Domestic Violence–The Dirty Secret
Chris Brown is a jerk if he did what is alleged to Rihanna. And she is a fool for going back to him.
So while Oprah and company are wailing about domestic violence, why are they being so sexist?
When men hit women everyone is outraged. When women hit men it is considered a joke. Men are being hit, beaten and attacked by women, and no one wants to talk about it.
As many as 40 out of 100 domestic violence cases are women hurting men (source: http://www.oregoncounseling.org/Handouts/DomesticViolenceMen.htm) and yet people laugh. “Men are big. If a man lets a woman hit him, he is a wimp.” Etc.
Here is the truth: if a man defends himself against a female attacker, the police may arrest HIM.
The absolute bigotry of favoring female abusers is outrageous.
Chris Brown was wrong if he did what is alleged. If a woman does the same thing, she is wrong. (There is no evidence Rihanna was abusive.)
Time to man up and speak out: women who are violent against men should be arrested and charged, not made into jokes.

Did you catch the story of the Chicagoland GOP party official, Palatine Township Republican Committeeman Gary Skoien, whose soon-to-be-ex was beating him with “a toy electric guitar”? The story relates that said man at the police station “nodded in agreement” with his S-t-b-ex’s charges that he was with prostitutes in their abode. At least she was charged with a crime!

bin There,
I hope some day female abuse of men will be treated routinely as a crime. So many men seem to think they deserve female wrath.

“So many men seem to think they deserve female wrath.”
It isn’t just being on the receiving end of female wrath. It’s the abuse of the male image that we men don’t protest. Advertising and sitcoms make men the laughingstock, the butt of the joke, more often than not. Yet who can laugh harder at ridiculing a man than another man?
Can you see John Wayne or ex-Marine combat veteran Lee Marvin tolerating being made a fool for the profit of others? I don’t think so!
As long as we men don’t protest when men are abused in this manner, everyone will think it OK to do so – and more men will suffer abuse that they cannot counterattack.
