10 Shocking domestic violence statistics for 2011

[formystudies]

Please don't beat each other up in front of your kids. Don't even think about hurting each other at all. You think they don't understand, but in fact they'll remember what you've done for the rest of their lives. You have no idea how much it hurts.

[formystudies]

I've witnessed domestic violence since I was very little. I spent my whole life believing that I was worthless and my parents would be better off if I haven't been born. I thought if I wasn't there, they could divorce without having the responsibility to raise me as a single parent. Well, I haven't killed myself yet because I thought about how I'd break my mom's heart if I did that. I did had emotional issues growing up. The impact is very real, it's affected my whole life.

[wetone1962]

Feminist propaganda, woman also abuse, my wife abused me. She kicked me slapped me punched me and even stabbed me in my crotch with a pencil. She clamed I was che3ating on her but she was the one cheating on me. I was also abruptly woken in the middle of the night with a pair of scissors to my member; she threatened to cut it of if I ever cheated on her. 45 present of woman are the instigators of DV, men are only 22 present. So you tell me when is the violence going to stop?

[psychonesssss]

I'm doing a project on domestic violence next year and I need ideas for what I can do to either help the cause to stop it or aid the victims. Does anyone have any ideas?

[RiceNHall]

PEOPLE are abused every day: children, women, & men. Yes, women may initiate the physical abuse more often than men but it's also after they've been verbally, emotionally & mentally abused for a long time. How often can you hear how terrible you are before you start to break & lash out? But, women actually abusing men (in all ways) is on the rise. More men are abused now than 10 years ago. Instead of hating one gender or the other, let's just try to solve the problem.

[nerdwonder]

DV serves as a shining example of the harm feminist ideology causes. Feminist propaganda about dv has affected societies outlook so much that their are virtually no shelters for men.Lots of studies say its 50/50 gender split as victims yet feminists try to justify this complete lack of service by claiming more female victims.Even if that was true, when compared to an issue like homelessness where men are the majority, women revive service as well. Just shows humanist approach works better.

[blackman6270]

You missed a few stats:

-70% of domestic violence is done by women

-80% of the domestic violence is done by women are single mothers

So to fix a big chunk of the problems mentioned in the video we should get rid of the "strong independent woman". She is clearly toxic for her own children.

[Windyshoot]

@blackman6270 [huge citations needed on this]

[Wolfbloodvamps171]

@blackman6270 Where do you get your stats from? Most domestic violence is committed by men. Women are murdered either by their husband or boyfriend. 1 out of 6 women have been raped and usually it is by someone they know. And intimate partner violence is the leading cause of injury to women 1-3 billion a year.

[blackman6270]

@Wolfbloodvamps171 I see you're still going with the old feminist bullshit stats. Why dont you google for the real stats and I'll bet you'll find:

-70% of DV instigated by women in wich they use weapons or poison far more often

-The claim that 1 in 6 women have been raped cant be true cuz the crime rate up would rise significantly. The method of research has been deeded to be unreliable, since women who had sex without really feeling like it were added in the rape category.

[esotericemily]

@blackman6270 "The claim that 1 in 6 women have been raped cant be true cuz the crime rate up would rise significantly" Wow, that's so insightful, considering the fact that most rapes go unreported. I suggest you tone down your disrespectful approach; obviously you're threatened by feminists, and it isn't attractive.

[blackman6270]

@Wolfbloodvamps171 Oh and I almost forgot, you'll find that 80% of all rapists and 85% of all juvinele delinquents come from single mother homes. Also, the only reason why men's leading cause of injury isnt DV is because of the fact that they are pressed into the military and women choose jobs that are much safer. So not only are feminists clearly trying to press a false image of men, they're trying to hide the truth about women.

[blackman6270]

@Wolfbloodvamps171 Sorry for spamming a bit, but I just realised something.

How can 1-3 billion women be injured by intimate partner violence (IPV) while there arent even 3 billion mature women, let alone 3 billion mature dating/married women?

And since domestic violence is instigated more than twice as much by women, does that mean that about 7 billion men are injured by IPV every year?

False stats or sudden burst in populationgrowth that went unnoticed?

[HairH2O]

@desklight71 They are telling the truth. I know of women who push men to beat them. Some women actually like like it for some wierd reason. I know of men who were violently abused by women.

[THCEnlightensMe]

The main problem with people who dispute is that they become brick walls. You can tell the other side anything you want but they won't listen because in their ignorant belligerent eyes they are the only ones who are correct. True knowledge is knowing that you know nothing. Listen to all side and come to an agreement. Notice that as the clock turns this world get worse and worse. People are becoming more ignorant, more violent, more hateful... Change? O times are changing, but not for the better.

