Domestic violence is considered one of the most pressing issues in American society. Everyone quotes the statistics given by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: 1 in 4 women will be victims of domestic violence at some point in their lives, 1.3 million women are assaulted by their partner every year, 85% of domestic violence reported is against women. However, in a conflicting survey taken by the CDC in 2010, [b]it was found that 40% of the victims of severe, physical domestic violence are men.[/b]

What is worse than the statistics, however, is the fact that there has been little research in the area of domestic abuse against men because neither the Justice Department nor any other agencies will fund such research. Because they refuse to do the research, people are able to perpetuate such myths as women are only violent when defending themselves, or that men could more easily leave a violent relationship.
Because of lack of funding, there are also few shelters that cater to men. Most shelters available will only take women and children, and some even have an age limit on the boys that they will take in (13 years old).

1/3 women are victims 1/4 men are I read that CDC report, thats what it said. Eat it feminists

Also men get it worse because men are naturally stronger and so they just hit women. Women usually use blunt objects like bats which cause more damage.

Edited by sputnikwon: 6/10/2015 1:24:49 PMI don't think it matters what gender you are. Abuse as a whole needs to stop, Anyone can be a victim.
-
It's awful. Any sort of abuse like this needs to stop, and our societal mindset of 'manliness' and 'manning up' doesn't help.

2% feminist BISHES say other wise.
