What is your feeling towards male victims of domestic violence?

[Mingle]

Physical inferiority, as I have proven, does not give you the right to hit someone. Mental inferiority or emotional instability, however, at least gives you an explaination.

So you would accept getting smacked without hitting back by a much stronger man if you knew he was mentally/emotionally unstable? Most men wouldn't.

It does not make sense to accept a slap from a woman solely by the fact that she's physically inferior, because if a small, weak guy slaps a big, strong guy, that weak guy gets slapped back.

Not hitting women but hitting weak men is based on us generalizing the sexes. Men are generalized as strong while women are generalized as weak. Because of this generalization, there's cultural conditioning to not hit women since they're weaker.

Also, mentally superior men wouldn't feel bad about hitting retarded/emotionally stunted men.

You could argue there's more emotional sympathy for women since they're seen as gentler (in addition to weaker), but that's not related to inferiority.

The reason we don't slap women, again, is the same why we would never slap a child-that child is not only physically, but also mentally inferior, and also emotionally unstable.

They aren't mentally inferior.

I would tolerate much more from a guy with down syndrome or a child or a woman than I would from a mentally healthy, grown man, yes. Especially when it's getting physical.

We generalize the sexes because in general, men are stronger and women are weaker.

Women are not as logical / rational as men and more emotionally unstable.

Before we have not made clear what constitutes domestic violence, voting for any of these options would be pointless.

If it's about a woman cutting your penis off and flushing it down the sink (happened before) - that guy not only deserves our sympathy, that "woman" also deserves the capital punishment.

On the other hand, a guy crying about his girlfriend yelling at him-no sympathy here. He shall man up and kick her out or leave her in an instant.

i agree with this post. to add to it, i think that women should not put their hands on men unless they want the same treatment in return. mutual respect in any relationship should at least afford that much.

Any "man" that tolerates domestic violence from a woman is not a man, and therefore deserves everything he got.

Any "man" generally allowing female authority over him is a victim of the modern west, none of your male ancestors the past thousand years allowed this.

[Celestia]

The first option, and anyone who mocks their experience or tells them to man up are pure scum.

In my house, me and me woman rule, both equally.

The reason why males let females slap them is not because they are physically, but mentally and psychologically stronger.

Physical inferiority does not give you the right to do stupid things. A weak guy that hits a bodybuilder will get hit back.

However, while mental inferiority and emotional instability do not give you any rights per say, people will be more tolerant towards you. They will be inclined to defend and protect you.

Would you hit a child? Of course not. Even if that child would slap you, you would try to de-escalate the situation rather than hit back with full force.

We don't attack the child not because of its physical inferiority, but because of its mental, emotional inferiority and instability.

This is the same reason why women are allowed to hit guys, and why guys ideally don't hit back.

Junge, was laberst du von deinen Ahnen und Hitler?

Bis 1945 hätte jeder Ehemann seine Alte weggekellt. Doch die Weiber hätten es niemals gewagt einen Mann zu attackieren.

Obviously the first option. And the female/ male partner should face charges

Number 1 obviously, abuse should not be tolerated in any kind of way.

Why does the guy have down syndrome and why is he being compared to a normal man? I mentioned emotionally stunted cause I was making an analogy with women and their mentality. I'll be more specific.

Would you rather return a punch from a strong grown man that's very effeminate/childish or from a normal (AKA weak) woman?

Since this is about mentality and has nothing to do with strength according to you, I'm guessing you would be more likely to return the punch from the woman since the man has a weaker mentality (in this case) and thus you feel less committed to harming him like you would with a child.
