I've never heard liberals come out against violence against men. It strikes me as a bit odd. Granted, I'm not saying they think it's appropriate behavior, but I'm shocked they don't consider the minority, though still significant number of men being abused by their partners.

What a bizzarre post.

This liberal, like almost all, I'm sure, is against it.

I can't see any guy I know calling the cops because he got hit by woman.

Since it's a public record the police visit would be in the newpaper and he'd never be able to live that one down.

The problem is a lot of men are too prideful to even report most domestic violence cases against them. We live in a society where men are told to "man up" about everything, while women are told to cry for help.

A buddy of mine regularly gets his clock cleaned by his fat wife, yet he never does anything about it.

My point, is that anyone can be a victim of abuse, and a stigma certainly exists for abused white men, or the lack thereof perception.
