I wish...

Domestic violence against men (perpetrated by women) was taken more seriously. It breaks my heart to see stories of men trying to get justice after being abused by their significant other and being ignored or blamed.

It's awful. :/ Ridicule is never something you should have to face when you go to someone for help when you're in an abusive relationship.

Interesting.

Thought the opposite is far more the case.

I wish many women stop abusing the police and legal systems in falsely accusing men of abusing them, so they themselves may prevail in the legal custody battles and divorce courts with their husbands. It is rampant, and sheds doubt on the many, many women who are legitimate victims.

Your post is prescient though, and deserves respect.

@Killers: wow. That's crazy. I'm really sorry to read of it.

@Killers: There was also a case where a man was locked up for some years after getting convicted of domestic abuse. However, the whole story was not told. Yes, he did hit his wife hard enough to knock her out. However, leading up to that she had knocked him out on three occasions.

@MarsSword: Yeah, it bothers me when domestic abuse cases don't take into account any physical violence the wife may have committed before the husband snapped. They should both be held accountable, and in some cases the husband hitting back should be classified as self-defense.

Too many people are too stupid to realize it happens, and too many men are too ashamed to report it when it does. It's a terrible cycle and it does need to stop, and people do need to take it more seriously than they do.

I have entire rants about this....Just because everyone is so fucking ignorant about how things really are and they call the abused men pussies and shit.

It's pretty disgusting. But hey, toxic masculinity demands men be tough all the time so they often times won't even report it.

@Killers: Toxic masculinity is perpetuated by both men and women. Just because it has the word "masculinity" in it doesn't mean it's the sole responsibility of men.

@AmbivalentFriability: Although this is probably not what you're expressing, I feel like people perpetuate the idea that simply masculinity itself is toxic. Masculinity itself isn't a bad thing, it's the association of masculinity with being able to withstand abuse and violence in general that's the problem. Laws have, for a long time, favored women in cases of rape, domestic violence, etc. because of this unfair association.
