Do they help abused men move? Or are they just sexist pigs?

I’m just saying . . .

There are battered men, but only a small percentage of DV victims in male-female relationships are the males.

They also fail to report far more often than women, becoming their own worst enemies. It’s a guy thing.

The disparity of force issues are also at issue making domestic battering a much less serious problem for men.

The most recent CDC data show that 55% of women slaughtered every year in the US are killed by intimate partners.

Nobody should argue against helping a battered husband. But, this horrific problem affects far more women and it’s getting worse.

Bless that moving company. A woman trying to flee an abuser is seven times more likely to be killed than any other time in the relationship.

I remember Rush’s reading of a meta-study that found that men are abused by women equally as vice versa—at all levels of violence.

Who has started any shelters for abused men? Anybody?

They probably don’t help men move, so the field is wide open for someone to step forward and start the business. Beuhler, Beuhler.

I'm all in favor of offering male abuse victims the same services as their female counterparts, but nobody is going to take abused men seriously until men start taking it seriously instead of treating it as some kind of joke.

In the meantime, why should help be denied to the abused women who really need it?
