Why Are Women Who Are More Abusive Than Men Getting All the Support as Victims of Abuse?

Question by Destroyer: Why are women who are more abusive than men getting all the support as victims of abuse?
Is it because feminists have lied so much about domestic violence and child abuse only seeking to demonize men and thus many other victims including children, men and even lesbian women who experience violence being ignored.

Over the past 30 years feminists have often played an admirable role in pushing for societal acceptance for gays and lesbians. However, feminists have shamefully turned their backs on battered lesbians, and have stifled the attempts of activists to address lesbian domestic violence.
Proving that feminists really only use gays conveniently

In reality it is mothers, not fathers, who commit the overwhelming majority of child abuse, neglect, and parental murder. According to the US Department of Justice, 70% of confirmed cases of child abuse and 65% of parental murders of children are committed by mothers, not fathers.

The Third National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (1996) found that children are 88% more likely to be seriously injured from abuse or neglect by their mothers than by their fathers.

feminists played a role in advocating for abused women and publicizing the despicable crime of wife-beating. Today, unfortunately, their refusal to acknowledge violence by women stands in the way of eliminating domestic violence for everyone–not only women, but men and children as well.

@ Pretty Little liar – I don’t expect you to find anything that does not suit your purpose, you are hilarious.

@ Ya Coffee – You call yourself a feminist and a human rights activist in the same breath? Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!! Feminists don’t fight for human rights they fight for women’s privileges and ignore the fact that anyone else has rights and even work to prevent others from seeking their rights.
@ Granny Tea – So why don’t we label mothers as dangerous potential murderers of their children and go after mothers who account for 65% of murders of their own kids then? Once again your logic is flawed.

That’s called, “Political Correctness.”

It’s peak era was (and the ramifications are still being felt today) 1979-1996.

Answer by Ya Coffee
As a human rights activist and feminist I oppose all abuse – absolutely and completely – no matter who is the abuser and who is abused. I believe in stopping all violence and I have said it here – clearly you are not listening – I think you are prejudiced against feminists and anything I say as a feminist – you’ll dismiss as lies because of your closed mind – you really don’t want to hear the truth – like so many men here that slander feminism – they do not want to hear from feminists – they only want to put them down to raise their own egos – narcissistic men who love to put down women(see source 1)

The source you give is ONLY an opinion – and provides no proof. You need to find real proof that shows that “feminists have lied so much about domestic violence” and “feminists have shamefully turned their backs on battered lesbians” – Can you give REAL proof? I suspect not.

What do you say to this?

“Males committed the vast majority of homicides in the United States at that time, representing 90% of the total number of offenders.[2]
White females of all ages had the lowest offending rates of any racial or age groups.[4]
Females were most likely to be victims of domestic homicides (63.7%) and sex-related homicides (81.7%)[12]
Males were most likely to be victims of drug- (90.5%) and gang-related homicides (94.6%).[13]
Of children under age 5 killed by a parent, the rate for biological fathers was only slightly higher than for biological mothers.[6]” (source 2) (yet mothers are typically with children for much more time than men)

The reason that women need more help is that all is not equal. Sexist attitudes still make some men think they can “discipline” their wives. The situation is harder for women – they are smaller – so easier to bully and have a harder time defending themselves – some do not work outside the home so do not have access to financial resources sometimes. Men do not face the same challenges.

Still I personally think it’s harder for men than women especially admitting this is happening – the stigma would be overwhelming.

Edit – I bet I do more for men than you do – e-mail me with all the wonderful things you do to help men and I’ll e-mail you with what I do – I’m sure I do more.
