I am alleged to have stuck my ex with the tips of two fingers. This after years of psychological abuse on her part. She presented at the police station “in a very distressed state” according to the police report. Shit, I could have told them that! She’d been in a hysterical rage for two days non-stop!
End result: I’m living in a bed-sit wit a A$9000 debt, no assrts, and a police record. She has a big suburban house, a car, and our kid.
Yep, them women’s being abused awright…
But…but…you’re the man! One of those violent, depraved men! I’m sure you deserved it in some way.[/feminazi]
WTF? Are you kidding with that claim and link, or what?
You know, I’m not denying that your ex abused you, or that her claim was false - God knows that happens. But your last line here seems to question whether women are abused by men. Like I said, I doubt this 2 in 5 statistic, but it sure does happen, and it’s not all that uncommon. The fact that some abuses of the system exist doesn’t mean that the basic principles behind it - protecting people from abusive partners - are wrong.
No, that was not my intention. Apologies, it does read that way, and I agree with you point to a large extent. My line is that men and women are abusing each other all the time, but the stats are likely skewed. Quite likely, they are skewed because of the fault of people like me who, in our innocence, decide not to report things to the police (or more to the point, it doesn’t even cross our minds to do so).
