Domestic violence from women?

Question

Do you think..a court and people would be less sympathetic if a man was a victim of domestic violence from a woman..and isnt that a double standard??

Answer 1

If you had proof that they did treat them differently then yes, that would be a double standard.  Judges are usually monitored to make sure they hand out consistent sentences, and the sentences can be appealed if it is felt they are too lenient :-)

Answer 2

Yeah..........DStandards

Bit most of us don't care such things. A physical damage can't be done easily.

But I have seen some men who live according to their wives only because the wife is the bread-winner of their family.

Answer 3

Yes It's a double standard.

Violence is violence no matter who the victim is. what does it matter if the victim is male. does that mean we should turn our heads and do nothing? NO we need to help BOTH genders we need to show women abuse men I saw this growing up. my mom abused my dad. and he did also. but we need to get people to wake up. to the fact men get abused also it's NOT funny it's a crime just like when a women get abused. violence is a human problem NOT a gender one. God Bless

Answer 4

Which court?

Which people?

It probably does happen that juries and judges are less sympathetic toward male victims of domestic violence, and yes, when it happens it's wrong.

The whole "men are stronger than women" thing is what leads to the notion that violence against women by men is criminal; violence against men by women is either impossible or a joke.

This is one of the reasons I keep arguing with people who say that men are stronger than women: not all men are stronger than all women; one needn't be stronger than another person to injur them or cause them grievous bodily harm.

Answer 5

I don't think that the courts and people in general are any less sympathetic to a man who is a victim of domestic violence. I do know that it is less commen since men are less likely to admit that they are being victimized.

Answer 6

The general public doesn't realise that men are very often the victims of domestic violence by women, and that's why male victims get so little sympathy in courts and elsewhere.

One of the dirty little secrets of feminism is that feminists have campaigned vigorously and using intimidation in order to suppress the many research studies that show the extent of domestic violence by women against men. This outrageous but unrecognised scandal is reviewed by respected Professor of Law, Linda Kelly http://www.law.fsu.edu/journals/lawrevie...

Answer 7

NO !! way  I know someone who play the game really good. and got his wife charge with spousal abuse.and even got a restraining order.lol they law don't care what gender you are.be careful.you can be trap. my cousin husband did this to her . and she was arrested. he played the game really well. he was always beating her . but he had his plan already ,he provoke her and pick a fight and he pushed her , well she was a fighter so she pushed him back ,and he played he fell and minute before he had called 911 to tell them that his was was beating hurt and that she was dangerous. well she was taken advantage of the situation since she had been a victim for 5 years , she thought ,that something was not right ,that she was able this time to overcome him  in strenght , but she told me she did not care how but that she was going to make him pay for all he had done to her: even if it was just one time. oho! the police got there just on time when she was on top of him punching him. not doing any harm . but nevertheless he was a victim he  was a big guy and she was a little thing. but  she got arrested.um now  I remember and is funny but it was not funny that day .!! lol that was a dark night

Answer 8

Yes, the court is less sympathetic, and yes it is a double-standard.  This is not a dig at the courts, but at society in general.  If a guy slaps a woman, he is considered a piece of c**p.  If a gal slaps a guy, it is automatically assumed the guy was a jerk and deserved it, which he probably was, but that's not the point.  If we are going to criminalize a specific type of behavior based on the dynamics of the relationship, as is the case with domestic violence, then it must be applied equally to both men and women.

Answer 9

The problem starts with the abuse men tolerate from women. The emotional, psychological, and sometimes sexual abuse. It has been drilled into his head, since birth to take it like a man, be a man, men don't cry, etc. Like steam pressing a pipe, he bursts/snaps, then you have domestic violence. The courts are not only less sympathetic, they're not even getting to root of the problem when men are the perpetrators. Its always the man has mental problems, the man on drugs, etc. Nobody looks at all that pint up raged/anger/resentment that this person is holding in, just because he was taught that.

Answer 10

They are biased and yes it is a double standard. we need to push the same punishment for the same crime.

Answer 11

Ive read in wikipedia that male victims are less supported than female victims, this is extremely unfair for the part of innocent males,
