Should've talked about it from the beginning but maybe we're getting there.

While it's great to see them openly talking about this, we should always be very careful about which domestic violence charities we all support. There was a case awhile back with a charity where they used gender neutral language and then it turned out they were your average man-hating feminist organisation.

I suspect now that domestic violence charities are being scrutinised more they are going to go out of their way to hide their true beliefs about men from the general public.

Regardless if this is targeted towards Lesbians, I’m not real sure the biggest problem men face these days is being physically abused by women or raped. Personally I’ve never been afraid that I’d be physically or sexually harmed by a girlfriend or date.

The real problem is how the law and society itself treats men when there is some sort of confrontation between a man and woman:

Things like the Duluth model, the man is always guilty, the man is always assumed to be the one to pay legally, financially, and criminally. We believe women. Period. Man gets hit and bruised, toughen up. He restrains an out of control women who bruises her wrist, he’s screwed. She can scream and throw a fit, and she’s emotional. He does the same thing and he’s abusive and threatening.

From experience, I’ve seen a massive cultural change in just talking with women. 15 years ago, in college, I’d often debate with men and women about politics. If things got emotional as they do after a night of drinking, usually one party just agrees to disagree and we go our separate ways.

Nowadays, as I experienced last weekend at a bar, you say something political within earshot of a woman, and if she doesn’t agree, she immediately complains I’m being abusive - contrary to the 3 cameras monitoring the area- and the bouncer boots me from the bar, backed up by 3 white knights. It’s not even worth arguing the situation, because you won’t win.

It’s a nice change. I think we really should change the stigma of us dudes not talking about shit like this. If one of us is hurt then we should talk about it. I mean, we men train ourselves to get better as we get older but why don’t neglect to train the mind. It’s a muscle too

I'm pretty sure this is aimed at lesbian couples.

Sbeast · 2019-09-14T18:39:38+00:00

I still don't see why these signs don't use 'they', instead of 'he' or 'she'.

Here before r/antimenrights refugees have a fit about equal treatment again

Verbal abuse is causing more damages too. Long lasting damages by slowly breaking every psychological strength you have, The worst part is it comes from your SO, the person you loved dearly. You don't know it until it's too late.

I agree, but it’s this s total fucking clown world where men get happy and smile when we see a billboard acknowledging abuse against men?

You’d think any mention of abuse would wipe a smile from a man’s face, not put a smile on.

This just goes to show how twisted things have become. We get ecstatic just by being acknowledged.
