D0uBLE Standard??..I hit u...U hit me....Who is at fault...

As I am getting ready to head out and get some needed maintenance of my truck, I got stuck in front of the TV. There was a really good debate going on about Physical Abuse. Men Vs Women. Is there a double standard in our society? If we see a man hit a woman, we want justice.... But what about when women hit men? Why don't we see as many cases or worst yet, many women in jail for domestic/physical violence. While I have not researched the topic and am only speaking on the debate I watched for 45 mins, it got me thinking...... Is it a taboo for men to report women for physical violence? Is it shameful? Sad to say, during one of the debates, I laughed at a point a woman made...That most woman cant hurt/hit men.....we are the timid, weaker beings....I thought to myself, are you serious?? I look at myself.....While size isn't everything, I have ALWAYS been thankful for my size. While out by myself I am thankful because i am not some petite small woman and think i am looked over as an "easy" target. So what are you thoughts? Is it a double standard? Do men get the dual sword on both sides? Is it still taboo to report a woman beating up a man? Look forward to your thoughts..... Kitty  KiTtyCaT

Yep. Even when she's 4 inches taller and literally twice your weight. Too bad the judge let her off when she pleaded guilty to violating the order; and he looked at me like I was trash. The world is not, nor will ever be, fair or just.

I'll mention a neat law Kansas had in effect until almost two years ago when the Castle Law took effect. When confronted with violence the law stated that the victim had *No* right to self defense, even in your own home, and yes this encompassed domestic dispute. The law stated that the victim should leave the area and act of aggression. My spouse has a loud voice that carries quite well and draws attention from neighbors...So goes, once during a heated discussion, it became time to separate before it became a physical confrontation. After stating why I was stepping away, she followed outdoors continuing altercation. Once convinced to return inside... A car horn sounded, as I turned, an officer at the side of my property lowered his listening/amplification device, waved salutations and drove away (likely one of the guys I know). To make a short summary, just because someone wants to pick a fight doesn't give anyone the right to deliver their opposers wish, there will always be situations where a cooler head prevails. But yea, if I'd had any alcohol, I'd have been the one to get cuffed and stuffed on that one.... Kitty KiTtyCaT

Are you kidding? Of course there is a double standard, and it does not just apply to violence. How many men ever speak up about sexual abuse by women? Do you think it never happens? What about adult women with underage boys? Yes, there have been cases reported, but not many, and look at the public reaction. "Lucky bugger." Lucky? In my experience, boys react in much the same way as girls to unwanted sexual attention. Shame, humiliation, fear, confusion. Well, you asked for my thoughts.  KiTtyCaT
