Rape

there seems to be a prevailing belief in our culture that violence against woman (especially when portrayed in film) is morally worse than violence against men, but if we are to believe the feminist view then there should be no distinction, since men and woman are exactly morally and intellectual equivalent, and therefore our moral disapproval should be equal in both cases. are feminists still wanting perpetuate the patriarchal belief that woman deserve more protection than men?

Violence should not be tolerated at any level or against any sex.

However having said that it does appear to be worse when it is used by a man against a women.

The trouble is women say they are equal to men, and really they are ( I think women are equal personally) but only when they feel like it.

But violence is not acceptable at all against anyone or anything

The CDC and the FBI say that when it comes to the abuse (sexual abuse included), injury, and even murder of a child under the age of twelve it is the child’s biological mother who is most likely the perpetrator. Those two agencies also report that men are the overwhelming victims of violent crime up to and including murder.

I’m sure some "feminist" will say "but it is violent men who commit most of those crimes against other men". Why then is all law enforcement, and society in generals’ focus on protecting women from violent men, why not a VAWA like act to protect men from violent men?

No, it is not. Not even close.

Violence against children, the sick, and the elderly are the worst types of violence. Violence against those who cannot defend themselves, the weak against the strong.

Anyone who claims that violence against women is the worst type of violence is implying (if not flat-out saying) that children, the sick, and the elderly can defend themselves better than women can.

It’s true that men are overwhelmingly the perpetrators of violence, but men are also overwhelmingly the victims of violence.

Laura, it’s actually NOT the father who is more likely to be a perpetrator of violence against children, but usually the mother’s boyfriend or a stepfather. In other words, a man in the house who is biologically unrelated to the child, rather than the child’s biological father. Mainstream crime statistics don’t tend to make a distinction between stepfather and biological father.

The UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women is a leading global source of support for on-the-ground action to end violence against women and girls. Since 1997, the UN Trust Fund has funded 304 initiatives in 121 countries, enabling grantees to provide women and girl survivors of violence with access to safety, health and legal services and to undertake community mobilization and behavioural change efforts focused in particular on young people, men and boys and traditional leaders as key agents of change in preventing violence against women and girls. This video takes us to Nepal, Cambodia and Nigeria to see how UN Trust Fund grantees bring about change in the lives of women and girls, men and boys and their communities.

Females are leaving the domestic role for information age skills and income. The nineteenth century belief Females should be protected has created much protection and support for Females from day one. Since Females are not required by society to be strong, it is considered proper to not only protect them but to also lavish much mental, emotional, social, academic, support, knowledge, and skills from day one. This creates lower average stress and lots of supported skills that enable girls to really do well in the information age. Girls are also given love, honor, respect, and support simply for being girls. This makes learning and development of skills and competing for jobs somewhat easier for they are given the essentials of self-worth simply for being girls. All of this makes girls "very well prepared" to compete in the information age. This support and protection continues even into adulthood. Today this allows not only much economic advantage but also maintains the same protected freedoms of expression to give verbal, silent abuse, and hollow kindness to Males when they have some advantage (look at how the media allows this).

Males who are generally anti-feminists and also Females (who tend to reflect for some reason their protected world upon Males) really do not understand how differential treatment from day one is providing Females with such an advantage that is creating the Growing international Male Crisis, but those Males though lacking understanding do feel the effects of that differential treatment.

Males are given love, honor, support, respect, care, etc. only on the condition of sufficient achievement, money, power, etc. This is what makes Males very competitive; they are competing for feelings of self-worth as reflected upon them by society if they have sufficiency of those things. When they are doing anything they are being weighed and given only the amount of love, honor, respect, and support commensurate with those achievements. Those Males who do not have sufficiency are not only given less of those good things, they are given more aggression by society. This creates a lot more pressure on Males to either succeed in academics, which is good; and if they cannot, then they will search out a more protected and supported area in which they will have some feeling of love, honor, and respect from their peer group.

Since our society is still following even in the information age, the belief Males should be strong, it still allows much aggression upon Males to make them tough. It also holds that Males should not be given mental/emotional/social/academic love, kindness, care and support for fear of coddling the Male from day one. This is so the Male can become a good little soldier to defend family and country. The problem with this is that it creates high average stress that impedes learning and creates along it more tension that leads more activity in Males and attention to mental/emotional development. This is why girls appear to mature faster, for Males are not given the same supports. This higher average stress and lack of support accumulate to create a large deficit in learning for Males.

Now in the information age, Males are now competing with Females who have been well supported from day one and Males are beginning fall behind big time, especially from women in their 20’s and early 30’s.

Men are not only losing jobs, they are losing out on feelings of self-worth or love, honor, and respect from society. It is plainly spelled out in the media that when Males appear weak, it is okay to give them more verbal aggression, more abuse, and more neglect. Since Men have brainwashed to believe they are better (perhaps deserving of more harsh treatment and neglect) they are now finding out that in real life such treatment is somehow helping women to succeed above them. Given the horrible myth of fixed intelligences taught in our society or simply working harder, many men are falsely believing they are less intelligent and/or not working hard enough. Given this false information, they truly feel threatened by those women who are succeeding and they are not. Society itself and its media is now working against the Male to place Male’s into perceived positions of being more suitable for menial labor and for Females to be placed into more white collar, management positions.

Yes, he was wrong. There will be men will do this. However, women have a much bigger problem today and that is the slow collective loss of the Male ability to support himself and his family. This can see to much lost feelings of self-worth and much more physical retaliation instead of understanding. Both sides today need to begin understanding how there is much differential treatment that is causing this problem of Males falling behind. By understanding how Fe
