Personal experience... it doesn't fit the narrative... men are beasts & women are nurturers...

Also why the never talk about domestic violence where the woman is the aggressor & the man is the target...

As for the first... personal experience... 'nuff said.

As for the second, i was a counselor in a Battered Women's Shelter for a couple of years.
The FBI crime statistics for that time (around 1985) showed that men were nearly twice as likely to be the victim of domestic violence as women. At that time the "Superbowl wife-beater" lie was sucking all the oxygen out of domestic violence discussions.

Now it does deserve to be mentioned that it takes two to tango. And it IS a cycle if violence... so why are there almost no help for the male partners? If you want to break the cycle, you have to help BOTH halves of the equation.

'nuff said.

I've mentioned in it on here Sgt Wayne Wood, it's a serious problem. Especially since woman have been given freedoms and rights it just doesn't seem enough to them. My brother is a victim of it. But he takes the beatings so his kids won't. And when he tried to get help LE laughed at him and told him to grow a pair! But the minute he even looks threatening to his wife, without question he's gets arrested.
I have an old battle buddy going through it right now. But he's going to take the steps he needs to get help for him and his kids. Hopefully.

And I'll be the first woman to own that at the last year of my marriage I was verbally abusive to my ex husband before I decided we weren't going to make it. But I don't know if it was because I was tired of fighting all the other woman, or them calling child protective services and the Sheriffs Dept on me all the time. Idk, but there's no flight for me, I'm unfortunately a red head and all fight.

So yea, a lot of my issue was co dependency. Because of an abusive mother and Grandmother... lol... I got the best of both worlds. But I recognized it, and told myself i wasn't going to allow it to be passed on to my kids. So I got the help I needed to break away from the toxic people in my life. Unfortunately most times or not, it's the people closest to your heart that beat you down.

I hope your in a better a place now Wayne.

It's getting to where there is some more talk about men as victims. I have seen several websites and FB pages that cover it. There was a male shelter opened in Texas? I can't remember where. Maybe somewhere else.

If I had the money someday I would open a shelter that catered to all victims of domestic violence - have a male "dorm" and a female "dorm." I know for a fact why they don't let males into shelters is because it can trigger the women who are there. I had to spend one night in a shelter when I left my ex husband because he wouldn't leave and I didn't have the money for a hotel. He threatened to stay as long as possible and I didn't have money for that but he left the next day when my leadership gave him a ride to his dad's. So I stayed at this shelter and I had to keep the address private and not tell anyone. It was horrible. Not the conditions but just there with my daughter in this room with like four other women...I couldn't do it longer than that. But I was still in uniform when I got there and I had forgotten to grab sneakers so I had to wear my boots when I changed and this lady walks by and she almost freaked out. She said "Omg I thought a man was in here" when she saw my boots.

Let's just realize that not all women are manipulative who accuse someone of beating them and that it takes ANYONE who is a victim of abuse a long time to come forward. Sometimes never. My ex husband beat me 3 times within a year span. The second time I didn't tell anyone even though my leadership at the time knew. I lied to them. The first time I did report it but a day later and it turned into he said/she said and SOMEHOW he got a female police officer investigating it to believe him over me. The last time I got out of the apartment and called the cops. I'm lucky he didn't kill me honestly. I hate to say I didn't leave then...I filed for divorce about six months later. He's a horrible meth addict and I couldn't take the addiction and I knew he was heading toward hurting me again and if he did it again I thought I might not make it.

I'm going to teach my daughter that she doesn't hurt anyone unless she's defending herself. If she ever were to beat a partner of hers I would come down on her so hard. If she ever gets abused herself...well. No one should be hitting someone else unless you're defending yourself - and that's male or female. If I had a son I would tell him he can defend himself if even a woman attacked him. It's not right for anyone to hit someone else out of anger or spite.

For the same reason there is a rise in MGTOW and mens' rights movements. If you have an amazon prime account watch the Red Pill documentary produced by the former third wave feminist, Cassie Jaye. The governments, state/federal, have bowed to the intense lobbying efforts of third wave feminism and the liberal media's narrative creating a war against men; women, in most cases, are given a pass.

SGT (Join to see) The mainstream is just trying to derail an organic movement. They do not like dissension nor party disloyalty. They have been running a psyop against we the people for power for some time. Taking the red pill is about regaining our power.

That would require admitting that women have power. Or that they can be abusive. Men don't want to admit it (generally speaking of course), and women don't wanna fess up (generally speaking, of course).
