FC, log off when you leave home!!! The joke, it was Fifi not FC

No… you need to be more attentive to detail, and look above to see if it says FiFi!!!!  This is just like the toilet seat issue.  If women don’t want men to pee on the seat, LEAVE IT UP!!!!

I’ve seen enough in this thread to know who wears the pants in your house.

You haven’t “seen” nothing but one thing for sure is that you keep judging without knowing!

If you could hit the hole there wouldn’t be any problem, that’s why, we women are smart enough to seat when we pee…

I thought that’s what this thread was all about.

Pfft!

So, back to what you said, do you believe that abusive husbands are common?

Well very hard to say, given that we never find out about most of it.
‘Not rare’, I think we can be safe in saying that.

I think there is more abusive women than men. Women have an answer to their problem, people to take care of them, shelters, men don’t have that, so why should they talk about being abused. To all this, you add men’s pride…

You believe women are more likely to resort to violence when frustrated or angry than men?

Stats? Would they also take into account abuse by women to men may be reported less often, for the reasons FiFi listed?

I am not sure about this, I think that frustration can lead to violence. My point is more that men won’t talk if they are abused because there’s no structure ready for them when there are for women and I don’t think that’s fair!

Women physically abuse men often now, do they? And I guess we are not talking about slaps or scratches here either, but outright serious physical harm? Near death beatings? Baseball bat to the head kind of beatings?

I wonder. Is this as common as when children beat their parents up?

Again, I guess we don’t know how violent women can be because men have no one to talk to.

From the site you posted…

4. Men will tolerate more pain than women. They are more likely to “grin and bear it.” And again, many are ashamed to seek medical help for abuse.

5. Unless a woman uses a weapon (and many do), a woman usually does not have the strength of a man to inflict serious injury by abuse.

That initself suggests to me that the problem with abused men is not as big as the other way around. Men simply have a greater ability to inflict serious physical harm than women do. We are stronger. If a woman hit me, I might not hit back. But if she continued to hit, and hit and hit and hit, I certainly would put a stop to it.

However, I do agree with you that the community lack in skills when dealing with men on particulary emotional issues. While women often have support groups, men are supposed to stick things through. Men are not supposed to show emotions (unless watching sports). A raped man might very possibly suffer anonymously. A woman might too, but it’s still more ok for women to acknowledge that they have been raped. I don’t think that there are any quick fixes to these things. I do believe that men generation by generation tend to get ‘softer’, thus perhaps gradually making it easier for men to be picked up my support groups and such…
