Violence
20 minutes the other day suggested that "safe houses" should be available for men who have been abused by women. Somehow I think the other way around is more common. Have you ever heard of a man being abused physically by a woman?
But this is typical. If it happens once to a man, then measures need to be taken. What about all the hundreds of thousands of women who are abused by men? Mind you, if a man ever laid a hand on me, I would walk away immediately, and it is actually beyond me why other women don't. But hey, not everybody is as tuff as me. Apparently.
But "safe houses" for men? Duuuhhhh. Gimme a break.

'violence'
and here I thought you'd been saying you were a modern-thinking kinda person. Not all men are the macho type and theres plenty of manipulative, nasty, violent and predatory women out there. since there is support like safe houses for abused women, I dont see why there shouldnt be for men if it happens to them too.
Think my point is that I've never heard about a physically abused man. Do they exist?
"Violence"
Yes, they do. At least sometimes you hear from them or see them on televison. But very few times.
And just imagine: What would you think of a men who tell's you that he's getting abused by his wife (girlfriend or what ever)?
Might your answer be the reason why they most of the time don't tell anyone? ;o)
So why not have houses for abused people? Why do men need their own safe house?
"Violance"
Well, not the worst idea. But I think they won't confront absued women with men and the other way around as well. Might make sense. On the other hand it could be a better way for all the victims to realise that getting abused has nothing to do with the gender.
I think it has something to do with gender, since most men are physically stronger than women. Isn't it all about power? And men when frustrated use that physical strength?
