Anger management. Seek it.

Actually yeah, embarrassment. Or harassment is just as applicable, come to think of it.

Women being killed is a whole different kettle. We're not talking about the subject of abuse, we're talking about homicide.

But the writer has the (reasonably high) platform, not me.

Besides that, are you saying that only women are victims of domestic abuse? Are you saying that there are plenty discussions on high profile forums that include men as part of the conversation? Be dammed if I've seen very many of those.

We really aren't arguing with each other, but over each other. Yes, women are the majority of victims, and yes, I'd love to see more articles that pay homage to all victims. However, accusing me "traipsing" is offensive. This is a forum for discussion, and berating a poster for voicing a valid opinion isn't…

This story is a case example of how stories about domestic abuse invariably only focus on women as the victims. It's about time we start having conversations about how there are others, besides women, who are victims. It's only fair and righteous.

It doesn't matter how large a segment, it's a segment, which means there are others who are victims.

I hate to pull out this cared, but let me put this to you starkly. Jews were once (and still are) a segment of the population in Europe. A very small segment. Does that make what happened to them 70 years ago "okay"…

That makes no sense. I'm certainly glad you don't get into a debate over the merits of testicular cancer affecting women, since only men have testicles.

Domestic violence however? It affects both women and men.

You can put your hands over your ears and eyes all day long, but it still won't avoid my point. The conversation about domestic violence has become so one-sided that it's left out a pretty large segment of society who are also being abused, but are conventionally discarded. Wrong is wrong, there's no getting around…

No posts were moved. Domestic violence is domestic violence, so let's have a conversation that involves everyone who are victims, instead of constantly only profiling one set of victims.

Why? Why does it have to focus only on women? Why can't it simply focus on domestic violence, period? Violence towards women, violence towards men, and violence towards children.

The topic has become so feminized, that the rest of society has become an afterthought.

It doesn't matter if it's 15, or 10, or 5, or whatever percent. What matters is that it's happening, and it's almost never discussed.

It should be. The discussion should be about men abusing women, women abusing men, men abusing men, women abusing women. But the way in which this topic is written about and discussed, it's almost always profiling men abusing women. That's not right, it's not just.

Did I say that men are just as abused as women? Pretty sure I did not. But there are unquestionably many men out there who are abused. They're rarely, if ever talked or written about. Why? Because, I suspect, it's not part of the narrative.

And you know this, how?

You, like many others who write about this subject, could have mentioned in passing abuse against men. Sure, 15% is a minority, but that still constitutes a heck of a lot of people, not withstanding the assumption that there are probably a lot of abused men out there that don't report the abuse out of shame or…

But within the context of spousal abuse, the focus is almost always entirely on women as victims. Sure, the vast majority of spousal victims are women - we can all agree on that, but this article serves as an example. Only women are mentioned, therefore, one reading the article would get the impression that men are…

I understand. Certainly though, there must be spousal abuse where the man is the victim, no? How much of that is simply never reported? I'm guessing there's a very high percentage, since men being men, even the thought of admitting that their wife/partner is beating them up would be far too embarrassing to mention to…

Still trying to fathom how an interference penalty could be assessed as a misconduct.

I appreciate the column, but let's not get rutted in the belief that only women are victims. Tell your story to someone whose wife was secretly abusing their young child for years before it was discovered.

Tell that to me.

Swords are upright. Who's gonna fall to save Roger?
