Abstract

Purpose

This paper seeks to re‐examine data from the US National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) to explore the extent of intimate partner violence against male victims. It aims to examine the domestic violence system's response to male victims.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper's approach is to re‐examine NISVS data, research on the impact of IPV on male victims and the system's response to it.

Findings

In the last year, males are more often the victim of intimate partner physical violence, psychological aggression and control over sexual/reproductive health.

I have a theory that many men don't report these things.

Say thought experiment right.

Say a guy had been consistently slapped by his wife for saying something she didn't like. Say this man has been taught to never hit a woman back, so he doesn't. Then he knows consciously and subconsciously if he tells anyone it'll be dishonorable.

Let's say he does say something. He's told he's bigger and stronger than her. That he should talk to her and figure things out. Obviously bad advice (but sense women are seen to be more fragile and men more agressive and predatorial) many people would assume that he had to have done or said something wrong. He may be talked into giving her another chance. "Maybe she can change".

(Obviously if things get violent enough to where weapons are drawn and the man is actually hurt that would likely make it out)

I don't know maybe I'm wrong, but I feel as though many men feel shamed or find shame when they do speak out.

I also know plenty of men that are forced to change their entire personality to be with a girl. She controls everything he does. (Stopping smoking, drinking, inappropriate jokes, listening to hard rock and so on (Obviously it can be good if it's an addiction)) Many men are lonely enough to take this. Sure it's their choice, but I feel like if the roles were flipped many would have the opinion that the man was abusive and absolutely controlling. I believe that anyone that trys to slam someone in their cookie cutter is abusive no matter the sex, but I just feel like the males side isn't advocated for enough.

"Increased domestic violence education directed at women and services to men should lead to a reduction of DV against women as well as men," It won't since anytime men attempt to help male DV victims in any way possible, women and feminists demonize them, they drive them to suicide (referring to the Earl Silverman situation), tell them men are always the perpertrators/women are always the victims, tell them they're stealing resources from women, tell them most male DV victims are victims of male perpertrators, etc. Which is a stupid since almost 100% of men are straight, therefore, men are mostly abused by women + gay men have the lowest rates of DV/rape/stalking in intimate relationships out of everybody.

"since woman aggressors frequently are themselves victimized subsequently." Of course they continue pushing the feminist myth that women mostly hit men in "self defense" to make excuses for female perpetrators hitting their male victims. This is not only a lie, but it's been shown that women perpetrate 70% of one sided DV and even when it's mutual, women are still more likely than men to hit first. So it's the exact opposite. Men are the ones mostly hitting women in self defense, while women mostly hit men because they're the more violent one, or the only violent one in the relationship.
