Al..right. Let's do a little sanity check and let's see how up or downvoted is gets.

  1. It is absolutely true that violence against women is structurally endemic in our societies and they represent a large majority of domestic violence
  2. It is also absolutely true that domestic violence against men is clearly under-reported, to an unknown but significant extant
  3. It is absolutely true that abuse is abuse

Those assertions do not contradict each other.

Under-reported probably does not begin to capture it. I doubt 99.999% of instances of women hitting their man have ever been reported in human history, speaking from experience mostly due to pride.

Its a total double standard, as is almost everything with women. There I said it.

Rather than plain mysogyny, men and anti DV movements which men are part of should engage in their conception of pride, seeking help, admitting you can be a victim too and listening to other males victims. And if course when they want it legal action.

If you wish to solve the issue, that's the main way to go.

If you want to promote a conservative backlash about feminism and spread basic misogynistic views, you're on the right track though.

I've been working with movements and research efforts to make men more aware about reporting victimhood and seeking mental health help for years. I won't prove it because it would likely make my identity public, which I'm not comfortable doing here. Guess what ? I'm working with more feminist actors than you can imagine in your little echo chamber.

Also : "immensely under-reported", if that suits you better. But considering your visible agenda, I doubt it will.

Ha! #2 is wrong because you said extant instead of extent. I've got you now, sensible internet stranger! ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค“
