Men Against Rape

"About 37 percent of all domestic abuse victims are men, according to Denver clinical psychologist Jeanne King, who is author of "Abused Men." She co-founded the education advocacy group, Partners in Prevention".

Woman pushes man out of the window – what has strength got to do with it?
Every public announcement I’ve seen potrays men as abuser, women as victims. I would suggest the majority of men stay silent on the abuse from their wife.
If a woman has a knife or attacks by surprise while he’s asleep, strength is irrelevant.

It’s to do with stereotypes/prejudices.

Lets get the first part straight, the ""men are stonger" argument is nonsense because men cannot hit back anyway or we get arrested.

If you say women are violent it goes against the social acceptance and challenges notions of femininity (women are caring) but if women say men are violent it is moving with the flow of societies acceptance of masculinity (men are aggressive beasts).

Also men are not raising awareness of women being abusive so feminists are only too happy to institutionalize prejudiced view of domestic abuse being only ever male on female.

Also men do not come forweard because unlike women we have a dilemma, a) hit the woman back in self defence and get arrested as a perpetrator of domestic abuse or b) don’t hit back and call for help to be told on the phone that you are weak and pathetic and "grow a pair".

Also feminists always omit the fact that when men call for help most of the phone numbers men ring are women’s shelters and most of them just don’t accept men into them (discrimination) so men simply do not have as many services and phone number to call as women so of course it’s going to look like men are not experiencing abuse if we don’t know who to call.

Often in the realm of domestic violence to this point, men have had to fend for themselves, and even some women who are sympathetic to the needs of male victims of domestic violence tend to favor the current approach of treating the female victims of domestic violence first and foremost.

Indeed, I’ve yet to hear about domestic violence shelters which, even when empty, welcome the men who have been abused: it is still standard practice to subsidize their stay at a local motel, and give them a number to call for help.

And then I read something like the account of a domestic assault by Amanda Craig in the UK, and I wonder why society isn’t doing more to be there for male victims of violence. To summarize what she endured: she heard the sound of a girl beating a boy…and even acknowledged that had it been the other way around, she would’ve called the police. She went out to interject in the altercation, and was physically assaulted by the girl, who unapologetically acknowledged that she feels she can beat on her boyfriend whenever she wants to.

The point is that, whether feminists or others believe or not, men are increasingly victims of domestic assault, and increasingly it is women who are the perpetrators of that assault. Between 8% and 23% (depending upon the locale) of domestic violence is perpetrated against men, but an Oregon based domestic violence group suggests that the extent of domestic violence against men is more like 40%: the stigma associated with reporting that you were beaten up by a woman silence male victims of domestic violence.

So my question is, do you think the time has come for a proper allocation of resources, so that male victims of domestic violence can receive the same level of support as female victims? Should men be turned away from domestic violence shelters when there is available space, simply because there is a priority given to treating the female victims of domestic violence? And what will it take before victims rights advocates admit to themselves as everyone else just how significant a problem this is becoming?
It fascinates me that male feminists cannot answer simple questions…so I’ll pose it again: do you think the time has come for a proper allocation of resources, so that male victims of domestic violence can receive the same level of support as female victims? Should men be turned away from domestic violence shelters when there is available space, simply because there is a priority given to treating the female victims of domestic violence? I’ll leave the last question, since I don’t expect an answer from most of you.

But I do want to thank the male feminists for proving a point of mine: feminists aren’t interested in equality. When faced with questions about domestic violence against men, they skirt the issue and attack the numbers, rather than actually answering the questions.
@ J.R. – Ah, you’re referring to Crystal Mangum…did you know that since that case, she has been in constant trouble with the law, had a series of charges against her, served less than three months in prison…and is now awaiting trial for killing her boyfriend? Ah, but y’know…women NEVER hurt men!
@ Aisha: So the man who is being abused by his wife deserves to have no options for safety or shelter from her because women were mistreated in the past? Is that really your answer?

Most men can beat up a woman, men generally are much more stronger and have higher levels of testosterone. I think that part of the reason why men in abuse relationships don’t defend themselves is because they are afraid that if they hit the woman then she will press charges against him and he will land in prison for domestic abuse. Let’s face it, if a woman and a man came to a hospital and the man said that he hit her in self defense it wouldn’t go through so well because am sure she will be battered and claim he came at her first and for some reason the laws favor women in that case.
However no man should be passed up in favor of a woman in the same situation as him that’s just sexist.

feminists claim to support gender equality, and enforce laws to prevent domestic violence.
what about the california law barring all men from shelters when they were abused? like the story of the man who was scratched by glass shards by his girlfriend, was turned down t the shelter for being a man, went home, and was stabbed to death? (she got 6 months in jail and a years probation.)
or men who are attacked with weapons, call the police, and the police show up…and arrest the MAN WHO CALLED?
the domestic abuse laws and violence against women act ignored the thousands of men who are victims of violence assault every year. women know they can abuse their boyfriends.husbands without any consequences, because the feminist lobby blocked the laws from being gender neutral.

so there shouldnt be any protection for men?

feminist believe a wife should be able to assault her boyfriend , and the man shouldnt be allowed i na shelter

France passed a new law making verbal domestic abuse illegal.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122362876

“But shelter director Viviane Monnier says that she fears the new law,
because it also applies to men, will end up being used in a perverse
manner.”
So it’s perverse to give men the same protection? how is that equality?

