      I am a victim of abuse. We had a kid too. The court handed my daughter to my abuser when she made false claims and I was arrested. All charges were dropped but the custody battle was delayed and made wildly more complex than it needed to be by the mother. Two months ago I was finally awarded sole custody. It has been so hard. To say male abuse victims have an uphill battle is an understatement.

        Stay strong, brother. One day when your child has grown up they’ll understand and be grateful that you fought so hard.

      This is a classic case of the Patriarchy / Toxic Masculinity hurting men too.

      For the government officials to fund a Men’s shelter would mean admitting that men can have moments of weakness, which the men in power do not like.

        It’s important to recognize that women are equally capable of waving around a kitchen knife.

          Much less likely than a male though. Just look at the numbers.

            Absolutely. This just means less resources are required, not no resources at all.

            Would you argue for stopping funding for reasearching and combatting rare diseases affecting only a small population? If you were to base funding solely on utilitarianism, you would.

              I never said any of that. Just pointing out men in gay relationships are more vulnerable because men in general are more likely to become physically violent in cases of domestic abuse.
