Thread for violence against men [View all]

I am starting this thread as a place to post incidences of violence against men or general willful neglect. I was starting individual threads, but realized it is far too common to do it that way, so this is to put them all together.

Why is this an appropriate topic for the men's Group? Because I think it needs to be hammered home that men suffer (as well as gain) from the consideration of them as the "default". With men as the default, it means that violence is only viewed from the POV of a "gender discussion" if it is a woman.

But the men killed or brutalized are victimized as a result of their gender. For example, in this video, no one could reasonably argue that the homeless man is any more of a physical threat than an average sized woman -and yet, his "dangerousness" is used as an excuse for his execution.

What do you all think? Is this a "Men's Issue"?
