Author Calling for Stories of Abuse of Men by Women
I thought I'd pass this along... a social worker is writing a book on relationships wherein the man stays with the woman even when he is being abused by her. The web site is aptly named http://www.mypsychobitch.com/. Excerpt from the "About" section:
'As the years went by, I became more experienced as a therapist. With more experience came more exposure to similar stories wherein, with seemingly little or no provocation, the woman was flat out abusive to the man. In one case, while working with a couple, I asked the woman, "What were you thinking when you threw the ashtray which struck your husband in the head, causing an emergency room visit and seven stitches?"
With incredulity, I recall he wife saying, "I don't know that was thinking anything." She then changed the subject and continued talking about something else unrelated to her attack. I asked the man about his thoughts and feelings on this topic. His response, "She didn't mean to hurt me."'

Can I relate or what...
Have two former gfs stand out. One was college, where when she got a less-than-A grade on a test, she would start hitting me, once drawing blood from my chin (right before a party, too, and of course, I made up excuses when people asked-- I said I cut myself shaving). Took me two months to get out of things with her. Fast-forward 15 years, and the second abusive relationship stands out, this about 5 years ago... perfectly nice girl most of the time, esp. when we first started dating. Had a great sex life, got along just fine, etc., etc., until one day she just started getting mad at me for no apparent reason. She didn't get violent, just annoyed about *whatever*. I tried talking to her about why and usually she never had a very clear answer, just a lot of yelling and accusations, etc. All I can think is that she just liked taking her frustrations out on someone, and the guy she was dating was the closest target (and most likely to put up with it, too). Wasn't long before I left that scene and having learned what is abusiveness and what is not, what is the pattern, what to look for, etc., have never had another such relationship and if it ever gets that way, I know to leave ASAP.
The rule is simple: Is she abusing you? Dump her post-haste.

"I don't know that was thinking anything"
Should there be an "I" between "that" and "was"?
One thing I am wondering is, if something eventually comes out of this, will the "official" definition of "abuse" only include actual violence, or other types of overt behaviour? When the roles are reversed, it includes manipulation, coercion, denial of affection and various other forms of psychological and verbal abuse.

As i speak out in my local
As i speak out in my local community...
One man approached me and stated his ex-wife stabbed him, and he showed me the scar!! He said he stayed in the relationship to try and keep the kids safe!!
In this culture of constant women-as-victim agit-prop...he was too scared to tell anyone!!
Are we being asked to touch the hot stove - again?
Why, oh why would any male d. v. victim trust anyone associated with the domestic violence industry, after having been beaten, lied to, vilified, battered again by the system, etc.? At some point the natural reaction is to associate the abusive behavior with the abuser and avoid the domestic violence industry, especially its researchers, who have overwhelmingly as a group destroyed a lot of innocent men's lives.
Trust once lost is long gone.
Sounds like my story
Several woman I've spent time with have become violent at least once, and I mean real violence, not the feminist definition thereof. I'm a very big guy (6'2", used to play football), and yet these women thought they had both the right and the ability to get away with assaulting me. Whatever could have given them that foolish idea?
In one case, a woman thought it wise to take a swing at me during an argument. My (now long-dead) chivalry is the only thing that kept her teeth in her mouth as she was unceremoniously shown the door.
In another, a woman decided to get physical during a discussion. No serious damage (throwing things, she managed to slap me once or twice). I literally threw her out the door.
Finally, the last woman I spent time with was big on throwing things around. Never at me, just in my presence. She, too was invited to screw off in a big hurry.
This after a childhood watching my mother regularly assaulting me, my siblings and my father. One of my sisters is a violent one too, according to her ex.
Not to mention a continuous stream of the feminist-defined "violence" of head games, manipulation, controlling behavior, jealous rages, etc. etc. etc. It's not violence when you do it, right girls?
Zero tolerance, gentlemen, for violence, lying, manipulation, deceit and adultery/cheating. Out the door they go. Defend yourself if you have to, but remember that you will be charged for doing so.
Pussy just is NOT worth it, and we all know that the police will arrest YOU if you call them.
Women Are Sophisticated Aggressors
I apologize for promoting this book every time the subject of female aggressiveness comes up, but it's an eye-opening read for most men who have never considered that women LEARNED systematically how to be predators, use other people as weapons, and win at the game all the while looking innocent.
Rachel Simmon's -- ODD GIRL OUT: THE HIDDEN CULTURE OF AGGRESSION IN GIRLS. (Cheap paperback on amazon.com)
Men, you must understand, girls go through years of psychological martial arts training in deceit, manipulation, subterfuge, indirection, guile, dissembling, lying, plausible deniability, etc. etc.
It is called "the friendship wars" and every female goes through it during her elementary and high school years. (Longer if she goes to university and pledges at a sorority. Addicts every one...)
Men, products of millenia of foolish chivalry -- well, it worked for a while, back in the saber-toothed tiger cave days --
still have a hard time believing that while they were once the hunters, they are now the PREY!
Once marked as prey by a predatory species, the best advice is to find another habitat, one that excludes the potential of premature mortality by associating with your enemy.
hmm..sounds interesting, I will order Simmons' book..but I
I consider any money paid by me for the book, to be contributed to her funeral expenses fund. As no doubt she has received death threats from feminists, like especially the ones she is talking about in her book.
