That's exactly what it means if it's a hundred times harder. That's the very definition of oppression when something is so much harder to achieve than it is for most people. In this case the ability to be safe. You in fact have less of a choice. And keep in mind all circumstances aren't equal some people don't have the support system or means to get out.
So all men are the same size and can easily over power a woman safely in manner he won't be on the hook for abuse. Shit as a man my first instinct is to get the fuck out of there run for my life in an altercation with a woman. The harsh reality is in those situations all a woman has to do is cry and the man is guilty no trial.
Well running is smarter than staying there and letting her beat you year after year. If you run people may clown you for looking silly but why would you care if it safely removes you from the threat of danger or jail? The only difference I see is that if you run you shouldn't go back to her. If you handle the situation without running maybe you two can work it out from there, but that decision is on you. Either way is better than letting her beat your ass. Most of this should be common sense tho.
So now you are going back to repeating the same old questions. *Yawn* When you are not projecting you are deflecting. Stay on topic or bump/start a thread about women being abused. You already know I don't see that way of thinking as being worthy of being entertained.
Simple question. Also abuse is abuse. U are upset that it considered abuse if a woman hits a man. If a man hits a woman its abuse so why cant it be fir a woman U also inserted the civil war so u set yoyrself up for that. So since u brought it up lets roll with it.
What about my post that said the police should intervene when there is a legitimate concern? You need gingko or something?
U guys are inferring that a person is letting an abuser abuse them and they should leave. So i gave u a scenerio that happens all the time.
When your wife or husband decides to hit you is NOT under your control. To continue to live under the same roof with a spouse who beats you IS under your control. Women leave abusive men everyday, let's not act like it doesn't happen. Most women go into marriage with a job and at least their family and a couple of GFs who can help facilitate a move if it's that critical to leave quickly. This thread went from silly, to comical to stupid in less than 10 pages.:smt062 Any man who feels he doesn't have the option to leave a physically abusive wife has deep psychological issues IMO.
You absolutely do not have less of a choice. Choosing the path with less conflict doesn't mean your other paths are removed. Our options remain even if we refuse to see/utilize them. This.All.Day
How logical and compassionate of you guys lol. Yeah everyone can just up and leave what a revolutionary idea you should write a book
lol seriously, I guess Jews chose to be annihilated by the Nazis and blacks chose to be enslaved by whites in mass because they all had the choice to resist and leave.
When have women murdered men by the millions? On the other hand men have attacked women by the millions. Rape to be specific. Talk about a post being weak. Lol
A very last post for me: 1) the arguments about "just leaving" etc are the premier myths about domestic abuse and part of the many reasons why people dont leave 2) it took me all but 1 minuter to pull up mutitude of links that discuss domestic abuse and studies about it AND prevalence of domestic abuse against men Its so easy to be flippant about it, but so easy to educate oneself, it takes a few clicks Its sad that y'all have this prevalent missguided view but im glad in a way, and may You never find out for real
Why would just leaving be considered a myth? My parents had a lot of arguments. They fought a lot. Threats were made. My mother decided to leave because she couldn't live this way. She took my younger brother with her. Me and my sister stayed until we finished school. My mother was very glad that she had left. So, it's not a mythical solution. It is a conscious decision. That is how I learned about marriage and relationships.
Did someone just compare domestic violence to the Holocaust and slavery??:smt119 Leaving an abusive spouse isn't the same as defeating the most devastating war machine of the 20th century. Deciding not to stay with an abusive spouse isn't the same as a slave, i.e., HUMAN PROPERTY, getting up and walking off the plantation because they decided to quit picking cotton. No one is the property of their spouse, and it seems odd to me that those who have the least respect for the institution of marriage somehow feel it's this impenetrable fortress that's nearly impossible to leave.
