moved into the barracks and filed for divorce, it was the safest thing for my carear. In our culture a man hitting a woman is rightfully seen as abuse but the opposite is rarely true. Most men that I know were taught to never hit a woman. Many attacks on men by women aren’t forcefull enough to damage anything more than the psychy of the male. I was in an extremely masculine world. What 24y/o would admit that his 100pnd wife hit him, especially to his Marine Corps friends? Even though my close friends knew how bad her temper was they didn’t even know how bad she really was.
I have also seen cases of physical abuse in patients. 1 stabbing and one assault with a baseball bat. Both these guys admitted it was their significant others but made me promise not to tell anyone else. I guess if I see this amount in my microcosm of this world there is alot more out there.
What I don’t understand are the men who are abused and don’t leave. If she is willing to hit you, she is willing to do anything. I think it is becoming more commonplace as women see violence as an end to a means.
Most of the abuse cases I see are older people with dementia. They aren’t good at hiding it.
The days of the poor defenseless woman are over. They are brawlers now.
