@alexpetrunak You don't sound like much of a nice guy yourself?

[cloconandaimees2k8]

The fears that face those who have been or are being abused are enough to keep the abused quiet and there. Abusers are very clever and very manipulative and have a tendency to go for the people who could be considered more vulnerable or they weak them down until they feel like the abusers are the only people who will ever love them. There are lots if psychological reasons why a person would stay with an abuser, we don't need to understand them as such just be understanding to the abused persons

[orasis]

He's right though... That supper looks pretty small...

If he doesn't train her who will?

[GDelva2003]

isn't 0 in 4 a good thing?

[littlebittyducky]

you don't look pretty anymore?

she's goregeous!

[3Nex]

this is the best commercial they could come up with?? women who dont deserve to be beaten up, shouldnt be beaten up. This one had it coming.

[ToiletEarth]

The more you hit me, the more i love you.

[ellenanol]

it scared the shit out of me

[iDislikeNames]

Jesus. if he beats you, leave him. i don't get the concept of "women's aid." it's very simple: if he's beating the shit out of you on a daily basis, he's probably not the guy for you. this isn't the 1500s. women can divorce and can survive on their own. this issue is being made more complicated than it has to be.

[RhiannonULlewelyn]

I don't mean this to be rude but as a genuine question.

Have you ever lived in a situation where domestic violence was an issue? Either you being the child or the adult? What is your nationality? White? Eductaion? Profession? What would his be? His income? Resources, threats and promisses? What about youyr own family history? Knowledge of what should be a healthy relationship? How long had the relationship been in existence for before he got violent?

[iDislikeNames]

lol

i'm sorry, but i'm not going to answer those questions. no offense. i just have difficulty understanding people who let others treat them that way when they have the opportunity to escape from the situation. it isn't a concentration camp, it's a home...and the door is always there.

[RhiannonULlewelyn]

Violence is dirty. It can break you from the inside long after the outside has healed. Its why it gets continued down generations so all they know is pain, all the know to give is pain.

[awaywiththefairies16]

God you are thick. It is far deeper than that. It's a psychological factor aswell, and all other complications.

[iDislikeNames]

i don't appreciate being called "thick". i think it's a pretty legitimite question asking why people who are abused voluntarily stay with their abusers. from an outsider's point of view, it seems pretty illogical. why complain about it when you can pack your bags and walk out the door? if you can't understand where i'm coming from, then you're the "thick" one.

[MiZTaCCen]

Because most of the time the women can't just get up and pack there bags. Most of the time and if you've ever been in a relationship with abuse or did any research on domestic violence. usually the guy will tel lher you leave i'll kill you. Look at the statistics of women who are dead by there boyfriends or husbands because they TRIED to leave.

[iDislikeNames]

why wouldn't they be able to leave? and if someone threatens to kill you, why don't you call the cops? it's not like women are children. as long as there's a door, leaving is an option. i'm not saying that they are to blame for the abuse, but why put up with it? what does "women's aid campaign" even mean? trying to help battered girlfriends leave their abusive relationships?

[awaywiththefairies16]

you've just cemented how THICK you are. So 1 dimensional, its nowhere near as simple as "oh he's hit me, i'll leave" alot of the abuse is psychological, and the abuser can threaten them if they leave etc..

[iDislikeNames]

you've just cemented what a PRICK you are. just because someone is asking an honest question on the subject or stating their point of view doesn't mean that you can scold them like a child. learn some social skills. i'm saying that if my boyfriend punches me in the face, i'm not exactly going to stay with him overnight... i understand that there's a psychological aspect to it. i just find it perplexing. do you have a problem with that?

[bobafooz]

You clearly don't understand abuse whatsoever, so don't talk about what you don't know.

[iDislikeNames]

i'm not talking as though i've experienced it. i just don't understand it. i suppose words can't explain why people allow themselves to become human punching bags. like i said before, i find it perplexing...and i'm not the only one.

[bobafooz]

That's okay, it's a pretty complicated issue, I'm not gonna lie. A lot of people (especially if they've seen abuse growing up) say that they would never stay in an abusive relationship...then find themselves in one just years later.

[stevienickslover]

its not just adults though!! children hardly let themselfs become punch bags . . . .

[luvguitars1]

•They fear their abusers will become more violent—perhaps fatal—stalking them if they leave.

•Friends and family may not support their decision to leave.

•They fear being a single parent with little money.

•There are periods of calm, nurturing and love between incidents of violence (see The Cycle of Abuse).

•They may be unaware of sources of advocacy and support.

•They may be unaware of shelters and other resources that offer safety and support.

[nograviti]

Im sorry I have to agree with Idislike names to a degree. I find domestic violence very hard to understand, you can always just walk away. Take me im black from a very poor single parent background, did I live up to the stereotypes, nope im a successful businessman in a loving 2.4 family. The reason, thru choice.. likewise abused women have a choice..

[iDislikeNames]

i don't know if i would blame a woman for not leaving...i don't understand it, but since i was never in the situation i guess i can't judge. it's just hard sometimes to be sympathetic towards them when you don't understand why they are voluntarily staying in a horrible situation. ah. there i go again...whatever. for those of you giving me a thumbs down, karma's a bitch, y'know? maybe some day i'll learn about domestic abuse the hard way ...

[PassionateTigress]

I found this video very realistic, heartwrenching, and inspirational. Domestic violence is a real issue that should be addressed more than what it is in todays society.  Thank you for making this video.

Women's Aid is a sexist feminist organisation that seeks to belittle and deny the extent of male victims of domestic violence, and has hijacked the issue for political purposes.

Video was well made, but extremely cliched and a poor choice of organisation.

Anyway don't take my word for it - read up on what Erin Pizzey thinks of the people who running Women's Aid - (Erin founded the world's First Domestic violence shelter in Chiswick in 1970 so she knows what she's talking about).
