I would like to thank you for your article. I have been searching for statistics concerning male abuse for a college paper. I have been a victim most of my life. I agree with you that ‘Personality disorder ‘ is common, but in both male and females. Abuse is a combination of many factors, both sociological and psychological. A lot more research needs to be done. The true facts are not there or are being covered up. We need to stop looking at this as a male/female problem and instead as a human problem. One thought, how many men are convicted of abuse that really were the victim? Law enforcement nearly always sides with the woman, whether its the truth or not!

The reason you do’t see a men’s refuge house is because there AREN’T many. Men are not considered to “need” one. After all, men have it all, right? Money, power, etc? Except that men are humans too…and hurting men need just as much assistance as hurting women. Problem is, there’s not much out there. Thank goodness for DAHMW!

Not always true. And NOT an excuse we would tolerate from MEN who abuse. We really need to get beyond the gender issue. Men are abused just as severely as women. Women are abused just as severely as men. Might be in different ways. But abuse is WRONG! It shouldn’t depend on whether you’re a man or a woman as to if you qualify for help or not!

@ Khamsek: Your statement is what is called a feminist come back.

As usual you tried to blame the article as being one sided but in reality feminism has permeated our societies so deeply there are hardly resources to help our men.

Thirdly, to assert that women have it worse is extremely bias and unreasonable.

In closing, I do not think the article is bias, I think it echoes the voice for men who are not given one at all.

Thank you writer of this wonderful article.
