Advocates for men are calling for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to apologize for suggesting that men are more likely than women to commit domestic violence, especially when they're out of work for long periods of time.
But Reid's spokesman told FoxNews.com on Tuesday that the Nevada Democrat is not apologizing for arguing during Senate debate a day earlier that the $15 billion jobs bill he is sponsoring should be passed to help prevent an uptick in violence.
Marty Nemko, co-president of The National Organization for Men, described Reid's comments as "irresponsible," citing numerous studies that show women are just as likely or even more so to commit domestic violence against their male partners.
Nemko also noted that that the police reports women advocacy organizations use are misleading because "men are embarrassed to say their wives beat them over the head with a frying pan."

On Monday, the Nevada Democrat seized on a trend in the rise of domestic violence cases across the country that experts say can be linked partly to the recession that has left millions of Americans unemployed.
"I have met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand. Why? Men don't have jobs. Women don't have jobs either, but women aren't abusive -- most of the time. Men, when they're out of work, tend to become abusive. Our domestic crisis shelters in Nevada are jammed. It's the way it is all over the country."(continued)

**Guess they don’t need the male vote.**
Dems have Gurlyboys, and women that LOOK like men
“Women and children hit hardest” ping.
Doesn't that depend on who is swinging???
Or perhaps he will channel the gentler side of his stage personna.
Yes, he is an Idiot! Kind of like the old Football gambit... They (such believers) are all stupid and dangerous actually.
This strategy of Male bashing sure worked for Martha Coakley in Taxachusetts. Maybe Harry needs to golf more and spend time with his Family. Time for NV voters to put Harry out to pasture. Let him work on his memoirs, or take up a cushy Lobbying Job on K Street.
Harry is a Dem Dirt Bag. The GOP needs to note White Males is the second largest voting block. And this is despicable pandering to rabid Feminists who are sociopathic Man haters.
Harry must be projecting.
I wonder if Harry will abuse his spouse once he is unemployed?
Which proves the axiom: There is no fool like an old fool.
“...British study in 2000 that found that women are just as likely to initiate domestic violence.””
After 30 years in LE I can tell you that this is true.
However, cops, judges, and prosecutors are routinely brainwashed into believing that the male is the primary aggressor. Guess who almost always gets arrested which in turn skews the stats.
Reminds me of the Salsa Commercial where the cowboy says "GET A ROPE!"
(figuratively speaking alert)
Harry is an angry man. Maybe he is speaking from experience.
If this guy was in an insane asylum would he ever be eligible for release?
“Men, when they’re out of work, tend to become abusive” which is a veiled threat from Harry Reid , “Re-elect me to the Senate or I’ll beat my wife!” Sweet!
Just a fun fact to share and tell, Alice Cooper has been a Christian for a long time now, he professes Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and isn’t bashful about it.
I’m serious.
And he has one heck of a BBQ resturant. Ya, he is a regular beer drinking, golf playing kind of guy when he IS”T Alice Cooper. LOL
I always get a kick out of your homepage!
I guess maybe Reid is inferring that men should go to jail if they find themselves unemployed to prevent domestic violence?
Any male, or Christian, or Jew, or normal person who votes democrat has lost his mind.
