FVAMB = Female Violence Against Men And Boys
Without a doubt it happens. Just as much as it's counterpart. Just as wrong, unacceptable and contemptible. Both genders are capable of heinous violence against each other but as usual, society and government largely mitigates or even ignores the fact men and boys also experience violence by female offenders in high numbers and that it's very difficult to accurately gauge the number of male victims. Male victims often don't report out of fear of being disbelieved or mocked, their attacker playing victim and saying she acted in self-defense and knowing she'll be believed (especially worse now thanks to the "believe women" mantra). Any instance of a man or boy defending himself against a female attacker is still frowned upon and the male is still painted as the guilty culprit even when he wasn't. Making matters worse is the lack of abuse shelters that help male victims and under the VAWA that any kind of VAMB is still counted as being against women. Furthermore, no efforts are made to distinquish instances of violence committed in self-defense from that done out of genuine malice and ill will.
The numbers are no doubt very high in number and much moreso than people think or want to admit to, but it's intentionally suppressed as it goes against the misandrist narrative of women/girls only being affected and men/boys being trivial or not mattering by comparison. It's sickening and frustrating. And we bring up this fact, we'll get the usual rebuttals to stop derailing the conversation about women's safety, why do we only bring this up when it's women talking, it's like saying "all lives matter," etc. Ugh.
Both men/boys and women/girls can be and are terribly violent against each other. This is an undeniable fact. But misandrists unfortunately have succeeded in largely covering up and suppressing instances of FVAMB and creating hysteria over MVAWG. It's disgusting how they exploit geuinely abused women and girls to promote their agenda against men/boys and see to it they never get the attention and help they need just as much as their female counterparts.
It's simply infuriating when misandrists will not only mitigate and marginalized FVAMB as much as they do, they'll claim it isn't an "epidemic" like it's counterpart supposedly is and will claim the vast majority of instances of FVAMB is the women/girl defending herself. Ugh. You just can't reason with these people. And it's especially bad how they're distorted facts with their hate-filled agenda and that's now what passes as the truth.
