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!

@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?

@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!

@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 - 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!

@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.

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?

@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.

@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]

@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 - 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 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.
