A post is made about men being victims of domestic abuse. Pab Sungenis Nov 2013 #74

I had a HOFer make a joke to me about me getting abused by my mom. EOTE Nov 2013 #135

Dude, That's totally not what I meant ismnotwasm Nov 2013 #138

Yeah, that's TOTALLY not what you meant. EOTE Nov 2013 #139

I don't think you're stupid, but I'm starting to thing you are younger than your chronological age ismnotwasm Nov 2013 #142

You have a knack of following up indefensible shit with more of the same. EOTE Nov 2013 #145

You Don't appear to be interested in what anyone says BainsBane Nov 2013 #157

Yeah, it's me who isn't interested in anyone says. EOTE Nov 2013 #163

I was there to cause dissension and pain says the one making child abuse jokes. EOTE Nov 2013 #140

You do remind me of my brother ismnotwasm Nov 2013 #141

Do you throw child abuse insults at him as well? EOTE Nov 2013 #143

Look if I'm really hurting you I'll just stop ismnotwasm Nov 2013 #146

Yeah, who could have guessed I'd be offended by a child abuse joke? EOTE Nov 2013 #148

Silly me for thinking that words mean things. EOTE Nov 2013 #161

ok, but come on, in the vast majority it is the men doing the beating quinnox Nov 2013 #3

Doesn't make it any better to shame the victim, no matter what the gender. moriah Nov 2013 #5

whatever, we both know the main problem is men beating up their spouses/girlfriends quinnox Nov 2013 #8

And the majority of sexual abuse victims willing to come forward are women, too. moriah Nov 2013 #9

The problem is any partner beating up their partner. Regardless of sex. tammywammy Nov 2013 #13

right, anyway, I maintain it is a red herring to bring this up quinnox Nov 2013 #15

Again, I do hope you don't see expanding acceptance for male survivors of sexual abuse... moriah Nov 2013 #18

wow, so you are a woman and you are saying you think quinnox Nov 2013 #20

More likely, yes. And yes, I'm a woman who has been sexually and mentally abused. moriah Nov 2013 #23

You consider it a distraction; I consider your comment OFFENSIVE. IdaBriggs Nov 2013 #117

Wow. Thanks for that info BainsBane Nov 2013 #159

Not so much actually mythology Nov 2013 #105

Who is ignoring these men? Sheldon Cooper Nov 2013 #4

So, two people. Got it. Sheldon Cooper Nov 2013 #14

The CDC figures above--are you disputing them? nt msanthrope Nov 2013 #50

More than 40% of domestic violence victims are male, report reveals ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #16

That was a study done by an MRA group kcr Nov 2013 #21

The data comes from the British Crime Survey. nt ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #33

It's a survey kcr Nov 2013 #39

What is the value to you in delegitimising the survey? sibelian Nov 2013 #119

I could ask you the same question kcr Nov 2013 #121

"I could ask you the same question" sibelian Nov 2013 #122

I didn't answer it because it's a useless question kcr Nov 2013 #123

That's clearly not the case. You choose to believe that the survey is false. sibelian Nov 2013 #130

The way people who believe in evolution just choose to believe it kcr Nov 2013 #131

To make it clear kcr Nov 2013 #133

Here are some real stats... quinnox Nov 2013 #22

If the rights of 15% of the population are to be ignored.... moriah Nov 2013 #26

The point is, who is saying they should be ignored? kcr Nov 2013 #28

I just think that it is not the most pressing issue quinnox Nov 2013 #31

Thanks for just dumping us guys in the garbage. Archae Nov 2013 #35

oh, give me a break quinnox Nov 2013 #36

I agree completely. kcr Nov 2013 #67
