oldworldlobster:cishetwhiteoppressor:quirkydarling:cishetwhiteoppressor:Male Victims Of Domestic Abuse Share Their StoriesReddit post47% of male victims of domestic abuse are threatened with arrest. 21% are arrested.70% of non reciprocal violence is committed by women221 empirical studies and 65 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. All right sothese stories are absolutely horrible and I am so sorry that any of these people had to deal with these things. And it’s absolutely true, we do need visibility for male victims of domestic abuse. And a lot of this is a result of sexism. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about, even if the statistics seems a little iffy (because really, we need multiple sources with more information)I am here mostly because that fourth screenshot from the top that starts out with “I, too, am the victim of a borderline.” I’m sorry that you were a victim of domestic violence, but you were the victim of domestic violence, not “a borderline.” Putting it this way, you’ve put anybody with borderline personality disorder in the role of abuser. Those things are not mutually exclusive, but you’ve made it seem like they are. They are not.“We need multiple sources”I literally linked to a list of 221 empirical studies. How many do you need? 1000?This is abhorrent, These fucking abuses tend to get off Scott-free if they are a woman. I really fucking hope maybe in 2016 we’ll get some law reforms to push down on abusers, Either Male or Female or really any fucking gender.I’ve luckily never been a victim of abuse, And I hope I never will, But hopefully a Teaching/Law Enforcement degree which i’m pursuing may help me if I ever must deal with abuse. And really guys, If you are EVER a victim of abuse, Hopefully I could figure out a way to help. -- source link
