    Sorry but this is exactly what really rubs my gears about this topic. Whenever there’s something like this or a man trying to post about his abuse there’s always someone, mostly women, who try to shut them up & argue about domestic abuse towards women. It’s as if that somehow excuses it, or makes it not as important when it it is being done to men.

    I also want to remind you that men are much less likely to actually report, or let alone even talk about domestic abuse done to them. A lot of domestic abuse done by women, such as slapping or various verbal abuse (insults, yelling, manipulation, gaslighting etc), are also often not even seen as abusive, but rather as the norm within our society. This causes statistics to be inherently flawed.

    Either way though… “Who does it the most” is not actually any sort of valid argument AGAINST proper & equal help line texts in a search engine, or equal laws, or equal societal norms & standards. You generally shouldn’t demand to be treated equal but then punch in the other direction whenever it suits you. That’s now how that works and just makes you look like a hypocrite.
