Yes they can. I have a friend who recently broke off an engagement with an abusive woman. At first there were subtle jabs at his masculinity, and I just thought she was kind of an insecure loser. But they dated for over a year and were looking to get married. One night after a night out where they fought, he dropped her off. But she came back and broke down his door and then his nose. A neighbor called the cops and he pressed charges. They broke up and she had to go through AA treatment and anger counseling.
IMHO best thing that ever happened to him. I should add he would never strike a woman.
I'm not sure if the abuser can be a woman. Never heard of this before but I have witnessed it myself two times.
Event 1: When I was a kid, I once caught my uncle with a bloody nose. He told everyone he got into an angry brawl at a club. I know my uncle isn't that type of person that goes clubbing and never saw him drunk. Could have sworn he was at home and he doesn't drink more than two glasses so his story didn't make sense at all. I was only 8 then, didn't suspected anything until years later.
Event 2: I was now spending my summer vacation with my aunt and uncle. This is before entering my senior year of high school. Anyways as I got home after a night's hang-out with my friends, there was an argument between them. I don't know what the argument was about but it was then I saw my aunt pushing my uncle against the screen door. I never said anything to anyone as I was thinking maybe it's just a regular argument couples have.
They have been married for almost 55 years now. I'm not sure if it's still happening. If anyone were to meet them, they appear to be the perfect couple. My aunt doesn't look like the type of person who's violent. I'm now convince she was the one that gave him that bloody nose that day and he covered up for her. I'm still having a hard time imagining my aunt would do that. Not too sure if that's even possible, that it's the woman being physical abusive while the husband keeps quiet about it. My uncle never told anyone and still doesn't. I'm starting to wonder if this always happened when they were married and if it continues or has stopped. How many more are out there or is my uncle the only single case?
Yes women are abusive...not all but there are those out there who are the abusive ones in the relationship
My ex-friend was very abusive to her boyfriend..She would beat him with the windshield scraper..
Now this takes the cake , One day we were coming home from the casino and her boyfriend was driving and she had asked him to stop at the store because she wanted a soda pop so he did, he went into the store and she tell me "now watch this, do you want to see John beg". I didnt know what she meant by that but so found out. John came out of the store and she locked him out of his truck and wouldnt let him back in until he begged like a dog on his hands and knees with his tongue out. I looked at her and said " What are you doing" I let her know that was disrespectful and I told John he was stupid for allowing her to treat him like that.
No one should be disrespected..and no one should abuse anyone
Absolutely!!! abuse knows no gender. Anyone, male or female can be the abuser.
Exactly but somehow I feel that violence from women towards men is seen as cute, funny, brave, heroic, hilarious, justified, etc. Add to that all the scenes in movies, sitcoms, soap operas, commercials, etc. that show that and its totally acceptable, almost encouraged . How can someone feel bad of doing something that is seen as normal? I am probably the only one at the movie theater with no expression in his face when they show the typical "funny/hilarious" scene of a woman kicking a guy between his legs, hitting him with a pan on his head, punching him straight in the nose, etc. while everybody roars in laughter.
A woman who beats up a man who she knows will not physically harm her in return is as much of a coward as a guy who beats up a woman who can't defend herself.
Disgusting, cowardly behavior from what ever gender is doing it.
That's typical female behavior. All women like to make their boyfriend/husband beg for something and emasculate him.
Have to disagree with you
My boyfriend is my parnter or other better half and I would never have him beg or emasculate him. Maybe your just dating the wrong kind of women.
You only get treated the way you allow yourself to be treated.
It may be typical for the females you associate with. But dont catoragize all women??
The story you posted is about your friend, so what are you calling him out on? It is typical of female abusive behavior in order to humiliate him in front of otheres, men like to keep theres behind closed doors.

He left her
because they way she treated him
his abuse was open and he didnt try to hide it
it was us telling him that kind of treatment was wrong

They're are abusive behaviors more typical to women than men. If you look at crimes, same thing, some will be typically female such as poisining. Its just the way it is and not excusing one gender over the other.
