The Face Of Men Abused By Women

Article here. Excerpt:

'Steven said he knows some people will think he's weak, and he wants them to know after years of abuse at the hands of his mother, it was all he knew. He said he is now happily married to a wonderful woman.

He added, "Men's hearts and feelings are like women's hearts and feelings. They feel the same. It doesn't matter if that heart is covered with muscles or breasts, the pain cuts deeply and the losses crowd in. And it doesn't matter if the world thinks men don't feel. You still hurt."'

I have known two men in my life that were involved in abusive relationships perpetrated by women. In one instance the man I know has a great heart, is gentle, kind and would never hurt or abuse anyone. He is very wealthy and you would recognize his name if I printed it here. One day when I was at his house, his "girlfriend" lost her temper because (and I'm not kidding) he put out the wrong bath towel after he had drawn her bath. She became inraged and flew into a violent episode. She went outside, got into one of his antique cars and began to use it so smash his collection to junk. Twelve cars in all.

Another incident involved a friend at work who was reading to his 5 year old daughter when his wife became inraged because he didn't clean the counter undeneath the microwave. She smashed dishes, destroyed a bookshelf in the living room and wrecked furniture. The tenant in the basement called the police, they came and told him HE had to leave dispite their undestanding of what happened.

When are men and society going to hold women to the same standards of behavior that we hold ourselves to?!

...approximately 12 minutes after hell freezes over.

Can't overcome millions of years of evolution and thousands of years of culture in a few years.

Some will call him "weak", but those are just the trivial responders. It is more likely that people, especially feminist sympathizers, will say he is engaging in "reverse victimization", i.e. when a man is a victim of long-term of abuse by a woman. Many people will just say that his case is the exception rather than the rule, which isn't true*, and blow him off as "some bitter guy".

*I am firmly convinced, that the sexual abuse of sons by mothers and other female relatives, is usually ignored and/or denied as a common phenomenon, and is also grossly under-reported. I had a friend who told his female therapist, about how his mother snuck into his room one night and abused him in this way. My friend told me that the therapist's response was complete silence, followed by her changing the subject. Whereas therapists are trained to actively question female patients on this issue, often to the point where they become suggestive.

As long as mens' stories are ignored, denied, censored, and burried, every one of us will continue to suffer.
