Male attitudes towards women exposed?

[chem1st]

The police ignore domestic violence against men too. I dare say they ignore violence to men, far more than they do women. And they ignore violence to young people even more so (young men are the most likely to be killed by violence, and the chance of it happening has doubled in the past 30 years, it has increased for all age groups of men in that time, whilst the likelihood of women been murdered has fallen for every single age group except females under 1 years old).

I think you'll find the ratio of male to female crime statistics do not say much for the male species. At a rough guess I'd say about 90/10

 

I have no doubt some women abuse their partners but if you flipped the problem on its head we'd have to paint all the prison walls pretty pink to accommodate the overly female violent majority.

 

A lot higher than you think according to this 2010 article, 60/40

On the face of it I have no issue with those statistics but my point was crime overall, not just domestic violence but all violence and crime.

Goes unreported, I think you'll find men don't say anything.

Either way It's a serious problem. But to brand men only as abusive is wrong, factually and morally.

Just go through the posts and add up the males who defend male violence towards women through mentioning women being violent to men. This is typical denial, and it is these who pervert the point of this issue one should be aware of. They cannot address the issue and introduce distractions to avoid the point.

 

If I ask a question to be given an answer to a different question, then it suggests they either do not know or wish to hide their real point of view.

 

That is why these people that pervert the issue should be brought to people's attention, as they have their own adgenda, which is highly questionable.

 

The numbers of males involved in various forms of violence towards women, children is almost on th escale of a disease outbreak. On the basis it is like a disease, should not the fact this infection exists be debated and admitted to by males. How many males would admit they even knew a male that abuses females or children?

 

The answer is none, why its all repressed, denied, and far to shameful, such is the extent of the disease.

Come off it. You clearly have an agenda against men, you can see that in the thread title. Others including myself have pointed out, that there is violence against both men and women (and children).

 

Domestic violence should be opposed full stop, domestic violence towards men, women and children is wrong.

I've never understood why men choose to beat up women.

 

However what also needs to be mentioned is the further hidden crime of violence of men by women. Its probably (yes no doubt down to the male ego) that this crime is even more hidden and unreported.

[neepsendlane]

I once went to help a young woman being beaten up by her partner, they both turned on me she was the most aggressive of the two.

Never again.

This is about domestic violence to WOMEN, is that hard to work out? It is such a popular and widely practiced behaviour. What is reported is regarded as the tip of the problem.

 

It suggests a significant percentage of males, around 1.5 million are reported with the unreported possibly reaching 10 million or more. Are these males lacking somewhat in communication skills?

 

It also suggests that a significant number of males have a problem, as the post suggests PHYSICAL violence, psychological could be added, and if so, should be taken seriously.

 

It suggests millions of males choose to be PHYSICALLY violent towards women. Maybe the male sex altogether has a problem, and should be addressed? Such shared attitudes might make women aware that physically violent males like their paedophile and porn loving brothers, have innate psychological problems. Millions of feral males appear to be a threat to women and children. Well what a surprise!!!

 

10 million is not that much if the same people are commiting an average of 30 offences.

That would make it 300k. Which is about 1% of the population. And that could be a gross over estimation I.e. never been reported.

 

So in other words at least 99% of males are non violent.

So, It's not a disease at all, the majority of men are non violent. Why don't we celebrate the fact and start a thread!

According to a study of 20 forces in England and Wales between April 2010 and August 2012, an average of 12.5 percent of "grade 1" incident 999 calls was categorized as domestic violence related.

 

The statistics, which were published by Labour to highlight International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, prompted demands for a strategy to tackle the crime in Britain.

 

According to the Crime Survey for England and Wales, an estimated 1.2 million British women experience domestic abuse a year.

 

Yvette Cooper, the shadow Home Secretary, said, "Domestic violence is a hidden emergency for over a million women in Britain every year who call out for urgent help but are not properly heard. “

 

Earlier in July, in a speech to women’s groups and criminal justice workers in London, Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer warned that nine in 10 rapes and other serious sexual assaults go unreported due to the victims’ distrust of the UK criminal justice system.

 

If the title is supposed to be a question and this the evidence then I think the answer is no.

The fact that domestic violence occurs does not expose some sort of generally held male view towards women, and to suggest that it does is extremely offensive to most men.

 

Domestic violence against men exists as well, it's almost completely unreported, but I wouldn't be so prejudiced as to suggest that the behaviour of a minority somehow exposes an underlying female attitude towards men.
