Abuse is abuse. Physical, sexual, emotional, mental, whatever.
I don’t care if it’s a man, woman, the Easter Bunny or a fucking Care Bear. Those that do it deserve whatever punishment the law gives. The harsher the better. And there better be a special kind of hell, (pick your religion, as long as it’s punishment for all eternity and for those of you who are atheist, oblivion is almost as acceptable), reserved for those that abuse kids.
Caio, I’m sure you were being sarcastic and inflammitory as is your wont, but if not, then you can fuck right off along with AlecDalek. Sorry man, like I said at the beginning of this little rant.

You actually had any respect for douchebag Caio to lose there, Jediadept? Obviously you don’t read much of the idiocy that Caio is always spouting off, or your Caio Respectability Meter would have been reading zero.

I’ve seen plenty of men, large and small, get seriously abused by females, but these guys felt they couldn’t do anything about. If they fought back, then she is the victim. If he reported it, than pricks like Caio would mock them.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE THAT THERE IS NOT A PHONE SHOWING A MAN GETTING PUNCHED.

A GOOD 1/2 OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS PERPETRATED BY A FEMALE.

FUCK YOU, the_duck. FUCK YOU

@dieAntagonista: That’s possible. I haven’t really thought about it that way.

I grew up in what would be considered an abusive household, but the familiarity with violence has made me intolerant of it. I don’t think twice about speaking up when I don’t like the way they’re treating others or myself. Most people back down when stood up to.

So, I guess I’ve viewed it more like guns… people who grow up around them or are familiar with them are a lot more likely to respond appropriately in a situation when someone is threatening them or a group of people with a gun (you can reference stories where shootings have been avoided, though those rarely show up in major newspapers, there are quite a few stories… the person who stops the shooter is consistently someone who is educated about guns).

But I guess for people who have experienced abuse and rather than develop an understanding that what they grew up with is unnecessary and unpleasant, they simply tune it out, see/feel it as normal, etc (like the people who cycle through abusive relationships).

Nine times out of ten it’s people fearing stepping in. Violence frightens and fascinates humankind as a whole, except for the few that seem to thrive on it. As someone whose lost a family member to unreported abuse, report it for fucks sake. It can go too far…

@outofocus: That’s pretty neat that you did that.
Though I understand how people could just stand around.
Some are just afraid, others fear if they get involved it will have consequences for them as well.
Then there are people who don’t realise that they have the power to end it through a simple call.

Of course there are also just apathetic assholes, but chances are, they themselves are fucked up because of abuse or whatever.
