Press Release Summary = When we think of victims of abuse, who do we think of first? Who do we normally think of as the abuser? Well if you said women are the victims and men are the abuser, you would be right...about half the time. By ignoring male victims, more women are harmed in the long run. We can only work on this problem by looking at BOTH sides

A woman stands up to her husband finally...after years and years of being abused. She faces him and tells him that she wants her freedom...next thing she knows he is so angry...she fears that he will do something out of extreme anger, and hides under the bed...in fear she hears his menacing tone as he says \"get out from under that bed you Bi___!\"
Is this abuse?
Would you call 911?
My impression on that situation is that most people would not call 911, and would in fact laugh at this situation right?
I say that because I got a joke via email the other day, here is the joke
\"A man and his friends were talking at the golf course, and Fred could not believe that Ted was allowed to go golfing with his buds on this day...out of the jostling, he asks Ted how he accomplished such a task...Ted says \"I finally took a stance, and told Amy what is going to be...I told her I was going out and that was the final say in this situation\" Fred then asked what Amy said in response to which Ted replied \"Get out from under that bed you Son of a Bi___\"
Is this abuse?
Would you call 911?
A woman fears her husband daily now, because during their marriage she knows that he has taken whatever is in his hands, and struck her with it in the past out of anger...today she came home from grocery shopping and he had a rolling pin in his hands...if he hit her with it would that be abuse?
Apparently not... according to all the jokes I have heard regarding a female lying in wait with a rolling pin for her husband it is not abuse, and a rolling pin is just another comedic implement in which to beat someone as a joke
What if a guy took a cast iron skillet to his partner? According to jokes flying around the net, this is not abuse either since a cast iron skillet does not hurt men when they are hit with them...they too are just another way to have some fun...
Hi there, my name is Tami Pepperman. I am a Victim Advocate, and the majority of my clientele base is battered men. I am asking that you please contact everyone you know, and let them know about domestic violence against men. I am asking that we implement June as Domestic Violence Against Men Awareness Month...so that we can get the needed help where it belongs.
So many people have a swayed view of men being the only group of people that are able to abuse, and that is not the truth at all...Men are being battered daily. Young men are being raped, and abused and people are accepting this!
Did you all see American Pie? Wasn\'t that the most hilarious thing you ever saw????? That part about Stifler\'s mom having sex with that boy is just the bomb! What if Stifler\'s dad raped and molested one of the teenage girls in that movie? Would that have been just as funny?
Maybe you are in the older generation...Porky\'s was a great movie too! Wasn\'t that part about the male child sticking his penis through the girl\'s shower so funny? And then when that female teacher grabbed a hold of it...omg I thought I would bust a gut! I wonder if it would have been just as funny had a male teacher fondled one of the female students...
Did you all see Birth? That sad one about Nicole Kidman being a widow, and thinking that a ten year old boy was the incarnation of her dead husband? I thought it was just so emotional when she french kissed that ten year old actor....when anyone tried to explain that that was against the law...they said that that ten year old was an ACTOR...I guess it is not molestation, and corrupting a minor as long as the child is an actor...because after all, actor children can consent better than \"regular\" children right?
We cannot promote this acceptance of abuse against males anymore...I implore you all to rise above this, and do something...Provide advocacy for those in need! Don\'t turn your backs, turn it in...call 911, or someone to help a battered man or male child who is being abused...Humans are being conditioned to accept this type of behavior....through the media, and jokes...it has become such a norm that it is not even noticed!
Make June, Domestic Violence Against Men Awareness Month
