Warwick University- would you want any dgc of yours to go there?

Nonnie Please check that post again. I didn't make the comment you have italicised, although I do feel some affinity with it.

Some men are determined to see themselves as the underdogs, despite the fact that women across the world have, at best, been discriminated against in both public and private arenas and, at worst, have suffered immense physical and psychological damage at the hands of men. Obviously, there are individual cases of men who have suffered at the hands of women, which is equally abhorrent, but that is not a common occurrence - as is borne out by statistics relating to acts of violence and murder.

Sorry Eloethan I responded to the wrong person. Should have been Iam.

Yes I agree but what you have said about 'some men' equally applies to some women. As I have already said I don't think we can rely on statistics as they only show reported cases and I have knowledge of men who would not report for the sake of their children and also because they didn't think they would be believed because men are bigger than women so how could they be abused? The point I am trying to make is that it is not only women who are abused because there are some who seem to think it is only men who abuse. I see nothing wrong with admitting men are abused too.

I haven’t seen any posts disputing that men are never subjected to abuse, including the abuse of false allegations. My comments are based on years of research based work.

You may not Iam but I have, not recently, but whenever I stand up for men I get treated as if I don't agree that women are abused. Abuse is abuse whether it is man on woman or woman on man. Why would anyone think that one is more important the other? It is not a competition.

It isn't a competition Nonnie, however 3 men aren't murdered every week by their female partners, are they. 3 women are murdered by male partners.
Most sexual abuse of men, women and children is perpetrated by men.
I hasten to add, I share my life with a man I love, I have many much loved male friends and relations. I have grandsons (four) and I'm in no way anti male. I am though worried about the messages we and our wider society give to our boys and girls as they're growing up. How come domestic abuse isn't a thing of the past?
