Search Results: domestic violence

In general I feel men are pressured by society to NOT speak their minds about the issues they have about women publicly. If you don’t believe me then just see how often women post openly on social media about their relationship anger, frustrations, heartbreak, “sexism”, etc vs. how often men do it. However internally men feel all the exact same negative emotions but we are trained not to express them. It’s one of the reasons you see guys writing and posting more on GAG. The anonymity gives us a safer place to ventilate.

There are a few reasons why men are more restrained. Part of it is due to some of us being raised to be chivalrous to women. Unfortunately some women see this as weakness and take advantage of guys who instinctively treat women well. Also feminist propaganda says that a man expressing anger (verbally) is “threatening” and “words can be violence”. When it comes to heartbreak we get far less leeway to look like “bitches”. We train ourselves not to cry.

But seriously if men were allowed to speak their minds (including anger) it would actually be a safer way to ventilate. There would be less REAL violence, less depression, less substance abuse, etc. Just because a guy is pissed off it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have self restraint to not take things over the line.

Seems like domestic abusers and rapists hate women just as much as racists hate POC.

Another user asked a question about whether it was ever okay to slap a boyfriend or girlfriend

Is it okay to slap your boyfriend when mad or is that considered domestic violence?

so I started wondering about how often that happens. Have you ever done it? If you did, why?
