Why is abusing a male socially acceptable?

Men being abused is accepted by society because it does not believe that a "real" man can actually be abused, even by another man. Society looks down on men they find to be weak and allows them to go through trails of abuse without much consequence to the abuser. Also, you have to look at it from a man's point of view. There are not many men who would go to the police station to make a report for being abused by a woman or even another man because 1) the police might not believe it, or might not care, 2) they will look down on the man until he himself withdraws the charges.

There are so many reasons why male abuse is acceptable to society, but the most efficient way to put it is the double standard. There is a double standard for everything that has to do with men and women. If a man molests a child, he could face a sentence in prison of 50 years, if a woman does the same, she might get, 5 years or house arrest. Or if a man sleeps with upwards of 500 women then he's the "Master" or the "Man," but if a woman does the same, she is considered a w-h-o-r-e or s-l-u-t. I do not accept these standards and neither should anyone else, but they are there a will be for a long while. Hopefully though, we as society will see the need to throw away such views and become more equal and fair. :D

Deep down it is not acceptable but in society is embarrassing for a man to be abuse by a woman. Also, boys are raised telling them that they should never hit a woman even if the woman or girl hits them. That is because a woman would never hit a man with the same force that a man could hit a woman (of course there are exceptions). The best you could do is try to hold her until she calms down or exhausted. Where I live, when a man call the police they make fun of him which is not a good thing. To say that a man and a woman are equal in every sense is difficult because we're not completely the same so it is hard to judged for equal behavior.

Not sure where you're from, but abuse is abuse in my book. It is not acceptable for a woman nor a man. The laws have definitely changed. Just last night as I was watching 'COPS". I saw a woman get hauled off to jail because she beat on her husband. This lady had just delivered a baby five weeks prior (she was still nursing), and the husband had the baby in his arms feeding it a bottle. The mom was drunk and was upsetting the baby. The cops had no pity on her or the fact that she was a ner mom - they handcuffed her and put her in the car. I think that as more men openly confess that they have been abused more people will realize. Most women have no problem telling about their abuse -but men will hide it. And you are correct, there are some women who use language and tone of voice to men that I would never use.

Her song is not really 'abusing' the male since it was his fault, she was making a point that cheaters should not get off easy. Although she did go a little overboard in smashing his vehicle.

As for the gender issues, I'm honestly not sure. I guess there have been so many abusive men issues that many people assume that all men are like that, which is completely untrue. I do not tolerate that kind of behavior on either side. And women WILL go to jail for hitting a man. And a man would certainly not go to jail for hitting a woman accidentally or unintentionally meant for harm or injury.

Its because men are viewed as the stronger sex. I dont condone abuse from either side. You are mistaken about women not being arrested for domestic violence though its the same crime as if a man hit a woman. I guess it may be reported less since some men are embarrassed about it.

I completely agree with you, I have two young daughters and I want them to understand that man bashing is not acceptable, I respect men and don't understand why people think it's ok to praise this behavior.

'I have not but visible a character name for finishing violence in opposition to guys for anything motive.' I've visible lots, each in this discussion board and in truly lifestyles (wherein I are living there are continually calls to position an finish to gang violence and quit boys/guys killing each and every different, for illustration >>> tasks most of the time strolling into massive sums of cash) Regardless I agree that we will have to be concentrating on preventing violence complete quit

Neither are socially acceptable...in our state if the police are called out to a domestic violence call both parties get a ride in the patrol car (sometimes in different cars if they don't want them together!).

because people have sympathy for women. its stupid that we do get away with more because of that, and then some of us even claim to be mistreated, but i know plenty of women who cheated on men. and they're horrible. it's just horrible period.

and abuse is abuse. by men or women.

Ideally, equal rights come with equal responsibilities. Men are *generally* stronger and more successful than women...

Honestly, they must feel like they're "sticking it to the man" when they get away with this ****. It doesn't bring food to the dinner table, though.

And ladies, don't get me wrong, I do respect those of you that work, and do your job well.
