What is male abuse?

Answer 1

* Most talk is about abused women, but now the medical profession has found that there is 'male abuse.' Most men are brought up to never hit a woman (and most don't.) Some women can be just as nasty as male abusers and control their spouse. Verbal abuse would be to put her spouse down by saying such things as: 'You'll never get anywhere in your life,' what woman would ever want you!' Many men don't like confrontation with a woman or women and try to avoid it (smart!) The male will take the verbal abuse. In some cases the female verbal abuser will save the best abuse in the privacy of their own home and act totally different to their spouse when out in public to make it look like all is well between them, but every so often a woman may bring her verbal abuse along with her to harass her spouse out in public. Women can also use physical abuse (more common than you think) by slapping a man's face for no reason; kicking; scratching; biting or throwing things at him or hitting him with any object she can find around the house. More often than people think men will cover up the bite marks; scratches; bruises, but sometimes the males come to work with black eyes; a tooth missing or split lip. The male will laugh it off and generally say he fell or had a fight with another male. Abused males fear criticism by their family and friends and fear they will not be believed because physically men are stronger than women and thus, they hide their misery and put up with the abuse (some abused men will leave the relationship and move on.) It wasn't until the last eight to ten years that programs for abused men were setup and more and more abused males are coming out of the closet so to speak and seeking help from these programs. No one; spouses; friends; parents; children or the elderly should ever be subjected to verbal or physical violence.
