Football player Ray Rices video-captured February attack on his then-fiancée has once again brought domestic violence into the publics consciousness.
Or has it?
Critics would say that while it has placed a spotlight on violence against women, that isnt at all synonymous with domestic violence.
Because studies show that most domestic violence may actually be violence against men.
This has just been brought to light by Guardian columnist Glen Poole, who recently asked why British actress Kelly Brook has got away with punching two men? Complaining that there is little room for the female perpetrator or the male victim in mainstream modern discourse around violence and [sex], he goes on to point out:

Men understand, from an early age, that women can physically assault them, and they have to accept it, or else.
I know from experience that abused men can get justice. They just have to try, and their male friends need to support them rather than laugh at them.
As you didn't dispute what I said about the bias faced by men in the judicial system, I'll conclude you agree with that.
And if you wouldnt teach a child to poke another child in the eyes as self-defense, you shouldnt be teaching groin attacks either. They occupy the same level of seriousness, and you dont teach little kids how to seriously hurt other little kids.
Unfortunately, the girls who like to kick boys in the nuts because they enjoy hurting them, and the school systems that allow it, don't care what you or I think. That's why it's up to fathers to prepare their sons for this, and defend their sons when it happens. Instead, what happens? If the boys fights back, his father is mad because he struck a girl. If he doesn't fight back and gets kicked in the nuts, his father is infuriated because he got beat up by a girl.
And then men have the nerve to ridicule female logic.
As for school systems, well, yes, theyre hotbeds of anti-male bias and hatred.
So why aren't fathers defending their sons??
Now, about your last comment: I said, You dont think you could defend yourself against the average woman? I would hope you could. If not, I feel sorry for you. Well, if you were handicapped, then Id have a really good reason to feel sorry for you, wouldnt I!
I don't think the disabled want your pity. You might as well save it for the takers, who don't deserve it but want you to feel sorry for them anyway.
Relax, Twelve, the comment relating to what I’d feel if you were handicapped was a joke.
And, yes, as I said, I agreed with your comment completely. We’re on the same page, so you needn’t take an adversarial stance.
The problem is that all of Western men have become hen-pecked. There was a time when patriarchy controlled behavior — that of boys AND girls. Now civilization is coming apart at the seams.
The good news, if you want to call it that, is that this won’t last long. We’re heading for a serious collapse that will cause a substantial reordering of society. Don’t get me wrong, things won’t necessarily be better, but they will be different, one way or another.
As for the groin attacks, an even larger problem is that they have been essentially rubber-stamped by entertainment. When I was a kid, you never saw groin shots on TV. Now they’re everywhere — America’s Funniest Home Videos, movies, shows — almost always portrayed as a joke. Well, given this, it’s no surprise that kids think it’s a joke. Do you know that there’s a game called “Roshambo” that kids play, where two boys take turns kicking each other you know where until one gives up? That originated with South Park (another thing we can thank the degenerate liberals for). Boys will also play “sack tap” with each other. Such a case, where injury resulted, was featured on an episode of Judge Judy.
Anyway, the point is that if boys engage in this behavior and treat it as a joke, it’s not surprising that girls are doing the same. But the real blame lies with the older fools who, only caring about money, put this stuff on TV in the first place. And it also lies with everyone who has tolerated it.
Of course, I’m also convinced that this is part of the wider effort at emasculating the Western male.
Sorry I didn’t get your humor, and my adversarial stance is with the apathy of men, not with you.
You have all the fun.
