@shaasavera

But do you think that is because of women or other guys who mock them? Matlab sayings like “don’t throw like a girl” or “don’t sit at home and wear bangles” are said by men to other men. They see them as less “macho” if they complain about a female abusing them.
The men’s groups who mention this should also work on removing this stigma from the eyes of other men w
ho will put down guys who complain..saying “kya tum apna ghar nahi control kar sakte. Kaise mard ho.”
All abuse is equally wrong and i don’t think many if any females will make light of abuse of males. At the same time abuse of females is higher. You just need to google the rapes/gang rapes which come up on Indian and Pakistani news site regularly. Or even among Indians/Pakistanis abroad. Ab trend ban gaya to hang the rape victim after the incident. It happened in India and now incident in Pakistan also. looking at all this can’t say it’s the same. Even in West there are many battered women who don’t complain either and get stuck in the cycle of abuse.

Women are abused more in India and Pakistan, for sure. This thread is about the West though. As Theorist mentioned, it depends on location and I think male abuse is quite prevalent here. I don’t know the intention of the OP, but I’m not suggesting it’s the fault of women, I’m saying it’s a cultural problem, part of which is caused by other men. Men who abuse men, or men who mock male abuse victims.

You’re right in that all abuse is wrong, which is why it’s sad that certain posters go right to making light of male abuse. I’ll try a knock knock joke in the next female rape thread, and see how well that goes. Apparently being a "defender of male abuse’ is an insult.

“Certain” posters simply have the position we are comparing apples to oranges. There have been “certain” threads where this was discussed very thoroughly. One about university speech shouted down by ladies which affected a poor male student badly and scarred him. Another about ridiculous stats that were put in perspective by said “such” posters. As for intention of OP, neither can I read OP mind. But it was tad over the top.

One para in this links states (and I paraphrase from 2 days ago read)

Women engage in controlling behavior - which can lead to violence from both sides. Clever way of assigning blame for violence from men to women’s controlling behavior.

Deja vu all over again.

You don’t even have to go that far. Just say that women should not neglect their responsibilites. And sit back and relax

Reinforcements have arrived. You cannot stop them. You can only hope to contain them.

Well, no *** sherlock. Something needs to be done about this whole double standard crap

Women are more likely to be verbally and physically aggressive towards their partners than men suggests a new study presented as part of a symposium on intimate partner violence (IPV).The symposium ‘Developments in Intimate Partner Violence Research and Practice’ is presented today, Wednesday 25 June, at the British Psychological Society’s Division of Forensic Psychology annual conference in Glasgow.
Dr Elizabeth Bates from the University of Cumbria and colleagues from the University of Central Lancashire gave a total of 1104 students (706 women and 398 men) questionnaires about their physical aggression and controlling behaviour, to partners and to same-sex others (including friends).
Analysis showed that women were more likely to be physically aggressive to their partners than men and that men were more likely to be physically aggressive to their same-sex others.
Furthermore, women engaged in significantly higher levels of controlling behaviour than men, which significantly predicted physical aggression in both sexes.
Dr Elizabeth Bates explained: "This was an interesting finding. Previous studies have sought to explain male violence towards women as rising from patriarchal values, which motivate men to seek to control women’s behaviour, using violence if necessary.
“This study found that women demonstrated a desire to control their partners and were more likely to use physical aggression than men. This suggests that IPV may not be motivated by patriarchal values and needs to be studied within the context of other forms of aggression, which has potential implications for interventions.”
