Expert: Women Abuse as Often as Men
Arutz Sheva ^ | 30/4/13 | Yoni Kempinsky

Posted on 04/29/2013 3:37:53 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

Domestic violence is not one-sided, Professor Murray Straus of the University of New Hampshire told Arutz Sheva on Monday.

Straus participated at the two-day conference entitled "Violence, Conflicts and Unity in Family Context: A Reappraisal of Therapeutic and Judicial Doctrines." The conference is being held at the Ariel University.

“The bottom line is that in domestic violence, about the same percentage of women assault their partners as men,” he said. “Women are more often injured, but that doesn’t change the fact that women attack as often as men.”

Prof. Straus admitted that he’s been censored in the past for saying that domestic violence is not one-sided, because “generally people refuse to believe it, despite a lot of scientific evidence showing that these are the facts. There are 230 studies, as of several months ago, and yet people refuse to believe it. Everyone is supposed to know that men do this - and they do it, but so do women.”

The solution to ending domestic violence, he said, is that “if we’re going to end violence against women, we have to take steps to end violence by women.”

A guy that the spousal unit knows is getting his everything handed to him in a divorce. He makes a little shy of 6 figures.

Nowadays he lives on scraps in his parent’s basement, drives a really old car, and is generally miserable. I think he has to essentially bankroll her for I have no idea how long.

I was never impressed with her in either the looks or brains department. I can’t figure for the life of me what he saw in an overweight dingbat like her.

Yawn. Scratch self. Stretch. Yawn again. Men are usually better at domestic violence than women. We mostly can hit harder. It's an upper body strength and bone structure thing.

And then you meet Woman Guilty of Severing Estranged Husband's Penis, Tossing It In Garbage Disposal. (She was upset that he told her he was divorcing her)

Jezebel’s days will end at a point in time, and everyone will have to straighten up. That includes the nations.

Mr. Redhead was abused by his first wife. He had been taught all his life not to hit women, so when she started whacking on him, he didn’t fight back. But he eventually did have the guts to leave. Even then, she came to his apartment while he was at work and sliced up all the clothes in the closet with a razor blade, and later threatened him and their daughter repeatedly with a loaded pistol.

But the woman can mess with the man’s head in ways he can’t even remember because it’s so messed up his brain can’t figure out how to store it (much less articulate it to the comprehension of others), leaving him with no polite/sensible way to cope therewith.

Strauss and Gelles and some woman named Steinmetz began the boom in domestic violence male bashing with their book Behind Closed Doors back in 1980. The data have been clear from the start--men and women initiate domestic violence equally, and while women seek medical help more often, they also use weapons more often. The cartoon of Blondie raising lumps on Dagwood's head with a frying pan is close to the truth all too often.

But Gelles and others totally sold out and essentially sucked down the feminazi ideology that even if women start it, its still men's fault. Strauss has had somewhat more integrity but as he says, has been censored and silenced by the whorehouse media.

This finding has been known by objective readers of the empirical data for 33 years now.

I worked at a battered women’s shelter in college, mostly working in the back doing receiving and stocking shelves, occasionally cooking, and I can definitely understand how women should be protected from overbearing, violent men. If anything, it made me appreciate my size and my upbringing to respect women.

There is, however, a sizable contingent of men who are abused, and it doesn’t even have to be physical. Mental and psychological abuse is quite popular among some men I know from AA, mostly because they were too emotionally weak to leave them and they used sex as a weapon. Men can be victims too.

How many stories of severed penises do we have to endure before someone acknowledges your point?

I never hear about targeted campaigns against partner abuse in same sex relationships. I’ve even known of women who gave up abusive relationships with men for lesbianism only to discover that women can hit them just as hard if not harder.

WomenDemocrats are really really good at playing the victim; especially when they instigate.....

Identity politics serve the interests of The Party. Cast everything as "the struggle".

Feminists' rhetoric for decades discussed "smashing the patriarchy". For some, it wasn't just "the glass ceiling", it was the institution of marriage altogether. We are seeing the results of their devilish handiwork. The new normal is children born out of wedlock (largely to women in their 20s).

You mean, other women can do that, too? It isn’t just a super power that my wife alone possesses?

—— She calmly, slowly, turned her head towards me, gave me a little smile and said “Yeah, life’s a bitch, then you marry one.” ——

I would have smiled and whispered to her, “ you don’t know who I am, but some day I will settle the score.”

Yes, I would. She sounds like the devil incarnate. I’ve heard similar stories.
