The perpetrators of violence across the planet, against both men and women, are overwhelmingly men.

An OP bemoaning the poor downtrodden male, so set upon and so neglected:

But you despite being the primary victims of violence you will never see an international effort to reduce violence against males.

is nothing but absurd trollery, (and awful proof checking,) the sort that makes this group an embarrassment.

Oh wait, "we have met the enemy and he is us".

Since you only come in here to criticize, I have to ask.- Bonobo Nov 2012 #20

Yes sure, men can and should discuss real issues that affect men Warren Stupidity Nov 2012 #22

How is that relevant? lumberjack_jeff Nov 2012 #5

i decided to come back to these threads to answer your questions La Lioness Priyanka Nov 2012 #9

Man on man violence is clearly seen through a gendered lens. lumberjack_jeff Nov 2012 #13

My father was abused by his wife. Bonobo Nov 2012 #21

actually i have seen a rising support for battered men La Lioness Priyanka Dec 2012 #75

I don't know but I would guess that more women are battered by men. Bonobo Dec 2012 #77

Undeniably, more women are injured by physically violent men than the reverse. n/t lumberjack_jeff Dec 2012 #78

I think you have us confused with someone else Major Nikon Nov 2012 #53

yeah, because it's within gender violence La Lioness Priyanka Nov 2012 #8

In a heterosexual relationship, IPV is more likely to be initiated by the woman. lumberjack_jeff Nov 2012 #30

I suppose men could always invent a conspiracy theory Major Nikon Nov 2012 #54

How about we just try to eliminate violence, period? Warren DeMontague Nov 2012 #12

And which gender would have to change the most for that to happen? Warren Stupidity Nov 2012 #15

Then we're taking the wrong approach lumberjack_jeff Nov 2012 #17

violent people would have to change the most. as in, people who are violent. Warren DeMontague Nov 2012 #19

So you seriously reject the existence of male culture of violence? Warren Stupidity Nov 2012 #23

I think he is saying, rightly, that violent people are violent whether men or women. Bonobo Nov 2012 #25

"There are violent men and violent women. More men? Sure, you bet." Warren Stupidity Nov 2012 #26

"To you, the very mention of violence against men is a ludicrous embarrassment" Warren Stupidity Nov 2012 #34

How was he pampered coddled and cajoled? Warren DeMontague Nov 2012 #36

On the internet I'm indifferent to people. Points of argument, I can either like or dislike. lumberjack_jeff Nov 2012 #37

If that's true Major Nikon Nov 2012 #42

No Warren DeMontague Nov 2012 #32

To do that you have to admit that there is a male culture of violence Warren Stupidity Nov 2012 #33

That is a certainly an authoritative sounding statement, I will grant you that. Warren DeMontague Nov 2012 #35

Do you know that that stat correlates to the proportion of young males in the population? Warren Stupidity Nov 2012 #38

Which is one of the many things one can do with statistics. Warren DeMontague Nov 2012 #39

I think you have a huge blind spot here. Warren Stupidity Nov 2012 #40

I think you have a very poor understanding of cause and effect Major Nikon Nov 2012 #45

For the sake of argument, let's accept for a moment that what you say is true. lumberjack_jeff Nov 2012 #47
