Author Mangomonkey Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 Its all just weird to me. I was watching a show where it showed a woman being violent toward their spouse. The guy recorded it and showed pictures of scratches, bruises, and etc. It was a talk show. The host laughed it off and the ultimate solution was to just get counseling. It showed the same situation except the guy was the violent one and the solution for that was an arrest warrant and to have limited custody of his kids. Both spouses had kids. Same kinda abuse. Just different outcomes. Guess thats life. Im still glad im a man to say the least. Even if i got some disadvantages. I think we still get the better deal.

Yeah, I think that is going to be my attitude from now on.
Negative Nancy Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I am sure that the same sex parent being abusive had something to do with it. My father stood there and did nothing but he never actively abused me. He was just a doormat. Feminism in and of itself does not condone men being hit but the misandrist wing of the movement certainly. My mother used to watch the news and would laugh if there was news about a man being hurt or killed so do you think she would sympathy for a man being abused? Here's a song for you, Woggle. I just found it accidentally and liked it so much (music-wise) that I wanted to post it somewhere, but it wouldnt fit anywhere lyrics-wise. Then the lyrics kinda reminded me of you (just as eminem's "cleaning out my closet" must have been cathartic for you huh), so I'm gonna post it here. Not in a mean-spirited, vindictive way, more in a offering sympathy way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEOj8Xd57Nc I could write a symphony about this pain in me ´Cause I was eight when I felt lost and lonely We never harmonized every day we'd fight In my mind even the good times felt phony Now I know a child should never bleed like this God help me ´cause I can´t deal with this With everything she did with every scar she left so deep in my heart I can´t forget my mother said she hates me And I can never forgive her It seems like in her eyes I´ve never been a child I had to pay for mistakes kids are making She left my father and stuck to another man And said that she would act like this for the sake of me Yes I know a child should never bleed This is the only way I can say what I still remember I try to come to terms with the truth ´til today this song is a letter You´re caught in a jail of self-pity and talk to me but never with me You never said "I´m sorry for this" now I´m living a life without you Please help me cause I can´t deal with this With everything you did with every scar you left so deep in my heart I can´t forget that you said that you hate me Edited January 21, 2011 by Negative Nancy
radiodarcy Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 i don't think it's ok for anyone to hit anyone - - regardless of gender.
paleblue Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 one of my ex’s started batting me when we were driving. and it wasn’t the first time. I became so angry I started smashing my fists on the dashboard so hard I fractured a metatarsal in my hand and broke the air vent inside the dashboard. I figured that was better than unleashing that force on her. the very first time she did it I was in shock. like standing there asking myself did that really just happen?? I couldn’t believe it. I let it go. when it happened again driving, that was the last time she would ever lay a hand on me. I promptly dumped her. I wasn’t happy about having to, but I couldn’t live with myself otherwise. its not cool. if I cant hit you, than you cant hit me. I don’t get why these days some women/girls think they are such bad asses. you hear about it all over the place. maybe some guys are wimps but I would hate to think the damage I would do if I hit some girl in the head with my fist full force. I would never do it. I would be scarred too.
Woggle Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I am not an Eminem fan so cleaning out my closet was not cathartic for me. When I am in a bad mood listening to some aggressive rock like Metallica or The Stooges or something like that make me feel better.

Hope you weren't listening to St. Anger...that usually puts me in a worse mood.
