Domestic violence directed against men more common now in Germany

Domestic violence directed against men more common now in Germany
So more men are now being victims of domestic violence by their partners in Germany than women.
I havent yet met such a woman.

Kind of shocked me, when I read of this. It is a really interesting social development.

How awful. It's probably the same over here in the UK. Just on TV, if a man hits a woman it's always (quite rightly) a shocking moment of domestic abuse, but when a woman hitsa man it's always either a comical slap in the face for looking at another woman, or a "deserved" whack in the face for cheating, and that's disturbing. It's not okay for anyone to hit anyone, regardless of gender, age, height or whatever.

a rather silly contemporary moral stance.

that said, i don't condone violence on anybody. it's immoral imo.

TGAC is back? I thought he died. A pityIt's good to see you're still kicking Big Grin

And yes, women have as much capacity as men to abuse another, and what they might want for in physical strength, they make up for in spades in social strength... that's to say: the social repercussions for a woman's behavior being significantly lighter and having a heavier bar to register entry enables them inflict a larger degree of abuses upon a man. While a man might be jailed for one punch, even if tis in retaliation... a woman often need not fear jail for many punches, especially if tis to a man in a relationship with her.

Sooner we get away from telling men to deal with their shit, and support them as we do women... sooner physically abusive women will receive restraining orders Smile

hmm.. this is proof that self-interest is the primary human motivation, given you ostensible gender.

sorry, but to me rule of law is an immoral concept as you cite.

Of course, so you'll have no objection to me setting you on fire, right? You'd be cool with that, yeah?
