Male victim of domestic violence gets over 7,000 reblogs of his story on Tumblr.

The worst part to me about this story is the end, where it says that all of the therapists they went to would ask the woman if she felt safe without even knowing the circumstances. That's a horrible double standard, and the medical professionals and doctors of this country should be the ones with enough intelligence and education to put aside such preconceived notions as women are the only victims.

EDIT: The rest of his TUMBLR is VERY VERY NSFW. It's like creepy porno or something.

Holy shit that bitch is batshit crazy, how does one wave about a broken glass bottle at another person then say to them “Go on! Leave! I’m not stopping you!”

Guy needs to call the cops before she kills him, she believes so much that she cannot possibly hurt him that she might just accidentally, or for all we know intentionally, kill him.

This is a great eye opening post, just be aware that some of the other posts are NSFW if you browse around.

This should really be on the front page.

I really, really wish male victims of domestic violence got more attention in the media. I'm a girl (not that it matters), and I'm really worried that my brother-in-law is living in this kind of a situation. He and my sister are still "together", but the marriage is all kinds of dysfunctional. I don't know how to tell him it's okay to try and get help, or to get out. I feel like I would be insulting his "manhood" or something if I tried to talk with him about it.

Call the cops?....maybe.....perhaps......

crushtor · 2011-08-01T13:30:16+00:00

A tragic story but still, one that's getting a lot of attention on Tumblr. I for one was very glad to see a lot of men supporting this man in getting his story out.

Why is this guy still living with his ex wife? Thats never a good idea no mater what. It doesn't look like the child is benefiting much from the "tense" situation as well as possibly other fights and such that are happening in this house. I personally feel this story is not kosher, there are a lot of other things behind the scenes that are not told, maybe a custody battle or whatnot, at which both are putting eachother in tense situations to gain favor of courts.

Alleged victim. Unless it's been proven in court, we don't know anything for sure.

This made me teary.

I saw my pregnant mother swing a huge stool at my father.

I saw the shattered door and blood on the floor from when she threw her boyfriend through a glass door. He is an emotionally/physically abusive bastard himself who deserved it, but nonetheless my mother is still fucking crazy, despite being tiny.

I saw the jagged, deep cuts streaking across the face and neck of my regular friend/husband of my mother's best friend/taxi driver, from when his wife threw his fucking boots through an indoors window at hm and reached through the hole to grab him. She's also a tiny woman.

I saw my friend's girlfriend hitting her head against a brick wall when he tried to break up with her (for lying about being pregnant when he previously tried to leave her), and he called the cops because she assaulted him. He was fucking 16 and she had a restraining order out on him. Then, she proceeded to remain in a relationship with him with that restraining order hanging over his head like marionette strings.

I saw a random man at a service station being beaten with an umbrella whilst backed against the car by a woman, in broad daylight, and people just walked around like nothing was happening. I told the bitch to fuck off and leave him alone, she got angry at me instead and left him alone - since she didn't lay a hand on me, I didn't mind.

Don't get me wrong, I see about equal amounts of abuse in relationships coming from the man - but that's not all I see. The general population has to fucking well realise people are abusive, not men.

If you didn't already know, I'm a woman, not that that really changes anything.

Edit: Also, I saw a woman punch her partner in the face because she'd been out "too long/late". Her partner was another woman.

For all of you MRA marriage enthusiasts who like to point at intact marriages as "success" may I present you this story as evidence that the stats don't tell the whole story. Some just can't afford to get a divorce. There are many other reasons people don't divorce. So, please, let's get past the divorce rate discussion. Whether it's 40% or 50% it doesn't matter. The number of dysfunctional marriages is FAR higher than that.

And of course someone comes and tries to compare MRAs posting a story about and discussing the problem of of domestic violence against men to white supremacists and says we're just a bunch of whiny conspiracy theorists.

Has anyone looked at the rest of this guy's posting? or wondered why he was talking to his estranged wife while naked? Not supporting an abuser, but saying this guy may not be the best poster-boy for the cause....

Guy51234 · 2011-08-01T21:24:02+00:00

If your close to being abused, run don't walk away.

Truley there is no excuse for a man to stay....you will not get justice by staying and you are guilty before even being accused.

Ours is a society that hates men.

Make no committments, do not share your wealth. Do not aspire to marriage or children.

If you value your freedom.

This is why they need to stay in the kitchen.
