Domestic violence directed against men more common now in Germany

[festive1]

Welcome back Germans!

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

... Sorry, did you sneeze, or was that your attempt at a coherent sentence?

But let's not mind your barbarism... instead: maybe you might illustrate to us what gender has to do with self-interest?

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

I don't care about law... just what are you raving about, anyway?

[dazzn]

Clearly your English language comprehension is not good.

Rule of law precludes your "woman holding more rights" argument.

Evidently, you are unaware of proper comma placement. You probably shouldn't be attempting to lecture English to anyone.

Rule of law precludes your "woman holding more rights" argument.

What does rule of law have to do with you holding more rights, dazzn? I cite neither right nor law, therefore I've reason to question your insistance that I do.

heh, if two people commit the same crime, then it lends to them receiving equal legal treatment/punishments, irrespective of who they are. The only differences should be per the facts of each crime.

Oh, is that how it should be? Funny then, that identical crimes are committed... while their sentences are quite variable.

Who you are is everything... or to be more precise: who others see you as.

[dazzn]

yes, that's normal. since the facts of all crimes are different.

[Violet]

yes, that's normal. since the facts of all crimes are different.

Are they? Wow... I never knew that crime was an infinitely variable task that cannot repeat itself ever. It's like me granddad always said: Killing( tastes)'s like Pi(e).

Isn't Pi irrational? Hmm.

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.

I am to understand that this has been a constant throughout the past 50+ years TGAC. If not longer.

The more important part of this study is the inconsistency in the numbers. Notice that the ratio of men to women admitting to abusing their partners is not even remotely similar to the ratio of women to men claiming to be abused. That shows that men are less likely to admit to both abusing and being abused. But that's not exactly a shocking or unprecedented discovery. The story of K is more interesting to me, because it actually shines a light on the problem of court discrimination. Removing institutional bias might effect social change, but the question of how to do so is difficult.

In some cases it might help to keep the identities and genders of the involved parties anonymous, but in more that would be impossible. Courts could be held accountable for bias, but each jury is different, so the effect would be small.
