Whether it be physical abuse or emotional abuse... women who do it are rarely considered sick bastards. Usually the man is blamed for allowing her to do it.
But when the man is abusing the woman (physically or emotionally) he is a horrible, sick, monster.
Woman = Right
Man = Wrong

It's under that banner of self-protection; a very usual double standard.

As someone who has been emotionally abused by a woman and has called her sick often and with an excellent vocabulary, I think you're exaggerating. There is a problem believing that women can abuse their family but it's not because people think they're justified. The most common thing I hear is the BS that emotional abuse isn't abuse, point blank. That has nothing to do with the gender of the abuser. I've never had anyone try to justify what I went through upon finding out it was a woman who did it, ever. If they thought it was sick before, they continue to think it's sick. When it's mothers who do it to their children, I actually think they are considered more harshly then men who do the same abuse to their children.

Agree all the line with Tera. The fact that actually male abusers pops out more than females is only a number question. A sicko is a sicko, no matter his/her sex or race or any other contingent question. A particular upbringing may contribute, but the fact are still there.

As somebody who has been emotionally abused by potential of a woman and has mentioned as her ill regularly and with an astounding vocabulary, i think of you're exaggerating. there's a situation believing that ladies people can abuse their kin although that isn't any longer because of the fact people think of they're justified. the main elementary element I pay attention is the BS that emotional abuse isn't abuse, factor clean. That has no longer something to do with the gender of the abuser. i haven't had all people attempt to justify what I went with the aid of upon finding out it exchange right into a woman who did it, ever. in the event that they theory it exchange into ill until now, they proceed to think of that is ill. whilst that is mothers who do it to their little ones, i myself think of they're considered greater harshly then adult men who do the comparable abuse to their little ones.

Hello,
Times are a changing!
Not long ago "they" said that serial killers were not women, now they are changing there tune and the notes to there tune.
At one time "they" said that women were not child molesters, again the tune is changing.
I grew up with this guy, we were very close. He was closer then my own brother at that time.
Anyhoo he married this women, nice enough. Of course since he got married I backed off hanging out so much with him, being a women and all.
He would call me at all times of the day and night to either come get him, or he was beat up and needed help. I was shocked at first. This guy was not a girly guy at all!! Rode bulls in the rodeo and was a hard worker etc.
His wife would beat the tar out of him! He did not believe in hitting women. So he would take it. He would let her drive, she would kick him out of the truck out of town, or even in town. He was afraid of having his guns around. he destroyed his stuff and mean to his critters.
So there are women out there who are horrible, sick, monsters.
As women we demanded equal right, as it should be. However with these rights comes responsibility. Women have to be responsible even when the monster comes out.
Times are a changing and if the man has bruising, hurt the cops will take the women to jail.

The word "monster" is usually reserved for the sickest of the sick...and yes, some women have, at times, "earned" that title. Ever seen the movie entitled "Monster"? It's about the true story of Aileen Wuernos, a woman who was put to death for killing several men. She was a prostitute, who claimed to have been violently and viciously raped, and this event, according to her, was what started her on a killing spree of male "clients." She claimed to have been abused during childhood, and she left home as a child and lived on the streets. Though she tried to gain public sympathy for her crimes, it became clear that she had no remorse for her actions, thus the title of the film: "Monster." (Pretty good movie- if you haven't seen it, you should.) I also watched a documentary about her, which included several real (live) interviews with her. She was most certainly mentally ill. However, it is most likely her mental illness was psychopathy, and she clearly had no remorse for her actions. Listening to her talk on camera, she gave the distinct impression of being as crazy as Charles Manson. Despite her obvious mental illness, her traumatic childhood and teen years, her experiences as a prostitute, and the violent rape she endured, none of these things made the public (or the court system) sympathize with her. In other words, though these events may well have contributed to her committing the crimes, these things did not save her from from having to pay the consequences. Not all women are viewed as "right" and men "wrong." I've read over fifty books on serial killers, some of which were about women. And every single one of them, male or female, had elements of abuse or mental illness in their history. And none were viewed with sympathy when it came to the sentencing for their crimes.

I most certainly would call them sickos and monsters. People tend to think that just because women are seen as maternal, that they are incapable of doing harm. I think that is a load of BS. There are plenty of women out there that do harm and have no remorse for it.

In my opinion regardless of the gender. Wrong is wrong and there is never a excuse to abusing another human being. God bless****

it is seen as weak and inferior for men to be seen as the victims of abuse. since our model male stereotype is to be dominant and strong. and those who seem weak are shunned by other male counterparts
