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.

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.

I disagree. Abuse against women is taken far more seriously than abuse against men. Did you know that once a man tried to set up the only shelter to held male domestic abuse victims in Canada and it was shutdown because Feminists in the area pushed the idea that women were always the victims and men were incapable of facing abuse. Then, that man (Earl Silverman) killed himself.

@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.
