An empty comments section. Men this is your value.
You can report but it will be filled away.
You can ask for help only to be told be a man.
You can be on your knees to be told well you are getting something out of it.
Doomed to a small article now and then that few will care to read or understand.
But here have some statistics (Provided by ManKind)
Of every 3 victims of DV 1 is male 2 are female.
DV against males is approximately 49% under reported compared to 19% female
Males are more likely to be injured or have life changing injuries in DV 32% in comparison to 23% however woman are more likely to be killed.
We need more help for male abuse victims regardless of age.
So many times if a man is abused, it’s met with “man up” or “get over it.”
I’ve been told myself on this sub to just “get over” the emotional and mental abuse I suffered when I was young.
I left my emotionally and verbally abusive ex the day she raised her hand to hit me in order to end a disagreement. It never got violent but if I’d had stayed I have no doubt it would have escalated to that.
I could write reams more but I’ve left it in the past and forgiven her as it is too much effort to hate her. She was raised by two very dysfunctional people and she needs help which she will probably never accept.
I was never in fear of the violence or of being hurt by my ex which I guess is a huge difference between what I experienced and what many abused women experience.
Where’s all the women that are against DV? You need to be held accountable to all women and stand up to stop this. This is your problem women of the UK.
Just the same as all men are held accountable for the opposite way.
It would be of interest to hear from those who would vote against such a mundane measure, if for no other reason than to see them own their opinion publicly.
Just go to a shelter…
Oh… oh yeah… those got taken over and banned men despite the women who founded it setting it up for all domestic abuse victims and being ousted from her own charity when she disagreed with “for women only”
There is such a gap in terms of awareness and provision for male DV victims.
The notion that ‘big strong men’ can’t be abused by women is sadly still prevalent and that needs to be challenged openly.
I see a lot of anger at Feminists in the comments but one of the key parts of Feminism is moving away from outdated notions of what gender roles are and the toxic effects it has on men and women.
Men will mock other men for being ‘whipped’ or ‘henpecked’ by their female partner. If a guy is made fun of for lesser issues like this, it doesn’t create an environment for him to be open about his experiences of violence.
But also we need to address old tropes, like women slapping the face of a man when offended or slighted. It’s not acceptable. If the reverse was shown on TV, there would be uproar.
Intimate partner violence, no matter who is perpetrating on who is everyones problem.
About time.
Smells like incels in here.
There should definitely be more resources and awareness for male victims of domestic violence.
And to all the people saying ‘where are the women?’, remember that there are a lot fewer women on reddit than men.
