Figures show every year that 1 in 3 victims of domestic abuse are male

You write that post according to what gets reported to the police only, right?

“1 in 3 of victims of physical domestic abuse reported to police are men”

Maleficent-Life4799 · 2021-12-06T12:31:02+00:00

A professor Elizabeth Bates at the university of Cumbria has produced papers on Male victims of domestic abuse, and the numbers were about 50/50 regarding Male and female victims. (Don't know how to post them on reddit)

Wait wait wait,

The thing to remember and it applies to men and women, is that these stats are usually based upon official reports right? And those statistics only have value when someone has reported it.

So it could be, statically, even further, 1 in 10 could be men, or 4 in 10 could be women.

My point is, always take these stats as possibilities because I imagine it is much much worse than 1 in 3. Remember, women KNOW men get laughed at if they report anything. There was a guy in Bedworth? Maybe Nuneaton in the UK that was almost beaten to death by his girlfriend before someone took him seriously otherwise whenever he mentioned it people just laughed at him.

There is an argument that by far most victims are male. And most perpetrators are female. Given everything we know about:

-sex differences,

-child abuse stats,

-different ipv rates by sexuality ( gay men, lesbians, straight etc),

-likelihood to report,

reception of reports

-who controls choices in relationships

-who gets arrested if the perp is female/victim is male

the best guess is that IPV is majority female on anyone. That is why lesbians have the highest rates.

Public sphere violence particularly among strangers ( muggings, brawls, murders), is majority male on male. What is happening in IPV most likely, is men eventually defending themselves or restraining a violent woman get listed as the perp and that, plus massive underreporting reverse the real numbers.

Men are likely more often abused by women than the other way around according to the largest study on Domestic Violence ever conducted.

In summary, 25% of relationships have some sort of violence. Half of those relationships had violence perpetrated by both partners against the other (M->F & F->M). The other half saw it from only one partner (M->F or F->M). Of this group, 70% OF THE VIOLENCE WAS COMMITTED BY THE FEMALE. The study then goes on to say, "...a woman’s perpetration of violence was the strongest predictor of her being a victim of partner violence."

I hold this study near and dear because it was the piece of information that convinced me to leave my abusive baby-mama. I knew I would eventually respond physically to one of her attacks and that would be the end of me. Our society has done all it can to convince boys that "it is never okay to hit a girl." For real incremental improvement in DV trends, we now must convince girls that it is never okay to hit boys.

That is an underestimate. At least 43% are men but that is also and underestimate because men are practically barred by the law to report abuse as police will arrest them and they get indicted no matter the circumstances. Once having a police report even though they were the victims men are bound to lose their children, their money and their freedom. I think it is pretty safe to say that the majority of domestic violence victims are men as the law is always on the side of women no matter what.

Unfortunately I'm a statistic. Suffered psychological, emotionally and ultimately physical abuse from a histrionic narc girlfriend.

None of my friends would listen to me, when it happened in front of them they thought it was cute and funny. I was always made out to be the bad guy no matter how I tried to handle things.

Even in the end when I left she still twisted everything to make me out as the bad guy and I lost all those friends and got zero closure or comfort after being abused for two years.

To this day none of those"friends" showed a sliver of empathy or concern. Even after all the bullshit she fed to them after I walked away they never even reached out to see if both accounts were similar.

The woman I'm dating now showed more empathy and frankly outrage at what my ex did to me than any of those people. Guys who get abused by their SOs very rarely will see any support or care from people if abused. If I did even a fraction of the mental fuckery she did to me I'd have a literal army of women howling for my blood and balls but a guy comes to you a messed up saying his gf is doing messed up stuff and saying messed up stuff and they'll just come up with excuses for the behavior at worst and at best say something along the lines of "you're the man in the relationship, control it".

But controlling your partner is abuse, no? Or only if a man does it? Most men who have tried to talk about their abuse probably saw as little care as I did. I can see why most men won't bother talking about it.

Kaylarmagic · 2021-12-06T14:53:46+00:00

Wow and that's just what is reported. I always felt that the abuse cases were probably on par for men and women. This kinda proves it.

"Three victims of domestic abuse are male"

ILoveBigBoobsYesIDo · 2021-12-06T15:07:50+00:00

OP, where's the link to the report that shows this figures?

2021-12-06T17:00:47+00:00

More like 1 in 2

Ignis_1 · 2021-12-06T20:17:07+00:00

The cropping is jist so funny

SwamiSweatSocks · 2021-12-06T19:49:47+00:00

I know from personal experience women don't get reported. It's excusable supposedly because they're smaller, weaker so they can pretty much do what they want with impunity.

LeatherDescription26 · 2021-12-06T11:33:10+00:00

So 2/3 are women?

Look I agree it’s fucked up but let’s try to avoid the same pitfalls feminism is still going down

I'm getting some "one in three homeless people are women" vibes lol. I'm not an expert here though so I'll leave y'all to discuss it.

pr0j3ct1l3 · 2022-01-12T16:17:24+00:00

But hardly any of this abuse is fatal.

Men do not get killed by the 100's. Men do not get raped. Ever.

So then...2 out of 3 are female? This looks like a stat to help fight domestic abuse against women