[fixt100]

completely biassed women good men bad bs.....

[NautyKnight]

Sexist for blaming men of DV and painting women as the only victims of it. Men are just as much victims of DV than women are. And what's worse is these men have no shelters to go to or government funding programs to help them deal with the abuse. All of that is reserved for women and children. Our culture is vilifying men to the place that men are going to be the next ones to face a Holocaust in our society and that's truly disgusting!

[prplfusion]

@NautyKnight For years I see post by these people posting on abuse for women videos trying to balance that men get abused too. Go make videos of men abused then! When the subject is abuse of women there is no need for these low class thinkers to post trash! The same guys all over the tube posting trash! Go make poor men abused videos then of STFU!

[NautyKnight]

@prplfusion - If feminists are going to claim they are about "equality" then they best start acting like it. You don't achieve equality by creating an "us against them" ideology. Everyone's issues need to be treated the same and with fairness. When feminists only concern themselves with male violence against females they are only addressing 25% of the overall problem. There is also female against female violence (25%), female against male violence (25%), and male against male violence (25%).

[julieraeeager]

@NautyKnight You are not well informed. while there are men who are victims of dv...95% of violent crimes in families are perpetrated by men. Most violent crime against men is committed by men.

[NautyKnight]

@julieraeeager - No, you're not well informed. Harvard University and numerous other studies conducted have shown that domestic violence is perpetrated more often by women. Harvard studies show that 70% of DV is initiated by a woman. The 95% you seem to be talking about is REPORTED DV. If men don't report it then that doesn't mean that it's not happening. The DOJ statistics are flawed. Just think of all the times you see females hit males. Slaps, kicks & knees to the balls, scratching, etc.

[outofsyncaddiction]

@NautyKnight Actually, the highest statistic I could find for men being abused was 30% of cases. Most were much lower, the lowest being 5%. So from studies,there are many more female victims.That's just a fact. True,government funding goes to protecting women- I don't think that's disgusting, just very one sided. Why don't you start a shelter for male abuse victims? I would sign a petition for you. And I very much disagree with the last- unborn, aborted children are right now

[outofsyncaddiction]

@outofsyncaddiction ... the ones facing a very real Holocaust in our society. Those are the ones who are murdered every day. The absolutely unarguably most innocent people in our society, who our government does not protect AT ALL. That's something I consider truly disgusting. Make a change yourself. Petition for funding of your male shelter and by golly I'll sign it.

[NautyKnight]

@outofsyncaddiction - Look up the Harvard University study that found that 70% of DV was committed by women. You have access to Google. Look it up. The study is there and it's been found to be accurate among other studies into DV. Feminists obviously don't want the truth to be well known about. It's only men that our society wants to label as bad and women as good. It's sexist discrimination!

[outofsyncaddiction]

@ NautyKnight I mentioned that i did look it up.And I think the real number, must then be somewhere between the two, if we've both found those different numbers. I'm not a feminist.I'm just trying to be rational.No one tries to label men.All it sounds like you are trying to do is label women as bad, which is hippocritical.There's no huge scandal behind trying to help abuse victims,just kindness.Note that speaking POLITELY to the public would get you further in "spreading the word".

[esotericemily]

@NautyKnight I think you're being over the top and rather sexist yourself. "...men are going to be the next ones to face a holocaust in our society" Really? That's rather self-deprecating; and you're accusing the female gender of imprisoning their male counterparts.

[NautyKnight]

@esotericemily - Well, feminists HAVE threatened males with a gendercide approach several times ever since Valerie Solanas wrote the S.C.U.M manifesto back in the 60s and shot 2 men. You say most rape goes unreported... But how true is that when you don't really know? It seems to me that most rape charges are false. A lot of young women will claim rape to protect their image of being a "good girl" so they won't be considered a slut by their parents and peers. They'd rather ruin a man instead.

[esotericemily]

@NautyKnight So you're backing this widely based view off of an incident that occurred in the 60's that did not, in the end, generate any significant movement? You're not supporting your argument when you say "you don't really know" most rapes go unreported because YOU don't really know EITHER. You're just spouting a bunch of stereotypical chauvinistic arguments. You again just falsely accused women of rather ruining a man than being considered a slut. You're losing validity here, fast.

