships are more violent than heterosexual relationships.
Women are more likely to abuse their children, which only further proves that women are more violent than they’re made out to be.
And despite all of this, we still have people believing that men are more violent than women. We still have people jumping to protect abused women, while ignoring female on male violence, cheering for abusive women, or laughing at abused men, and this can mostly be attributed to feminist causes only representing the side of the issue that they care about, not the full picture. The Federal Government, under feminist pressure, still pays grants to police departments in proportion to the number of men jailed under VAWA legislation, leading to an incentive for police to expand the defintion of ‘domestic violence’ to absurd extremes, and when a man who calls the police to report domestic violence, he is three times more likely to be arrested than the woman who is abusing him, leaving any possible children between them alone with the violent parent. Where’s the child advocacy in that?
Anybody that participates in this “awareness” week is not raising awareness of domestic violence, but once again reinforcing the “women are weak and innocent, men are strong and violent” stereotype by ignoring that domestic violence goes both ways and is more often perpetuated by women than men. All this bullshit says is that men aren’t the ones that need to learn how to walk in someone else’s shoes. Really, how goddamn hard is it for feminists to take the focus off of women, walk a mile in men’s shoes, and look at the bigger picture here?
