Please women,what are your opinions?

Question

What do you think about domestic abuse done by women on men? What can be done to them? (I know there are some women who do such)
What about for men? What should be done?

Baba Yaga, I don't really know why you gave me statistics.
No more statistics and comparisons of the nature of the abuse caused by both genders please.

Answer 1

Like others have said, I don't think there are enough assistance for male survivors of domestic violence; and I think part of the reason why is because men are less likely to report incidents of domestic violence.

There's this message put out in society that says what makes a real guy and one of the things that's very often said is that real men don't cry or show their vulnerability or "wekaness" in anyway. So what we have now is the knowledge of men being survivors of domestic violence but very few statistics to back that up.

I think part of what's gonna help solve the problem is to start teaching guys at a very young age that no one, regardless of sex deserves to be abused; and that if they as guys get hurt by a girl, they should tell somebody. It's not okay that someone is hurting them; girl or not, and that telling someone that they're being abused doesn't make them any less of a guy.

Answer 2

Domestic abuse is wrong no matter who is the giver or the receiver, the individual who subjects such abuse on another whether it be man/woman or woman/man, the punishment should be the same in either case for such a crime.

Answer 3

things should be no different, men should not have to put up with it as women should not have to put up with it, clearly it is wrong either way you look at it, men should have options as women do, the world just seems to think that it is only women who are abused by there partners no one really give it much thought that it could happen the other way around, as society sees it men are supposed to be a more masculine dominant figure, not being bashed by there wives, i think that there should be the same sort of help out there so abused partners regardless if they are male or female

Answer 4

I think you should do what it has to be done on any abusive relationship, leave the abuser. My uncle was married with a women who used to abusive him. On the beginning no one believed on him but after while he started to show up with bruises done by her nails and things she used to throw on him. The problem with my uncle, is that he has epilepsy and he has to takes a medication, plus he has heart problems too. His health requires a careful care. Because he suffer from this health problems, and she knew he wasn't a strong men, she started to abused him every time she wanted something. My family and relatives have done everything. Some even offered to help him to get the divorce and his health's treatments, but he always go back to her....

Answer 5

Well, it's illegal so the women should be arrested and the men should be given counseling. Unfortuantely, people don't take domestic abuse by women to men as seriously as they should. I know there are women who do it because I did to my boyfriend in high school. If he pissed me off I'd smack his face. He was about 50lbs heavier and a whole foot taller and never hit me back. Finally, he said quit it or I leave. So I quit.

Answer 6

Its the sign of a bad relationship if there is an existing one. The man should leave or escape. I once lived with this lady who said to me once before I was gonna move out that she was willing to take off her prescription glasses and run as fast as she could into her own wooden wall of her own house so she could then call the cops on me and falsely accuse me over her self inflicted damages. Luckily she didn't decide to do that. I am uncertain on a solution for these problems many of us men and women have.

Answer 7

I agree that "battered-wife syndrome" is a stereotype that makes women seem weak. Abuse in all its forms is unacceptable. Depending on the severity of the abuse, men and women should be equally punished.

Answer 8

Domestic abuse is inexcusable on any level. Every time an assault happens, photograph the aftermath and report her to the authorities. In this case, it is wise to build a case on her, because this issue is not as widespread as the opposite. (male on female violence.) Many men are reluctant or afraid to acknowledge that a woman terrorizes them, but it is important to report her if the behavior is to be punished.

Answer 9

Abuse of any form is wrong. Women should be punished just like men are. They ( women) should be made to take counseling, just like men are. Men can have counseling just like women can. The only thing lacking is a men's shelter; but men are the ones who are more likely to be employed

Answer 10

Men and women who commit the same crime should receive the same punishment. Because men are perceived to be tougher people don't believe it happens, and also men don't want to admit it. but when there's proof and the man is brave enough to admit it then the woman should get the same punishment as the man in court charged with beating up his girlfriend/wife.
