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

@bijouxbroussard The UK police are institutionally sexist so it's very rare that a woman is charged with domestic abuse of a man. It's most likely to happen when female police officers are involved, male police officers tend to feel sorry of the "poor little woman" and look for reasons to excuse her violence.

I read a study some time ago about the increase in female crime rates. The conclusion was that it hadn't increased by any significant extent. It was simply that the increase in the number of women in senior positions in the police and judiciary meant that blind eyes were less likely to be turned to female perpetrated crime.

@Sharon That's a positive thing. Possibly it's because there are more women on the police force here more women offenders are going to jail for violence and child molestafion, too. That also used to be ignored when the accused was a woman.

@bijouxbroussard That's true. When anyone mentions child abuse, it's automatically presumed the abuser is male. It's at least as likely the abuser is female.

We still have a long way to go though. Even when women are charged and convicted, they still tend to get lighter (often non-custodial) sentences than men do for the same offence.

I never assume that. @Sharon

@Spoiledbrat You and I don't but a lot of people do. It's a problem when the police do.

@Sharon I hadn't thought about it properly before, but at the extreme end of the scale there are plenty of women - Myra Hindley, Rosemary West ... Hindley is a case in point, because she pretended it wasn't her fault and certain gullible males believed her.

As I said in the beginning. He should leave her. He can also press charges. @Sharon

@Spoiledbrat It's not as simple as that. For start, where would he go? There probably aren't any shelters for men. He might not have any family nearby nor anyone else he can go to. He might not have any money. It's possible there are children he needs to try to protect - if he leaves you can be sure he'd be forced to leave his children behind.

He can try to press charge but that relies on the police accepting his report. As I and others have said, the police routinely refuse to accept reports from male victims of female abusers.

He needs to keep pressing charges. I don't think he has to go back and didn't he have an idea as to her nature before he had kids with her? That is assuming that he even has kids. You don't seem to know his story. You just know what you saw and hope that she gets penalized? Idk Also I live in California and I have not had that same experience with police officers. @Sharon

@Spoiledbrat I don't know anything about the case Caroline259 attended, all I know is the general attitude of the police to male victims of domestic abuse. I've read numerous reports and studies and seen it in practice when I witnessed a woman attacking her husband.

He attempted to press charge but the police refused to accept his report. They said there were no witnesses depite several of us telling them what we saw. Then they said we were friends of his so we couldn't be witnesses. That's untrue but some of us had never seen him before anyway. They even threatened to arrest him although the couldn't say what for.

Maybe things are different where you are.

@MartinII Don't forget Tracie Andrews, who murdered her fiancé Lee Harvey in 1996. She almost got away with it because "everyone knows" women aren't violent. At first she managed to convince gullible police officers they were both victims of a road rage attack. That was shown to be a lie. She later claimed she stabbed Lee 37 times in self defence. Even after being convicted of cold blooded murder, she was let off with just 14 years behind bars.

She had attacked Lee and other boyfreinds before but it appears the police took no action against her.

There numberous cases of this kind of behavior by woman. I was referring to domestic abuse, however. Also I don't know anyone that thinks "woman aren't violent" but I am sure they have fooled others as have men. @Sharon

@Spoiledbrat Tracie Andrews murdered the man she was living with, that makes it domestic abuse according the the UK definition of the term. The "everyone knows" comment reflects the attitude of the police to male victims of female violence. Tracie Andrews was not initially suspected simply because she is a woman. If the roles had been reversed, Lee would have been a prime suspect from the beginning.

As I said, things might be different in your country.

I feel like you're getting off the topic. We can't go back and forth about which gender is more evil. It doesn't solve anything. I have already made my point. @Sharon

@Sharon We were talking about domestic violence. I wasn't talking about murder. My point is that men and women behave differently. @Sharon

@Spoiledbrat Murder is a violent crime in the UK so murdering a spouse or other intimate partner is classed as domestic violence. How is murder classified in your jurisdiction?

Your point appears to be that men commit the vast majority of domestic violence and are only rarely victims so there is no need for shelters for them. That's completely contrary to the findings of all the independent studies of domestic abuse. Women commit as much domestic abuse as men do and men are just as likely to be victims as women. It's also clear that the police are very selective when accepting reports and recording incidents.

Nobody here is saying that women are the more evil but you seem to be saying that men are. The rest of us are saying there is no significant difference between the sexes and all the evidence supports that view.

Domestic disputes. @Sharon

@Spoiledbrat What are you referring too? I've heard that life is cheap in the US but I thought murder might be classed as a little more serious than simple a "domestic dispute".

"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."@Sharon

@Spoiledbrat You've lost me. That's what Caroline259 wrote in her opening post. Why are you just repeating it?

Tracie Andrews' offence falls well within the definition of domestic violence so is relevant to this thread.

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?