So men shouldn’t have any protection? It’s amazing..the ENTIRE ARTICLE
focused on abused women, but her concern is that because men will
finally get equality, women will be abused more?
So she believes men don’t deserve protection?

ive read countless stories of ive read of men who were stabbed, called the police, and they were arrested.

nationally, women get half the jail sentence for killing their husbands, and when a mens group tried having it equalized, feminist groups protest that equal sentences were equal….right…

Yes they do.

Feminists find violence against men empowering and even promoted it.

I’ve seen the domestic shelters that offer shelter to male survivors, straight or gay, in California, so where’s proof of laws against men being allowed to get help from *any* shelter? Feminists aren’t usually law enforcement, so if the police are not enforcing the law, do something about it, that’s what feminists did for decades when police and the courts said it was a "family" problem when women were being beaten. Welcome to the club!

Stop whinning and start a man’s shelter if you want to.
The cards are stacked against the women 99% of the time.

IGOR BOOK OF FAQ FOR GS – SECTION 1 – OPERATIONS OF FEMINISM

Why do feminists only pursue feminism?

Because feminists are a self-interested special interest group who have no interest in anyone else, and who have zero remorse or consideration for any harm caused to others in their pursuit of their own limited anti-social aims.

ADDS:- They have made DV and organised official violence against men much worse, by degrees of magnitude, through their advocacy of the stupid UN idea that, in speaking out about the situation for women in war-torn countries in Africa, all women worldwide were somehow being oppressed and treated violently. Feminists have made this worse yet again with their ludicrous and unsupported Womens Studies concepts that we somehow live in a ’society of rape culture’, and a ;society of violence against women’.

Violence begets violence – continuation of direct and unwarranted violence against men will have consequences, for both feminists and government – and for some unfortunate ‘collateral damage’ women as well.

Beware what you sow – and look over your shoulder for what you reap!

a person here just claimed that men, as a whole are responsible for "raising awarness of rape", even if they have never done anything wrong in their life.

So if it is men’s job to stop raise awareness about rape, is it women’s job to raise awareness about paternity fraud, child abuse, child murder, domestic violence against men, false rape accusation etc?

so then should it be all should be women’s "job" to stop false rape accusation, paternity fraud, child abuse, child killing etc..?

Men already do have the job of stopping rape: they are called the police.

First off 98% of men will live their entire lives without being convicted of a single crime. And of those ‘2 percenters’ only a small fraction of them will commit crime of a sexual nature. So really we are talking about a VERY SMALL number of the male population. Feminists are shaming and holding 99.4% of men "responsible" for stopping a crime they aren’t even committing. This small group of individuals are demented and NO am mount of "shaming" or "telling them it’s wrong" is going to change their behavior. Lol, I guess if someone only told Ted Bundy that rape is "wrong" he wouldn’t have done it.. Guess someone else should go tell the meth addict down the street that "it’s not cool to rape!" Yea that’ll surely do it! *roll eyes* It is a LAW ENFORCEMENT problem and it should be handled and such

How about we hold women accountable for issues such as child and animal abuse (two problems where women are overwhelmingly the perpetrators).. If it’s up to us to stop rape, then it’s up to you to stop the world’s child & animal abuse. Sound fair?

Whether it be a little boy that’s a victim of child molestation from a woman, or a man that is punched, attacked, or verbally abused by his girlfriend or wife…

Do you agree with feminists that males being abused should be overlooked & ignored, because men’s issues aren’t as important as women’s?

Feminists spread a lot of hate against men, i could imagine them saying violence against men isn’t violence. some of them even think that women shouldn’t be sent to prison. That’s what they call equality. my granda suffered a lot of violence and cruelty and he said some of it was so bad he wouldn’t tell anyone but in those days there was no one to help him. feminists who are violent should be punished.

domestic violence against men? what would you do in these situations?
Domestic violence against men is contantly ignored.
Men, what would you have done in this situation?

"His then fiancee, Michelle Williamson, punched him in the face several times, stubbed out cigarettes on his body, lashed him with a vacuum cleaner tube, hit him with a metal bar and a hammer and even poured boiling water on to his lap. That at 6ft he was almost a foot taller than her made no difference. He still has burn marks on his left shoulder from when she used steam from an iron on him. Williamson, 35, is now serving a seven-year jail sentence for causing both actual and grievous bodily harm."

"My wife punched me in front of the kids when i was driving, she said said she would cut off my fingers at night, so i went to the police. The police officer at the desk said that "Only men do the domestic violence here".

Eventually they interviewed us both, i was interviewed WITH her in the same room for 10 minutes. Then she was interviewed ALONE for 30 minutes and she told them that i has tried to strangle her. She came out with handfuls of anti – violence leaflets, they gave me NOTHING. I was lucky , they didnt arrest me !

I hasten to add, i NEVER EVER touched her(i nearly lost an eye once), and i left her several times, but there was nowhere for me to go. "

Have some all male shelters they can go to.
