Because in our modern world we do have equality before the law for each and every gender, do we not?

Given that description the wife who won’t let a bloke wander off to the pub for a natter with £15 for a few beers gets put in pokey.

And quite right too of course.

That is the way it will work, isn’t it?

“Yes, your bum does look big in that” to be a crime

If telling the wife that she’s got a bit porky is to be domestic abuse then what phrase do we then use for someone who belts their wife with an iron bar?

Seriously people, we’ve got to get back to having a sense of proportion.

And I assume that nagging a husband about his beer belly also qualifies as this new abuse? And if not why not?

In fact, if you argue from asymmetry in physical strength that men should be more carefully watched for signs of being a physical abuser, by the same logic women are the sex who should be more carefully monitored for signs of being an emotional abuser. In other contexts, we're told that women are the superior sex for emotional intelligence and social skills. Female bullies play to those strengths - they're not giving black eyes in the schoolyard, they're using their better developed verbal skills to slip in the psychological knife and using their better developed social skills to isolate their victims from their support group.

Not sexist,just ignorant of female abusers.That's my take anyway.

Just ladies projecting their own abusive behavior on men as usual. Don't act like every single one of these aren't in your repertoire ladies .(and guys who want to be called ladies, there I'm being fair)

when taken to the exetreme these are abuse. but its not just men that do these things. women do it too. sometimes just as much as men.

So if she is spending money unscrupulously and without thought depleting savings and he is yelling at her for doing it, who is the abuser?
