Relational Aggression: Is it a trap for men?

For years, I've held (and expressed) the view that DV/ IPV is at least as much about mental/ emotional/ psychological abuse as it is physical, yet it's almost always the case that official stats record instances of physical abuse only, and discussion of DV always revolves around physical violence.

To focus on physical abuse alone is to miss at least half of the picture, especially since women are generally far more adept at psychological abuse than men. The fact that psychological violence leaves no obvious bruising or scars does not mean it is trivial; quite the reverse.

I don't know if I would define it as a trap but our society treats it as though it is normal. Abuse is abuse no matter what the person looks like that gives it or what the person looks like that receives it. It is no better for a woman to hit a man than a man to hit a woman. Yet the justice system and the people around will cheer when a woman does such an act. It makes me sick

Great article. And, when men don't take the bait, women start slapping or punching at them until the men grab the woman's wrist in self defense causing bruising. Then, the woman calls 911 and says that she was assaulted and shows the bruise on the wrist as evidence. Or she grabs an orange and puts in into a sock then beats herself in the face with it causing bruising.
