Domestic Violence against Men (under VAWA) - an investigative report on a taboo subject!.

Among the reported domestic violence cases, 50 to 60% of abuses are against women, the other 40% are against men. Many will see this 40% as a "laughing matter", yet this is not the case because most people will be surprised to know that there are around 300,000 men abused in the United States every year. In fact, our law firm has won many VAWA cases where the men were the abused not the perpetrators and the ratio of men to women seems to back these figures. According to many, violence against men is one of the most under-reported phenomenon in our society.

Violence against men especially in the immigrant community is probably more under-reported because of the cultural issues attached to the role of men in the immigrant community. Unfortunately domestic violence is not a "men exclusive club". More and more experts are seeing that this phenomenon is a human problem altogether.

According to a non profit organization in Oregon (http://www.oregoncounseling.org/Handouts/DomesticViolenceMen.htm)

Domestic violence against men goes unrecognized for the following reasons:

The incidence of domestic violence against men appears to be so low that it is hard to get reliable estimates.
It has taken years of advocacy and support to encourage women to report domestic violence. Virtually nothing has been done to encourage men to report abuse.
The idea that men could be victims of domestic abuse and violence is so unthinkable to most people that many men will not even attempt to report the situation.
The counseling and psychological community have responded to domestic abuse and violence against women. Not enough has been done to stop abuse against women. There has been very little investment in resources to address the issues of domestic abuse and violence against men.
In most cases, the actual physical damage inflicted by men is so much greater than the actual physical harm inflected by women. The impact of domestic violence is less apparent and less likely to come to the attention of others.
Even when men do report domestic abuse and violence, most people are so astonished, men usually end up feeling like nobody would believe them. It is widely assumed than a man with a bruise or black eye was in a fight with another man or was injured on the job or while playing contact sports. Women generally don't do those things.
According to this organization there are few reasons why men continue in an abusive relationship namely to protect the children, because they assume the guilt or blame and dependency.

Men are victims of of DV just as frequently as women are. Difference is, women don't generally have the physical strength to inflict any serious injury. I've been slapped (and even punched) by many of the women I've been with. Never felt "endangered" on any level, though. It still ain't right, but there's a big difference between a man getting a red cheek and a woman being hospitalized by her SO. I've only personally known of one case where the man was seriously injured by the woman.

@cosmosspring Well you have officially removed any doubt, thanks for the confirmation. Now git troll. Git.

@booooboooo2010 You just sensed yourself bro.

You mad because I've asked you to prove what you were saying?

Oh! you're the man! What you say goes!

How dare I not believe you sacred manly words???

[booooboooo2010]

@cosmosspring I sense an idiot. What proof are you looking for? Try googling "assaults by women on their male partners" which contains 100's of peer reviewed and accepted studies on female partner violence. Or you could simply contact the government.

its not just the elderly men that are victims of domestic violence. here is a common scenario. a very strong man gets hit by his wife and does not hit her back because he is afraid of hurting her or afraid of getting arrested for hitting her. i have a friend who's wife frequently hits him. her excuse is that it does not hurt him (he is pretty tough). but we wouldn't accept that if the roles were reversed (oh it doesn't matter if i hit her, she can take it).

- Women are Good, Men are Bad

- Women are helpless Victims, Men are Perpetrators

- Women need Help and Protection, Men must be Restrained, Prosecuted and Jailed!