[NautyKnight]

@esotericemily - So we're supposed to just accept the word of feminists that most rape goes unreported? But if it's unreported then how do they know?! That's just insanely ignorant logic! Sorry but I don't put much faith in what feminists have to say - EVER! Just a bunch of whiny ass insecure women with severe victimization syndrome making up ghost stories that leads to discrimination and draconian laws and restrictions against men based on flawed and unproven statistics from feminists.

[esotericemily]

@NautyKnight That's funny you say its "insanely ignorant logic," because you're the one who used it in the first place, I was only commenting on it. I think your response here has just given me enough satisfaction to know your opinion doesn't matter because its saturated with bias. I'd like to say it was interesting having this exchange with you, but your sexist, narrow mind is rather tiresome and hasn't been enlightening. cheers ;)

[NautyKnight]

@esotericemily - Just more shaming tactics and name calling from you. Typical hypocrite feminist bullshit as usual! Yawn! Yeah, I'm done with your arrogant self-righteous ass as well!

[esotericemily]

@NautyKnightYou and I have some deep resentment against societal gender differences going on that has less to do with this online exchange of words between us, and more to do with our personal experience.Being strangers and all, I was surprised to see the volatile exchanges between us.But Isn't that what free speech is all about? I see it as a celebration of free flow of thought, be it wrong or right.Best wishes to you and I hope you always allow yourself to be open to different thought,as do i.

[BardosBoy]

@NautyKnight I am a male therapist who has treated domestic violence for 18 years now. Women do abuse, too. I have treated female perpetrators, too. And there is no excuse for abuse regardless of gender. However, it is nowhere even near close the same rate that men do. Statistically this is not a gender equal issue.

[NautyKnight]

@BardosBoy - Bullshit! Women abuse children more than men do at a higher rate. It's even listed on the CDC's website. And I believe women actually hit and assault males a lot more than men hit women. It's just that nobody reports women that hit men. It's not seen the same but that's social engineering at it's worst. We've all seen women hit men. Slaps and kicks to the balls happen ALL the fucking time. It's just men are expected to take it and people always assume he had it coming to him!

[BardosBoy]

@NautyKnight We weren't talking about child abuse but domestic violence. And no, it's not BS. You can believe as you will but I daily deal with the facts and realities of actually doing something about this very real problem. I help men, women and children. Bottom line is obviously whether or not we agree on where the numbers/stats are, we both are clearly passionately pissed off and totally against violence and abuse—on that we agree and can stand up against any form of violence/abuse to anyone

[NautyKnight]

@BardosBoy - Child abuse IS domestic violence moron! And giving women a pass on equal punishment for domestic violence because you believe that men violate women more is NOT gender equality at all. Men are the largest demographic to suffer from violence. 10x more than women. Yet we only concern ourselves with violence against women and that's not equality or fair to men who are violated by women or other men. Violence is a humanity issue - not a woman's issue!

[thunderwithlightning]

This is a totally excellent film. Good work!

[jmnatty2004]

Its not always the man who is mad...

[argent2020]

Part 1. I remember when I was six years old my Dad gave my Mom 300 pesos to pay for the school picture. My Mom then, had the brilliant idea of giving me the Money to pay for the picture when the photographer get there. Well, with that money I purchased sandwiches, cookies not only for me but for the other first graders in my class as well, leaving me with only 50 pesos. When the pictures arrived, parents did as well, except my Mom, so I couldn't get the picture,

[argent2020]

Part 2. The photographer was still there when the class was over and my Mom showed up asking me for the picture. Without knowing what to say, I showed my Mom the only coin of 50 pesos I had left which she took from me in a heart beat. During the 5 short blocks from school to home, in that entire walk my Mom didn't speak a word to me; And yes!, I figured in my mind she was angry at me & I was in trouble big time.

[argent2020]

Part 3. Mom opened the door, pushed me from behind, grabbed me by the hairs as a basketball player would the basket ball. One big slap in the face, grabbed a belt & chased me with it all over the house. My Sister, a teen at the time who was cooking didn't have a clue of what was going on. Once I was corner in the bedroom, my Mom made me undress while hitting me with that bell. I remember my Sis telling my Mom to stop; "That's enough!". When through, my Mom sent me to bed.

[argent2020]

Part 4. A few hours later my Dad came home from work with a gift for me (almost everyday he would bring me a toy). When he saw me all beat up & after I told him what happened, my Dad became furious, not at me, but at my Mom. Oh boy!, he gave my Mom a throughout beat with fist and all. I was picking from the bedroom & in deed; I enjoyed the spectacle because my Dad did me justice and since that day, my Dad became my hero. The next day he went to my school & bought the picture.

