Patrick Stewart talks about domestic violence

There's always one of you in a crowd

props to Patrick Stewart for speaking out against domestic violence :D

Almost in every case the victim is a female, and the statistics are overwhelming. You can't deny the fact that almost in every marriage only the male is capable of abuse.

However I believe ALL domestic abuse is wrong.

Everyone is capable of abuse. Its just that women have a support network and men dont. Just because its not reported dosnt mean it dosnt exist. Imagine if a man you knew asked for help about domestic abuse, the ridicule and self esteem would be open for all to see. All violence is wrong no matter who does it.

All Im trying to point out is that the title "domestic violence" has been hijacked by the feminists- to men beat up women!!
Utter rubbish!!! Balance is all I ask for

Your heart is in the right place, and you do bring up good points.

However the idea of feminism itself promotes equality and balance, just like you. However you can not deny the ratio, and there is a reason for that ratio.

I really appreciate your comments - I in fact made a short film about that very issue - the witnessing - please check out my short film ABOVE THE NOISE -

the psychological impact has lasted does last a lifetime.

This is great work these actors are doing - thanks for uploading.

would love to have people screen a short film on domestic violence which i made recently called "above the noise"

Hate to break it to you, but it's the feminist groups that run the shelters for male victims of domestic violence. They also operate the hotlines, support groups, and counseling services for male victims. It was the feminist scholars that identified the victimization of men and boys. It's the feminist groups that point out that sexism (e.g. assuming women can't be abusers) hurts everyone, not just women.

Stupid this guy. Violence is gender neutral. Just because he say only one side (men gives to women) he is ignorant that there is other side also (women giving men). It is fashionable and beneficial to some popular men to gain personal benefits by giving biased opinions. No one responds when men suffer by abuse of women. Men are ill treated and are slaves to make MONEY to pay taxes,aliminy,cosmetics. Isn't SEX a need for men then being EXPLOYTED .

More people should respond to violence against men, but acting like men have the short end of the stick in society doesn't further that cause.
Maybe men wouldn't be treated like financial commodities if there wasn't a gender-based wage gap, or if women weren't portrayed as sexy, dumb objects in the media. No one gender is at fault for this, but sexism goes both ways and hurts everybody.
