Anyone can be a victim of domestic violence whether male or female. It's so awry to see that each time the a use of a male is being discussed, it often considered a joke or less of an abuse. Truth is that both make and female do experience abuses.
There is no gain saying that one out of every seven males of about 18+ years have been a used around the globe. They have been victims of rape or other physical violence by their intimate partners. Some have been stalked by their par partners over time which is considered the new normal.
One video that went viral a couple of weeks ago, had a lady called her friend who had been engaged to a guy for being unfaithful. The lady angry appeared in the location where her guys car was parked and angrily broke the screen only to find the guy eating his lunch during the hour. He felt violated. And the lady, Anne could not believe that it was a wrong alert, went ahead to check the trunk of the car and found nothing. That was a violent attack, on a guy you haven't been married to, who's privacy should be trampled.
Domestic violence against men can't easily be detected but could pose a heavy treat.
The stereotype on the male gender being strong may be one reason why abuse on the male isn't making waves. Clinically speaking, the strength of an individual is not considered through gender but via individual immunity.
Some women could be stronger than men. You may wonder why the like of Randy Rousy in the WWE is considered boyish, her level of martial strength of course is a factor. Many more ladies could stand tall with a man in combat and even defeat them.
That goes to say that gender is not in total a true consideration for who may be abused.
As a male, if you have experienced or are experiencing any of these, believe me, you have been abused.
•Forced to have sex when you don't feel like doing so.
• Threatens you with a weapon no matter how little it is.
•Acts possessive or jealous and often accuses you of being unfaithful.
• Uses vulgar language or calls you name.
• Prevents you from going to work because of an unsettled domestic matter.
• Shoves, chokes, slaps, beats you, your pets or children.
• Threatens to report your sexual escapades to the larger community as a result of a disagreement.
There many more issues that be referred to as violence against the male gender. In all, you should not only try to guard you rights as citizen of the community you emerge from you should seek to be safe in such circumstances too.
