Domestic violence is not a gender issue

Chicken Nachos The Book

Amazon and Barnes and Noble

Verbal and Emotional Abuse = Domestic Violence

If you are in, know someone in or think you are in a verbally and emotionally abusive relationship, Chicken Nachos is a must read! Change the laws to protect the innocent and help protect the victims as they free themselves from the abuse.

@Lachdenan You're pathetic.

[learnwebsitedesign]

To group the words "rape" and "abuse" together in this way is very misleading.

Please see a beautiful video concerning this subject by cieloazure2 entitled On My Own (Stop Violence Against Women Awareness)

More men are abused than women. I'm tired of this sexist VAWA nonsense.

@NearDark87 I apologize for the many posts here, but I just found this on wikipedias section on domestic violence: "A 2006 study showed that women in the United States commit domestic violence against men 33% more often than men do against women, and women commit severe domestic violence twice as often as men"

Hopefully you will find this informationto be helpful and enlightening

@blacksharpiemarker Also, the reason you havn't seen these studies before is becouse they are politically incorrect in todays society. Discrimination against men isn't prioritated in the west, to say the least. I bet that if you rly think about it, you could come up with a lot of reasons why men are in fact being discriminated.

@blacksharpiemarker If I remember correctly my numbers comes from research done by Yale university, oxford university and some canadian state research. They are all very respectabel sources. The studies were conducted in a profesional way with the same questions asked to both men and women, unlike the feminist research which has been highly criticised.

Feminists has only one agenda and that is to help women. Feminists have some "political alliances" with other minoreties, nothing more.