[prplfusion]

@argent2020 Hope you got professional help for such a traumatic childhood!!

[eveliofazewife]

poignant & true!

[ultasound100]

this video isnt about placing blame on men or women who commit violent acts, its about bringing awareness of the damage domestic violence has on children and how it will effect children right through into adulthood. this video is about protecting our children please keep that in mind before posting comments. this is about THEM not YOU.

[NoMorThanMost]

@ultasound100

It's not about helping children when it paints a false picture of children dealing with DV. AND this video does give the impression that men are the ones doing the violence. It also excludes the FACT that almost all DV towed child ARE committed by women. By do so this video makes it worse for children dealing with DV not better. It makes people look for men abusing children and leaves women, who abuse the most, to continue unquestioned. HOW DOES THAT HELP CHILDREN?

[prplfusion]

@NoMorThanMost Rubbish!!! Propaganda by twisted males thinking!!!

[NoMorThanMost]

@prplfusion

Maybe you should ACTUALLY study the subject before dismissing FACTS. Do you have a degree in psychology? I didn't think! I DO! In fact I almost have two degrees; one in psychology and I’m almost done with my BS for computer programming. If you don't know what you’re talking about and you're only going to make the problem worse, in my professional opinion... shut-up. You have no excuse to not have a better understanding of children dealing w/DV. The info IS out there.

[MLJ1219]

#3 moms. Daly & Wison of Canada, 1987 reported 57-61% of reported child murders by moms. Both of those stats trumph the 63% of boys who kill or killing their fathers who were abusing their moms. BTW, how many boys have killed moms for abusing dads or being abused themselves? Thanks again to all the women who are as fair & objective as this video. There is a difference in highlighting (one side) a problem & citing propaganda for the sake of knee jerk reaction & to promote misandric hatred.

[TheHappilyInsane]

Video's like this are abuse in themselves. They play this kind of thing at schools. Telling boys this is what they are and or going to become in the future.

On top of that they drug them to make them submissive to the feminist propaganda.

[philliesphanatic12]

A woman's chance of being abused isn't based on her home, it's based on the guy she's involved with

[Sing4MeChellie]

@philliesphanatic12 I see where you would come off thinking that but Im doing a senior project on it, but the one thing I have learned is that anyone can come off as innocent but they could essentially be abusive, regardless of if its physical mental or emotional. It can be based off the home, to just want someone for comfort, therefor once you realize your significant other is actually quite a threat, your too sucked in by all the good from before, to leave because of the bad.

[philliesphanatic12]

@Sing4MeChellie Ok, thanks for the clarity.

@bbkoda2011 Pls never take away from the seriousness of dom violence against men or the threat of false dom violence or false rape charges against men. You have two sons if they were falsely accused would you defend them because you raised them to know better or would you say, "oh well, statistically & based on my own experience they must be guilty? After all women never lie. I would like to tell you about all the times I was attacked by ex girlfriends & wives if you have a few days to kill.

[bbkoda2011]

@MLJ1219 I would like to ask what you are replying to my email is bbkoda2011 and has been for a long time I never commented against this video nor you if you are the admin please remove my email it will not let me and I did not comment my email has been hacked what else is knew and I wonder why my email would be used on a forum like this very interesting thanks U know who you are building up a case again I guess ya just got caught

[MLJ1219]

@bbkoda2011 "U know who you are building a case against I guess ya just got caught." Who & what are you referring to? I replied to comments made by bbkoda2011 and I have no way of knowing who that is or if email has been hacked or not. The comments left by person known as bbkoda2011 have been removed but the internet signature remains. I also replied to, thewomanhoodcause if you look below. I don't know if she exists or if her email has been hacked either. What is the point of your reply to me?

[bbkoda2011]

@MLJ1219 the comment was not for you it was for the person who hacked my email and was using it as if they were me and posting comments all over the internet and using it for other things I was asking who ever has control over this sight to remove my email from showing up it wont let me I know who hacked my email and when I made my remark it was for them I am sorry for the confusion I just want my email removed from showing up thats al TY

[bbkoda2011]

@MLJ1219 I did not make this comment or any on this page I am trying to find out who is in control of it to remove all comments my hacker as put I am now back in control I thought of my account so please can all comments be removed ty

[MLJ1219]

@bbkoda2011 #1 Should I be silent because I am a man? The UN also reported that 250,000 women in 65 countries incl. US reported rape to the police. Feminists say a woman is raped every 90 seconds in US alone which amounts to 350,000. Who's lying & why? According to this video 40 million children grow up with debilitating memories of abuse but the video chooses to show a man with fist drawn ready to hit a woman with her hair being pulled. I'm glad they took the high road of honesty on this video.

