Ltdarling on Domestic Violence - Webrings and such.. | |
This topic makes me very sad. It is so infortunate that this happens to many women, all over the world.
It is my belief that emotional abuse and finanical and physical abuse goes hand in hand, and are almost always tied together.
I have never met anyone who has been in a realtionship that involved volience abuse. Without saying that he wouldn't let me have any money, have a job, almost always these women are left. Feeling stupid or ugly.
I have been approached my men online when the subject of domestic volience is broached upon. I hear things like men are battered too. How come you don't hear about these men? They need protection too. I know that this happens? But I have my own option of this matter.
Men fail to realize that they are physically stronger than women, and in rage these men who batter, have enough malice in them to seriously harm another person. Women, almost always cannot defend themselves effectively and shouldnt have too. When a man decided to hit or strick a woman there is nothing she can do about it. Therefore, Women are in grave physical danger, of being seriously hurt or worse killed by a thier sufficant other.
The funny thing about this "domestic disputes which involve volience are almost always, over some trivial matter that is out of the blue, and completely unwarrented, and never expected.
Women find themselves in these situations long after they are trained to believe that, they deserve this treatment, and are afraid to leave after being threatened, or killed, children harmed, family pets hurt, or other family members. They have seen countless times how distructive, thier spouse can be and know that this man they love is capable of following through on these threats.
What, I want to say that women, are extremly frightened and scared in these situations. and until a man, is financially dependant on a woman, has been towered over in size by a woman, and knows that he can be easily over powered, physically and raped repeatly, by woman. I really can't believe that a that men can fully understand what we go through.
----- @@@ -----
If you are a man in this situation and have my sympathy, thank you for not striking back. This says alot about you and there is nothing for you to be ashamed of when reporting the volience that has happened to you.
( But.. not to take away from men's causes.. I found this website particularly and eyeopener. I hope it helps. Battered Men- the hidden side of domestic volience
I want these men to know that I feel for them and i am not against men in anyway, and if you find yourself in a volient relationship. Please get yourself to safety and leave the realtionship. Your safety comes first...)
Women are less able to defend themselves from a man on many levels other than physical strength. So I dont think that men getting beaten by a woman is the same, and cant be compared to what female experiences, in many ways.
Women still, need protection, from police officers, family doctors, friends and neighbours, financial intitutions, and hositals. Everyone needs to , in the family home. It could be your mother, sister, grandmother or daughter. If one of these members of your family, approachs you, about her spouse, try to be open to talk to, and understanding, it is scary enough to live through, but for most women, it is even scarier to leave.
This is a hard for me to write about this issue for personal reasons.
So, Please feel free to visit these webrings, I keep seeing these groups on various websites. I also keep bumping women like myself over and over again on the internet,in chat rooms, through ICQ, yahoo pager and throughout my offline life.
Kutos to all those brave women who are now experiencing volience and currently tring to get on with thier lives after the abuse has stopped.
