Is domestic violence accepted if commited by a woman ?

Question

Since Hillary is running for president, Id say yes.

Answer 1

Statistically, Yes.
Here is an educational study, by the Family Research laboratory, University of New Hampshire that is not biased. Feminists like to use biased statistics, like the Dept of Justice(arrest statistics) and hospital statistics, and don't take into consideration that men don't get arrested as much and don't go to the hospital as much. But the Feminists statistics provided by the Justice Department do prove that although men are hit more, women are arrested far less.

Notice page 8: titled Ratio of male to female assaults, explains Table
Page 23:Actual Table

"Over all the countries, female assaulting males overall 31.6%, and men assaulting women at 24.4%. Severe assaults: women assaulting men at 10.6%, and men assaulting women at 7.6%."

Unfortunately, the sexist shelters are for Women only, and actually turn away men who are in need.

Of course, this is not to take away from the abuse that women receive. No one should be abused!! And it also states that the "injury rate for female victims of PV is much higher than the rate for male victims. For this reason and because of the lesser financial resources of women, there is a much greater need for resource services for women than for men." So I'm not suggesting doing away with help for battered women or even leasening it, but simply stating inequalities(men being turned away).
Again, no one should be abused.

Answer 2

Totally. If I hit my husband hard, people would think he said something mean and he deserved it. If he hit me hard, people would think he was abusive.

But there IS a difference. I'm not defending domestic violence, I'm talking about the occasional slap from a woman to a man when he cheats on her or something. It is acceptable (not good) for a woman to do such a thing because a woman is weaker. For a man to do it, is horrible because he is stronger and has an obligation to protect women and look out for them.

It makes a woman mean. It makes a man a coward and a wretch.

But domestic violence (I'm talking something other than a single slap or punch provoked by some horrible thing) should never be acceptable.

Answer 3

We need to stop domestic violence for BOTH genders. we need to look at both sides and try and help both the victim and the abuser. NO violence of any kind should NOT be accepted.

We need people to wake up and see that violence is a Human problem NOT a gender problem things will only get worse. No ONE should ever be abused for any reason NO ONE!! God Bless

Answer 4

If we look at our laws, it would appear that it certainly is. We have had the Violence Against Women Act passed into law three times now. Many organizations including Shattered Men tried hard to get this changed to the domestic violence or family violence act to protect all our people. Feminist organizations fought tooth and nail to keep it the violence against women act. Most do not realize that NOW gave a lot of input in writing this one sided law.

It offers a billion dollars a year for abused women but not one dime for abused men although unbiased research shows women are as violent if not more violent then men.

There is no evidence that shows the VAWA has protected anyone although there is some the shows it has made it more dangerous for women.

The American Psychiatric Association states Men Shouldn't Be Overlooked as Victims of Partner Violence. In the Psychiatry News August 3, 2007
Volume 42, Number 15, page 31

The APA states:

Furthermore, Whitaker discovered, of the 24 percent of relationships that had been violent, half had been reciprocal and half had not. Although more men than women (53 percent versus 49 percent) had experienced nonreciprocal violent relationships, more women than men (52 percent versus 47 percent) had taken part in ones involving reciprocal violence.

Regarding perpetration of violence, more women than men (25 percent versus 11 percent) were responsible. In fact, 71 percent of the instigators in nonreciprocal partner violence were women. This finding surprised Whitaker and his colleagues, they admitted in their study report.

As for physical injury due to intimate partner violence, it was more likely to occur when the violence was reciprocal than nonreciprocal. And while injury was more likely when violence was perpetrated by men, in relationships with reciprocal violence it was the men who were injured more often (25 percent of the time) than were women (20 percent of the time). "This is important as violence perpetrated by women is often seen as not serious," Whitaker and his group stressed.

Many state attorney generals have actually stated that they would not prosecute a women for domestic abuse. Part of the reasoning for this is that VAWA does not allow it. It encourages an arrest anytime police are called but often they will arrest the man even if he is the only victim.

There are many resources from unbiased sources...sources that do not get paid for what they find. If we use only the biased sources, it would be like asking Ronald McDonald what the best hamburger is.

There are some resources you can check:

RADAR Special Reports

Effects of VAWA

Threat to Families

VAWA Discriminates Against Male Victims

Abuse of Domestic Restraining Orders

Justice Denied: Arrest Policies for DV

Bias in the Judiciary

A Culture of False Allegations

Has VAWA Delivered on its Promises to Women?

To conclude, Unless we look at BOTH sides, the problem will not be resolved, it will only get worse

We need to give people "permission" to seek help before someone is harmed. As it is, there are many women who know they are violent but they will not seek help because they believe the lie that 95% of all victims of abuse are women and they think they are a freak. If they knew the truth, more would seek help before it is too late.

Answer 5

I'm lost. Does Hillary have a history of domestic abuse, because I've never heard anything about that.

Answer 6

I think there is a double standard. If a man has a thought to consider hitting a woman he gets put in jail. But I think women abuse their spouses a lot more than statistics indicate but in most cases it is just kinda over looked because she is harmless. And not many men want to admit that their wife beats them that would be a major blow to the ego.

Answer 7

If domestic violence is committed by a woman, all she need do is call the police and have him arrested!

Answer 8

Cassius you rule.... I love the questions. I am sure women will start beating men soon. That will show how mean and cruel they have become.... like animals.... LOL

Answer 9

no

but realistically I can understand when one partner gets mad and loses their temper in a very heated argument. if it were to happen between friends and not lovers we'd all be pretty understanding (not accepting of the behavior though). its the same for couples

Answer 10

It is neither accepted nor acceptable. When men report, women will go to jail.