[thewomanhoodcause]

Wow! once again this is very interesting. I would like to start seeing research done to let us know where violence comes from in the first place? There are so many movies, books, and video games with major human violence. There are so many parent's who don't know how to discipline their children without hitting or spanking. We see studies and videos about the effects of domestic violence, but don't see helps to stop it.

[MLJ1219]

#2 The biggest predictor of girls becoming victims of dom violence late in life is whether they grew up in a home where there is dom violence. Would that be a home of male on female or female on male violence? Recent studies have said that dom violence is almost equal bewteen genders. Steinmetz, who was a researcher in the 70's & 80's stated, "The most unreported cime is not wife beating it is husband beating." Statistical Abstract of US, 1987 stated 57-61% of reported child abuse peretrated by

[MLJ1219]

@thewomanhoodcause You ask a lot of good questions but you won't like the answers. NOW & feminists don't want to stop the "cash cow" that is domestic violence. A lot of women make a lot of money running domestic abuse shelters across the country. It also benefits men like judges & lawyers who pay their country club dues & Jaguar payments off the backs of men tied to the whole, "Men are violent, women are angels" multi-billion $ industry. Think about it. There are no funded men's shelters.

[TheAnnafisher]

walk the talk pnises .. women wombs and children FIRST

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@TheAnnafisher domestic violence is equal between genders, with women being slightly more likely to commit the violence, and men slightly more likely to do more damage.

Men doing more damage has nothing to do with their mind, and more to do with anatomy, men are stronger on average.

If you want, I could point you in the direction of some resources, though it's likely that you'll just flip into some rhetoric spewing rage... I hope not...

[NoMorThanMost]

@EddygPS3

“These institution[s]” are more that capable of making their point without the false advertizing or bias. You are correct in saying that this video is not “[accusing] normal and real men”. But it does portray the myth of “only men abuse”. Your “90%” statement just shows how easy it is to fool others with false advertizing. But hey… it’s easy to fool anyone who doesn’t question the first thing they hear. TheJay9002 said it best… “Try thinking more and talking less.”

[NoMorThanMost]

@EddygPS3

thrimironaxe was pointing out that this video is only showing men committing violence or only showing men behind bar. It then goes on by showing only women and children suffering. It doesn’t come right out and say it but it highly suggests to the average viewer “men are abuses” “women and children are victims”. It is false advertizing, way off from what actual studies have shown for more than 15 years now and… IT IS sexist.

[NoMorThanMost]

@EddygPS3

Don't just read some charity or political organization’s clam off their website without checking their sources first. Women are also more likely to report DV vs. men and are less likely to get convicted. If convicted women are more likely to receive a lesser sentence, even if she kills him.

[NoMorThanMost]

@EddygPS3

“90%”??? Where are you getting your facts? Most studies that check for abuse by either sex find women do half or more than half of the abuse committed. Women also make up the vast majority of child abuse. If you think I'm making that up, go read some real studies.

[eightballbank]

thanks for posting i am a advocate for domestic violence and self defense as well! please see my channel! be safe, stay strong! you can FIGHT BACK and WIN! no matter the odds! keep climbing the mountain NEVER LOOK DOWN! before long you will make it to the top! you deserve only the best treatment! gold class treatment.

[TheJay9002]

@EddygPS3 you are throwing around personal opinion like its fact son. If I were to go back to the Victorian era, it would have been commonly accepted that "90%" of poor women who were raped were probably prostitutes or making it up. It is these "everybody knows that...." style attitudes that are a part of the problem. You seriously just plain fucking cannot see how social stigma may be preventing domestically abused men from coming forward??? Try thinking more and talking less.

[Sanjeevdevs]

Who is the Culprit for Domestic Violence,

Men

Women

Both

or Local Chyang/ Alcohol?

WHO!!>>>>>>???

[thrimironaxe]

Unicef is an endless fountain of lies and man-hate. Victims of domestic violence can be men or women, and perpetrators can be men or women. Enough tax money for institutions that spread hate, misinformation, and sexism.

[txbluebonnet]

Recently attended a child custody inservice where Dr. Hanna also talked about child trauma. Staggering are the statistics that you presented here.

[J27Delight]

These numbers are low

[kickingback77]

Thanks for sharing this info, had no idea about boys killing men that abuse their mother. It makes sense though!!
