Who lies more about physical and mental abuse, men or women?

Why would a man ever lie about that? No one would care anyway. He would just get roasted for being a wimp.

Thanks for MHO!

I think women

Men lie about inflicting physical
Women lie about about recieving it

Women lie about delivering mental
Men lie about recieving it

Physical abuse is legally actionable; mental abuse is not, for the most part, and certainly not if a man complains about it from a woman.

Therein lies the very important difference.

[msc545]

Okay, I'm going to modify that last answer. Just a little bit. Physical abuse is legally actionable if a man does it to a woman. If a woman does it to a man, it becomes very questionable as to whether or not police or prosecutors will do anything about it. Generally speaking they will not if it isn't too severe.

Alleged mental abuse when the woman is the one complaining about it. Will be actionable by both police and possibly by prosecutors if it can be proven to any extent or the woman as a sympathetic victim.

Alleged mantle abuse by men when the woman is supposed perpetrator will be laughed at and ignored by police. It will really never get to prosecutors at all. Unless of course it's something like provable repeated death threats or the like.

A woman who alleges that a man is threatening her or frightening, her will generally be taken seriously by police and the man will be arrested. The man may very well be prosecuted forthis, particularly of its repetitive or provable.

In summary, offenses committed against women by men are taken seriously by prosecutors and police more often than not.

Offenses against men by women are generally not taken seriously either by police or prosecutors unless they are extremely serious and very provable.

I think this goes more to the character of a person not necessarily their gender. There are all kinds of manipulative people of differing levels. It's not that think women would do this more. I just think the opportunity would present itself more. A woman that is at least marginally attractive knows some guy will listen to her sob story. The same cannot be said for a man.

Lies to whom? The cops?

[msc545]

I mean, why do the cops all the time about men threatening them, injuring them, or doing something they don't like..

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

uh come again, I think there is a missing verb in that sentence, I don't get it

[msc545]

Yeah, I saw that sorry. It should say: "Women lie all the time to the cops about men supposedly threatening them and abusing them when it never happens."

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

In that case, this question becomes a matter of research into databases, courts and police reports... It's too much work to me for a g@g question

[msc545]

This would indeed involve a great amount of work. That being said, the consequences of this kind of behavior are very severe for men.

[RedInnocent69]

That’s a tough one. I’m confident the preponderance of abuse is against women, but that also suggests the absolute number of lies are made by women 🤔

[msc545]

I think the preponderance of mental abuse is against men from women.

[RedInnocent69]

Perhaps, but that presupposes that women are smarter than men to be able to manipulate them and enable the abuse; a contention few men that complain about women would admit 🤔

[msc545]

The preponderance of physical abuse is against women, but the preponderance of mental abuse and financial abuse is against men.

[msc545]

Now I just think women have more time than men do to dream up ways of retaliating in a non-physical way. Women also have the advantage of being able to complain to the authorities and be believed, whereas when men complain to the authorities, they're lucky if they don't get arrested for making a complaint in the first place.
