Wouldn't be so funny if he'd punched her out. HE'D be doing prison time while the bitch enjoyed his house, money and kids. Equality, my ass.

Couldn't he just, you know, block the blow? How hard can a Brit chick punch anyway? Jesus.
What's with this prissy metrosexual whining anyway? First attempt at hitting me, she'd be tossed out the door and the locks changed.

Yes, in general men are stronger than women, but that's not really the point.
Men are trained from birth not to retaliate against women. A big guy will often stand there and take it because he doesn't believe he should hit a woman. If he does hit back, she can shout domestic violence, and everyone will blame him. That's the position men are in.
It's about double-standards. Every time a woman strikes her man it shows the feminist view of DV to be a pack of lies.

This morning, the media in the UK is treating the incident as a joke. What makes it even worse is that Wade has been running a newspaper campaign against domestic violence.

The irony of that would almost be comical if it weren't so damned sad.

The Metro paper here in the UK has a good report of the story. It doesn't treat it as a joke and even has statistics showing men are often just as likely to suffer DV as women. It also has quotes from a support group for battered men and points out groups for male victims of DV get no money at all from the government whilst loads of cash is poured into groups for female victims.
Obviously the leftie BBC and the Sun (Wade's crappy newspaper, which is truly dumbed-down tripe) treat it as a joke, but credit to the Metro for highlighting the issue seriously.

The Metro is a free newspaper given out on buses and trains, but it frequently has surprisingly good reports, more sympathetic to men than most newspapers in this country. It is underrated.

The BBC Video didn't really treat it like a joke at all. And it pointed out Wade's campaign against domestic violence before mentioning the incident, which was reported straight.

On the one hand, I think the police had a responsibility to take this seriously. On the other, the husband here had the responsibility to press charges. He needed to insist that the police follow the law, that when someone is attacked, they attacker is punished.
I think it would be a lot more effective if men stood up for themselves. They do not have the seeming lack of power women use to get others to do it for them.
I do want to say he should not have to be the one to make sure she is procecuted. That is not his job. To make any sort of change, however, I am afraid men are the ones who will have to stand up and demand it.

Too bad we have so many wussie-poopies or "take it like a man" types that just refuse to do so.

There's a flip side to this though. I suspect he hasn't reported it because at the end of the day it was a minor matter. Also, none of the main domestic violence organisations have spoken out about this so obviously it's a none issue to them as well.
Now let's look into the future when these so called DV experts start asking for more money or try to redefine DV and try to create more hysteria they are going to look so so stupid.
I'm not sure if you are aware but there were two assaults this day of famous male UK actors. Also buried in amongst this news was an article about one of the UKs famous footballers who is suing the Sun newspaper for libel for stating that he slapped his girlfriend. The hypocracy is piling high!
To me this is like 3 Christmas days wrapped into one and i'd seriously like to think that the DV industry and the feminists are in for a rough ride from now on.

I've heard a lot about this story because I've been driving a lot the last 2 days and had the radio on.
Wade herself has today said that the incident was "blown out of proportion". Very interesting choice of words as he sustained a cut to his face - all the while feminists are busy trying to extend the definition of DV to cover shouting etc etc. In Scotland this week, they have announced new laws to target kerb-crawlers as prostitution is also apparently a "form of domestic violence".
I've also been pretty annoyed by the "humorous" look at today's headlines that I heard a few male anchors do on the radio. They all referred to the incident as "humorous" and seemed obliged to point out the "humour" in this actor who plays a very "macho" character getting hit by a little teensy weensy woman.
Finally, it was also widely reported that the other actor who plays his equally "macho" brother in the soap opera Eastenders was also assaulted by a woman (on the street this time) on the very same day as Ross Kemp. Read the humorous reporting of this incident here.
These women, eh? Never commit DV.........

I know this is a bit off topic, but not SO much so...
Just a couple of nights ago, here in Indianapolis, where I live, we had a man shoot his 4 year old son to death, then turned the gun on himself and commit suicide.
He Emailed a bunch of people to tell them what he was planning to do.
In the emails he said he did so because his wife had filed for divorce AND that he knew that she would more than likely get custody of the boy. He said (to the effect) that: "The mother usually gets the benefit of the doubt in all divorce and custody cases". He knew he couldn't win, as MOST men are just now learning.
I am of course not excusing what he did, but it really illustrates the problem. We are seeing more and more of this sort of thing, not just in Indiana, but across the country.
If the divorce industry does not change it's policies and views of men, I think we will see still more of this happening. Will it become epidemic? Well, I don't really know. I hope not. But I DO predict more of the same in the future.
Thundercloud.

There was a case in my town last spring where a man threw his daughter off an overpass onto a busy highway. She survived, and no mention was made of any custody or divorce issues in the media reporting of "just another male monster". We couldn't mention that he was an aggreived father who'd "lost it" waiting for the courts to decide to let him see his own child, heavens no, that would be supporting domestic violence against women and children. Or that he planned to follow her onto the road as a final act of desperation.
This type of nonsensical anti-male "journalism" has reached the point where the sinking of the Titanic would now be reported as "A boat designed by a man sank. A man was the captain. 1500 were killed." The iceberg which actually caused the sinking would never be mentioned. Just the men who designed and sailed the boat. If it arrived safely, the media would now cover the exploitation of the chambermaids on board by the men who owned the ship.
Back to the story and the relevant "iceberg" in this case: it's since come to light that he was locked in a desperate custody dispute at the time, and was being denied visitation rights as he was so far in arrears on child support. While I could never condone this fellow's clearly deranged actions, I guess having the poor taste to be involuntarily unemployed somehow makes you an unfit father. Or, if it's voluntary unemployment, an ideal mother. Depends on how you look at it, right?
Which supreme court justice was it that said "sunlight is the best disinfectant"?
If we could provide desperate fathers with some reassurances, some hope, some assistance and treatment without being accused of "endorsing violence against women and children" and "taking resources away from the (pardon me, suppressing vomit) fight against impolite facial expressions (aka 'violence') against women", maybe, just maybe, we could help prevent these desperate, violent acts, which are frequently the product of the psychological "violence" (to use the feminist DV industry's own ever-expanding definition) that feminists, family courts and their DV industry commit against boys, men and fathers each and every minute of each and every day.
