I Hate Women Who Hit Men And Always Get Away With It

I attended a "domestic" last night. The victim required transport to hospital but his injuries weren't life threatening - lacerations and a suspected fracture. His wife even tried to attack us but the police held her off.

I hope she's charged but, judging from the attitude of the police there, I doubt she wiil be.
That's not right. At least I think around here they'll take the woman in. My brother, a retired police officer once told me he'd brought women in for domestic abuse. He and his fellow officers always especially hated domestic calls.
I know and I already responded. @Sharon
@Spoiledbrat i was oncs with female who had very little control over her emotions/anger and will lose it before you know it and then hell will break lose. Initially it was not that apparent but later on did.

@aaaabbbb Were you injured by her? What's the general attitude of the police to male victims of female violence where you are?
Why doesn't he leave her? Is he scared of her?

@Spoiledbrat Believe what you like, the fact remains he is innocent.
You don't know that. @Sharon

@Spoiledbrat A jury found him not guilty after hearing all the evidence. Even under US law that's means he's innocent. That's good enough for me.

Would you, personally, prefer to be considered guilty even after being acquitted? That's what you're advocating.

Most of the domestic violence that happens in my neighbourhood is caused by men, but there are instances of women doing it and those never seem to be taken seriously. Everyone assumes the guy is stronger which isn't always the case.

@SW-User No, all the studies have found it's about 50:50.

I would add that a lot of violence caused by women goes unnoticed. Who would take much notice if a well dressed woman slapped a man's face? What about when he slapped her back?

@Sharon My cousin is a Paremedic in town. She attends domestic violence indidence almost every night. She says that in nearly every incident it's the woman that requires medical attention not the guy. Why would this be if it was 50/50? I'm the first one to agree that there is a lot of assaults that go unreported by guys, but seriously, the incidence of male violence against female violence is well documented. Just look at the murder statistics. How many women stalk and kill their male partners vs males who stalk and kill their female partners? The overwhelming majority of domestic violence assaults are commented in my town by drug or alcohol fueled males and I suspect the stats are similar elsewhere.

@SW-User I'm a paramedic in the UK. I get called to about twice as many domestic incidents involving a male victim as I do to those involving a female victim. Part of the reason for that is that we only get called to a male victim if he's seriously injured. In the majority of incidents I've attended involving female victims, her injuries are superficial.

Another factor is that the police will step in to protect a woman before she's injured. It's said, with some justification, that she only has to claim her male partner looked at her in a funny way to get him arrested. Male victims, on the other hand, are left to fend for themselves and the police only step in after she's nearly (or sometime actually) killed him.

The incidence of female violence against male partners goes undocumented because the police routinely refuse to accept reports from male victims. My own husband was a victim of his former wife. He often suffered serious injuries but the police point blank refused to assist, even when there were independent witnesses. None of the incidents are recorded as crimes but that doesn't mean they didn't occur.

I was engaged 10 years ago and I used to cop beltings off her left right and centre, and I was pinned down and strangled while I was packing up to leave her.

@SW-User Did you go to the police? If so, did they take action against her or did they just fob you off?

@Sharon it was the humiliating part walking into the cop shop but luckily I had a female officer work on my case, I filed a restraining order on her but that's expired now, as far as she knows I've moved interstate and out of her reach, i found out she went to prison for smashing a bottle over another girls head in a pub.

@SW-User I'm pleased it worked out OK for you in the end. You were lucky to havea female officer working on your case. In the UK, a male officer would have been just as likely to arrest you. :(
