My SIL spent her life beating up insecure men and knows the ones that won't defend themselvves: Her last boyfriend spent the night cuddling his teenage son in a pool of blood because she cracked a wine bottle over his head. The type of women that get physically violent know the types of men who will put up with it: jdubius Isee you've met my abusive mother: That 5'0 woman loves fighting men. Ive never seen her fight a woman: LoveofGayContent
My brother was a victim, who was stabbed, burnt and beaten multiple times: When the cops turned up, he was taken away; despite her having minimal injuries. A lot of the time the abuse is also emotional: Often so bad you just can't fight back: They break your spirit and your body: No_Entrance2597 The Duluth Model: in any DV situation, the man's assumed to be the aggressor by default: Aman calls the police when his wife hits him? He gets the steel bracelets: spartan 17warrior

knew this one dude, a big 6'3 guy: He used to sleep in his laundry room with the cot blocking the door from his wife, so he could feel safe and get some shut eye before work It's enough to break a man. luckystrike_bh Many states require the man to be arrested if a call is made to the police: Delli-paper Even if there is no evidence whatsoever; as long as she claims he hit her; the man is going to jail. This is literally how police are trained: Strazdas1
1 always try to de-escalate because know that /Il always be seen as the aggressor: No-Understanding6141 There are no support groups for men in violent situations, virtually no battered men's homes or shelters; because that would be sexist_ right? serene_ brutality My ex literally begged me to hit her: never did, but swatting her hand away from the stereo when she was trying to fight with me was enough for her to turn most of our mutual friends against me: WoodenJesus
Because many men are raised to believe that physical assault from women "doesn't count" Studies have shown that many men do not view hitting a partner out of anger to be 'abuse' if it's coming from a woman: Just Another_Scott Hitting a woman is the ultimate taboo. Plastic_Plantain_480 My ex hit me in the head multiple times while Iwas holding our newborn son; I shoved her back, she cried and said she's calling the police: Ive never been so fucking scared in my life: Cautious_Lychee_569
Men are raised to see it as pathetic and cruel: indicative of unimaginable immorality: Agentarius1 Ilet my ex get away with it because if hit back, she'd have ended up far worse.

Oh; and good luck in court as a male victim: Ratnix
've been with women who hit me_ Here's why never hit back, as a big athletic man: If T hit her with as much energy as she hit me, there's a good chance Id k*Il her; which isn't something want at all: 1 just really don't want to hurt her: Tve done plenty of boxing; and so the punches didn't really hurt it was the intention that hurt: To have someone you love hit you is devastating: If I didn't have kids; would have left years ago. But; if leave; lose seeing them everyday: TheWolfMeister

We know that when it comes to the realm of physical strength, men hold the power. And it is through such a lens that so much of the world cannot understand how a woman can abuse her male partner, or indeed, why such a man wouldn’t fight back. Well, for those of us who have spoken to such men, the answer is clear, that there is more than one type of ‘power dynamic’, and abusive women know how to use that to their advantage. So, to the men who were victims of abuse by a woman, why didn’t you fight back? #abusedmen #abusesurvivor
