But IT, are you sure that men are more victims of violence?  I knew exactly the contrary. At least here in Europe, don't know elsewhere. |
If you are talking about Domestic Violence/Abuse/Assault, Bea Flower, then the statistics I know about defintely agree with you. I don't know about reliable statistics for over-all injury & death via other forms of violence, but it seems logical that in general,perhaps more males die in random street violence, gang-type activity, and violence during crime. I don't know the stats, as I said.
Whatever the case, I don't personally think it behooves anyone in general to do too much of crying "victim!" because of one gender or the other. Let me tell you, the Domestic Violence Shelter I volunteered at, and the other things I got involved with (going to court as special advocate, et al) made me cast a very jaundiced eye upon males for a number of years. But the truth is that the genders are equally capable of disrespecting each other --- it's the tactics that seem different.
Just my opinion, IT. Women generally are "better" at some things, men at others (I will never have my fiance's upper body strength f.e. , lol -- but then I'll never have Serena Williams' either, heh
).
Peace to you,
