“She Hit Me!” Words we rarely hear a man yell because in general it is not talked about as abuse to men. It’s made into a TV show, called crazy baby mama, crazy ex-girlfriends and it’s a joke. If most people hear a man say “I’m a victim of domestic violence.” people laugh, get confused as to how that is even possible or worse, they blame him.
In our society women are always encouraged to report domestic violence, but if a man is getting throat punched every other night he’s encouraged to shut up and take it. Men are supposed to be strong, invincible pillars of little, if any, emotion. He better not tell nor should he defend himself or he’s automatically considered a coward. The truth is anyone that knowingly abuses another human being is a coward. It is a forgotten rule that if you hit, you better expect to get hit back…unless you’re a man.
