This is ridiculous nonsense. There is no excuse or justification for violence except in self defense. To imply they both have some sort of "need" to be beaten or something to that effect is crazy and bad psychology. There are predators (the abuser) and people who can't spot an abuser in time (the victim). They're not both equally culpable. One is guilty of a crime, the other is not. Violence is consensual? Is a robbery consensual too? She should learn some real psychology.

@Zerafinel The only 'nonsense' here is you failure to accept reality. Personality disorder is the name of the tune and a great many people - both women and men - live their lives to that tune.

It is backward in the extreme to suggest that in a relationship, violence only has a perpetrator and a victim.

Your robbery analogy is farcical and misses the mark. If a couple has a verbal argument, is there always an arguer and a non-arguer? Or can they BOTH be arguing?

My wife faked assault as a strategy in a divorce. Even-though there was no injury to my spouse, our home, no witnesses, no prior history of violence I was removed from my home and immediately given a no contact order baring me from my home, the university where I was employed (my wife was a student there) This imbalanced legal system more and more often is used as an extension of a woman's common psychological abuse.

Very sorry to hear of your experience.

We can at least look forward to change on the horizon. I believe that the more truth there is out there, the better things are bound to get.

[JAKETHEGREAT11100]

@manwomanmyth do you really believe that? because i think the evidence could be right in the courts/officers face and it really wouldnt matter. the government in general could care less about men.

[manwomanmyth]

@JAKETHEGREAT11100 I think I used to believe it. Not so sure now.

MWM -- you've shown politicians, the police, the BBC, social services, all to be the crooked scum that they are.

Abuse perpetuates abuse. The abused becoming an abuser is a very sad reality. I've seen it at first hand the most tragic part is they do not see the wrong they are doing. I've heard every excuse for thier behaviour the worst of which is the "I was treated much worse than this when I was a child".

Sounds just like what my aunt is doing to my uncle, she bit off his nose and made him walk 5 miles to the hospital for example.

Man does not beat women until she provoked and at the most one or two slap which is nature but to go to law is nothing but destroy children life. They say in the interest of they separate man and women. Where is the interest of child? Half the time with mother and half the with father in which mother will seat at home drawing social fund and influence the child in which father will lose child. IT IS NOTHING BUT CRUVALTI OF THE LAW OF THE LAND.

There are many British man goes to third world bring bride from there. They show there true colour within one year in which D/V and social worker playing part to destroys marriage. What they have to do is to go and report with wrong allegation and job done. There is no government as dirty as British government. This government has no value of man they shatters the mans small kingdom.
