Victim-blaming of men who experience Domestic Violence.

[CCitizen]

In part because I think radical feminists demonize men. I'm highly insulted, when someone lumps me into a rapist/abuser category simply because I have balls, just like I'm highly insulted when I'm told I'm privileged because I'm white or I owe someone reparations for a travesty they did not experience nor was I responsible for.

I agree 100%. Blaming all men for the crimes of some is evil.

And that's how a total dirtbag like Trump gets elected, because white males like me (and I didn't vote for him lol) are kind of tired of it.

That is an important point. Of course Trump has many many faults. The way he treats poor people and immigrants is atrocious.

But when many Democrats view men as the oppressor class, and support abuse of men, Trump is the lesser evil.

Yes, males can be victims. But should men be victims?
Adults, in these scenarios. Children have no say in their abuse.

Most people in abusive relationships find it very difficult to escape.

For men in Western World it is two orders of magnitude more difficult, since they are unlikely to be helped and likely to be arrested.

Would it be considered ridicule if I question the sexual orientation of males who claim to be abused?

Until you are in an abusive relationship, I do not think you will understand the situation.

You have no idea what situations I've experienced or understand. I do agree with you though, some things are only understandable through experience, unfortunately.

I'm not a male though. So, of course I can't imagine being a male and worrying about being afraid.... of either ridicule, or of a female.

That did not address the question asked. Did you understand the question?

None of abuse victims choose to be victims. But for most victims of abuse leaving is very difficult.

Until you have been in an abusive relationship you may not understand.

I am sorry -- I guess I did not.

As a high functioning Autistic, I may not understand many intricacies of speech.

That's an oddly interesting perspective. Do I incorrectly assume that you are a male, CCitizen?

And what, in your estimation, is my responsibility in this?
