Battered Women PSA (1999)

This is a battered women PSA that I acted in in 1999. I believe it was aired on public access in the NW suburbs of Chicago.

I hear mixed stats on ratio of women to man, man to woman physical or domestic violence, on the one hand men abuse more, on the other women abuse more and than I hear it is about the same. However, if I was to judge it on the ads and domestic violence campaigns, I would say men abuse 100% of the time and women are always victims. Something just doesn't ring true about my last statement, not in my experiences or observations. I think what we see is selfish women's groups out telling lies.

Men have a problem, we beat on women, just look at the statistics!

@88style83 I know what you mean and i'm a woman.

If a woman slaps a man nothing is done but if a man slaps a woman all hell breaks lose.

Men are more likely to be victims of any violent crime except sexual misconduct. That being said, I'd take rape over murder any day of the week. While men are also more likely to be the perpetrators, do we say, "black men are more likely to commit crime, that makes them the oppressors?"

Why is violence so much worse when the victim has breasts?

It is this sort of behavior that converted Warren Farrell, ex-director of NOW, to leave the organization and admit that feminism is largely man-hate.

I didn't know there were so many battered women in this world. And to think that all of this time, I been eating them raw!
