Equality isn't a zero sum game here...

I think you need to re-read what was written. Physical abuse IS physical abuse. What was marginalized was the woman’s (in this scenario) being physically hurt. A woman complaining of being HIT is not a woman being “passive-aggressive” or having a “political” agenda. It is a woman being hit.

Your last sentence is really strange and sort of a talk point that doesn’t apply for to my answer. Sorry.

Nah.. I don't need to. Pointing out mental abuse isn't marginalizing physical abuse. You took it further by implying that abused women are somehow more tragic than a man being abused.

No, I actually didn't. I did say that in the case specifically of a man beating up a woman...the man is more likely than not, bigger than the woman. I didn't even mention male abuse at that point, nor had the person I was responding to.

YOU brought up male mental abuse...AFTER my response to this poster.

My response to this poster was his marginalizing physical abuse by more or less saying the woman looked for the abuse, in order to be passive-aggressive and to have some "political" agenda.

This poster didn't mention male mental abuse you're speaking of. You did. After my response to this other poster.

You really need to read these in order, usayit, LOL! Your comments don't make sense in response to mine because of this. If you go back and re-read my response to this other poster, that should clarify. If you have any questions, let me know and in the meantime, male mental abuse is probably its own thread, if you want to start one. This one was about physical abuse against women and that is what I have been focusing on.
