What type of abuse tends to be more cowardly? (wife, women, love)

[Laychick]

I've never been abused before and nor would I ever tolerate it. As I was reading the topic http://www.city-data.com/forum/relat...tionships.html I was thinking it's gotta be cowardly to abuse your partner esp for stupid reasons such as ''But I was being talked crap about'' or ''He/she was rude and getting on my nerves''.

While there was always been abusive men ever since the caveman ages, apparently there has also been the woman-to-man abuse happening lately. Usually it happens with a patient man and he's probably waiting for her to get it out of her system one day and be fixed one day; similar to the reason many women stayed with their abusive partners.

Though abusers are scumbags in general, but which do you think tends to hold the greatest degree of cowardness?

1) The male abuser who takes it out on his gf or wife but not willing to do the same to a man his size or bigger. For instance, there was a talk show before where the host was confronting an abuser bf. As big and tough the so called ''man'' was, he backed down with the host, who had training experience and should have taken him down if he wanted to.

2) The female abuser who uses the man's moral and/or good character and he's unwilling to hurt her in return. However, just like the male abuser she wouldn't be able to do on another woman. I think that's cowardly since she's using a nice person, while all he wants is love. I can't imagine doing that to a guy or any human being.

acting like a man is "abusive" or "rude" just because he tells her what she doesn't want to hear

I think they are both cowardly and disgusting. Luckily I wont have to deal with anything like this ever again.

Male abusers tend to rely on physical strength as opposed to female abusers who lean more toward inflicting emotional and mental trauma, though it is not unheard of to see females physically abuse their SO's. Either way its a sad situation as ones life can be destroyed forever as a result...
