What a man.

[kamichisolm]

who are the six insane people who disliked this? we need more men to stand up to violence against woman and to create society where violence is not the option for anyone one.

Women are not physically weaker. Go and develop an understanding of statistics.

This moved me to tears and I hold Patrick in even greater regard after hearing him speak about wanting to protect his mother......I sincerely hope that there is divine justice for all perpetrators who abuse women. And abuse comes in many forms, not just physical......and the policemen who think that women provoke men have NO idea what we go through so think again and God help your conscience if any of us come to any harm. SILENCE NEEDS TO BE BROKEN AND WE NEED TO RAISE OUR VOICES

“@guitarvirgin You are incorrect in your (analysis)” Actually guitarvirgin was not making an analysis. I think you meant “conclusion”. And his conclusion is spot on with the VAST MAJORITY of research that has been done on DV for the last 50+ years. You think you are arguing with guitarvirgin, starsiegeplayer or myself but you are not. You are arguing against 100's of studies supported by years of research from actual experts with PhD’s.

"No one is listening to you." Really? That's your reply? How about you bring some actual facts to the conversation. Then you can try refuting my documented facts. Sorry… try again.

"100% disagree". You can disagree all you want. It is still a FACT.

[ammobank]

@starsiegeplayer 100% disagree. However, women are physically weaker and unable to return a blow while some men are abused because woman can control by other means than strength. Money, Sex, The Kids, Threat of Cheating, name calling, bullying, deception, poisoning, and/or rumors.

@Shoteen95 It seems some who suffer become gold while others who suffer become become bitter and hostile. I wonder just what is the dividing factor. I would think it to faith.

[ammobank]

@NoMorThanMost... No one is listening to you. Give it up and go back to your world.

[ammobank]

@guitarvirgin You are incorrect in your analasis. It is about how some women have little or no ability to get out of a situation or to fight against the attacker.

I would consider talking to a trusted person about what you are saying. Not those in your group. It is not at all what you are saying.

This video is a disgusting example of gender bias and ignorance.

The general message of this video is that many men commit domestic violence and women are normally the victims of this violence and that message is a LIE.

If you're not afraid to face the truth then cut and paste the following into youtube

Domestic Violence - 1 in 4 Women - 1/4
