Men are responsible for 97% of domestic violence and abuse - New York State Government

Perpetrators who are arrested for DV crimes or the violation of an order of protection are overwhelmingly male, and their victims overwhelmingly female.

I wonder why that might be? cough Duluth model cough

Women’s attempts to dominate men are much more likely to fail, because “…sexual discrimination allows men privileged access to the material and social resources needed to gain advantage in power struggles.”

"access to the material and social resources needed to gain advantage in power struggles" Oh, are they talking about things like social services, i.e. women's shelters, or divorce courts favouring one gender, i.e. women, or alimony, which almost only women get, or child custody, which is also mostly given to mothers? Yeah, I'd really love to see the examples of this supposed privileged access that they never provided.

We don’t see heterosexual men whose self-esteem is destroyed by abuse, who give up school and career progress, who are forced into unwanted sex, or who flee for their lives.

No, when they come forward you instead see privileged scumbags who never had it hard in their lives, who don't even know what real abuse is and who need to "man up", because what happened to them is not even worth mentioning. Or are they implying that because the abuse (supposedly) doesn't destroy their self-esteem it's somehow okay?

People intervene in abuse more than they used to, and if those men were out there, someone would have noticed.

Yeah, people totally wouldn't defend, say, female rapists who prey on underaged boys and manipulate them into sex. Never happened before. Ever.

Weird how this contradicts pretty close to every other study we see on the matter. I would love to see the methodology in the data collection process.

So they're just making up shit now to maintain their narrative of victimhood?

I would say I feel bad for men living in New York.

But unfortunately, this dishonesty and explicitly codified anti-male bigotry against male victims of domestic violence is not unique to New York.

Norms for female behavior work against women becoming abusers. These norms include: Defer to men. Be nice – you can “catch more flies with honey.” Adapt to things you don’t like; endure what you can’t control. Soothe other people’s anger. Shut up! Keep your feelings to yourself – especially anger. Keep the peace. Keep the family together. Take responsibility for how men treat you. Don’t be too “demanding.”

Amazing. All you have to do is reverse the genders to make it factual.
