I would argue that far more men face domestic violence. We just accept it though and never report it. How many here have at least been: slapped, punched or kicked by a girlfriend? I bet far more than have slapped punched or kicked a girlfriend. There’s a reason that the number one group for domestic violence are lesbian couples.

Patriarchy: A handful of sociopath takes advantage of everyone.

Great Book

American society has become anti-male. Men are sensing the backlash and are consciously and unconsciously going “on strike.” They are dropping out of college, leaving the workforce and avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates. The trend is so pronounced that a number of books have been written about this “man-child” phenomenon, concluding that men have taken a vacation from responsibility simply because they can. But why should men participate in a system that seems to be increasingly stacked against them?

As Men on Strike demonstrates, men aren’t dropping out because they are stuck in arrested development. They are instead acting rationally in response to the lack of incentives society offers them to be responsible fathers, husbands and providers. In addition, men are going on strike, either consciously or unconsciously, because they do not want to be injured by the myriad of laws, attitudes and hostility against them for the crime of happening to be male in the twenty-first century. Men are starting to fight back against the backlash. Men on Strike explains their battle cry.

It might be more effective if it said:

"I don't want feminism because over 40% of domestic abuse victims are men, and feminism advocates that there should be 0 shelters available due to patriarchy."

I actually want to give my local community credit. I dated a girl who started becoming abusive, and after several incidents broke up with her and contacted local authorities. Victim's advocate took me very seriously, told me that 48% of domestic violence cases reported were perpetrated against men, and told me that the shelter in my community accepts both genders and all sexual orientations. So there's something good.

I have the same oppinion and same poster

SadrageII · 2018-09-28T12:17:40+00:00

There aren't zero though, more like 2 iirc?

Although this is a good post, its title does not say enough about its subject. This forces people to click and read before they can decide whether they are interested. It also makes searching impossible.

If everyone did this, the subreddit would become unusable.

So please don't do it in future. Take the time to describe your link, and save the time of hundreds of other people.

When making a title, it's best to assume the reader doesn't know what you're talking about - but don't go overboard with every detail. Then check if there are any words you can cut out without losing any important information.

“Men need feminism because it is trying to dismantle the gender systematics which also pressure men to not seek help when they are victims of abuse because they should be a big strong man who doesn’t need help.”

bluefootedpig · 2018-09-28T16:54:57+00:00

Wouldn't patriarchy say that men don't need shelters? The whole idea that men are powerful and don't need help is part of patriarchy. Patriarchy isn't just, "men get everything.", it is a set of conditions, like Men are held more responsible for their actions, that is patriarchy.

So 0 shelters is a patriarchy thing, and I guess if you want shelters, you need to stop the patriarchy.

Like here, it is showing that there are shelters for men, but the problem is getting men to be willing to come forward. I don't see how feminism is the reason men don't come forward and use the shelters.

kevon87 · 2018-09-28T14:08:26+00:00

Actually, I believe there are 2. But still.

MonkeyC3PO · 2018-09-28T19:54:15+00:00

40%?! Really? So for 3 women abused, there are 2 men abused?

fxhud · 2018-09-28T21:58:53+00:00

It also says a Satyr is a man with a strong sexual desire.

HeNeverLies4 · 2018-09-28T16:29:20+00:00

So a majority of domestic violence abuse victims are women?

pic_N_mix · 2018-09-28T18:09:05+00:00

Not true. There are two(?) I believe in the nation. One in Dallas and one in New York.

At work on lunch, or else I’d back it up. Maybe later.
