This is intresting but doesn't alarm me to be honest. I think the main difference is that most people see that women when abused by men are powerless physically to defend themselves where as are men are simply emotionally powerless and could if they wanted to physically defend themselves.
I did look don't think anyone has posted this.

Was going to post this but it os so sad that people fail to realise men can get abuse. The reactions from the public does not surprise me but does depress me.
Why?
abused sexually
People don't also realise that same sex relationships can have domestic abuse too. That's also undereported. Well all types of abusers are
If he wants it to happen, it isn't abuse.
Or is this some joke I'm not getting?
The second one.
So the joke is, he wants some woman to abuse him sexually?
Well, that sounds hilarious, maybe you and him should tour the club circuit with it.
Ok, er yeah, maybe...
*Backs slowly away from thread*
Yeah, leave this one to the adults.
Has this ad gone out on tv?
I could see the feminist lobby not being happy with it and fighting that.
The problem seems that we always focus on Men hitting women or Women hitting men. When in fact a human being hitting another human being is what we should be promoting as being unacceptable.
At this time in our civilisation as a society we seem very confused as to where Equality starts and men and women's actual differences begin.
Although it is wrong for a woman to hit a man I could just never ever imagine someone going up to the abusive woman and confronting her the way they did the man.
Very strange dilemma indeed.
Is it down to genetics.
Caveman/woman instincts.
The media.
what are the reasons it is acceptable for a woman to strike a man ?
Even in my own mind even though I am aware of how wrong it is.
I find it more uncomfortable watching a man physically abuse a woman.
How messed up is that.
I do wonder if there’s an element of people not wanting to emasculate the man by intervening.
I remember watching Corrie years ago when Mike Baldwin had just discovered Linda had been sleeping with his son and he slapped her and I remember being quite shocked. The number of times that a woman slapped a cheating spouse though and it didn’t bother me at all. I can't justify it logically but I assume it's social conditioning.
The reaction from the passers by was disgusting. Those laughing are moronic cretins who must have left their brains at home. They wouldn't have been laughing if I was there. There seems to be this ridiculous way of thinking that only women can be abused and not men. Absolutely amazing that no one even asked why she was attacking him for.
If we're playing that game, less confrontation and more patience please. Aggressive tone reinforces resistance to changing one's mind, it's counter productive.
What a stupid thing to say >:(
I'm a feminist so presumably part of this 'lobby'......err with a brother in an abusive relationship so of course I am going to 'fight' an ad that promotes that it is just as unacceptable to be violent to men????
Any opportunity to turn this into a gender war eh?
You beat me to it, I was about to comment the same
Look, enough already with posters suggesting I form some kind of bizarre comedy double act.
A bit like Bobby Davro, I'm a one man show. :cool:
I suspect we'd have seen everyone pile in again and get involved.
Shocking video, but, as has been said, not surprising. Violence is wrong full stop, regardless of who starts it.
...what the?
