Abused Men
Instances of men being abused by their partner – physically, emotionally or even sexually – are as prevalent as women abuse. Unfortunately, many of these cases go unreported because male victims have to contend with social standards of men being the abuser.

Can a man be sexually abused by a woman?
Yes, although it is less likey to happen than a man sexually abusing a woman. It is possible though, this can be done in many ways such as using Viagra and things similar to make the man sexually arounsed to then lead to the woman taking complete advantage of him.
How much money do the workers in sweatshops get paid?
One would think Sweatshops were in Third World countries, but they are also in the backyards of the U.S. and Canada. U.S. Firms and their subcontractors are to blame for many of the Sweatshops especially in the garment industry. What this does is take away jobs from the U.S. and Canada. Example: If you are in the garment industry it is cheaper to have the clothes made in places like China among other countries for extremely poor wages and miserable working conditions. The Firms charge the U.S. or Canadian consumer high prices and make billions of dollars off the the mistreatment of sweatshop workers.
Sweatshops are characterized as places of employment that have low pay, poor working conditions and long hours and often times abusive bosses. Sweatshops are in most countries, but you only hear about a very few. Some of the countries are:
- Mexico - $3 per day in U.S. Funds!
- Bangladesh $0.13 per hour in U.S. Funds
- China - $0.44 per hour in U.S. Funds
- Costa Rica - $2.38 per hour in U.S. Funds
- Dominican Republic - $1.62 per hour in U.S. Funds
- El Salvador - $1.38 per hour in U.S. Funds
- Haiti - $0.49 per hour in U.S. Funds
- Honduras - $1.31 per hour in U.S. Funds
- Indonesia - $0.34 per hour in U.S. Funds
- Nicaragua - $0.76 per hour in U.S. Funds
- Vietnam - $0.26 per hour in U.S. Funds
The economic way of thinking views sweatshops in which both workers and employers gains when they enter into a labor contract no matter how low the wages may seem to external observers. Of course this is not true and it's good for the Firms of the products, but never good for the employee. In most of the sweatshop countries they live on less than $1.00 - $2.00 per day. If this were the case of sweatshop workers getting good pay then hoards of Mexicans wouldn't be trying to cross deserts (often dying in the process) to get across the U.S. Border to try and make a better life for themselves and their families. There have been many documentaries on this very problem on TV. Fortunately, not all economists support sweatshops.
Countries with Sweatshop environments that allegedly make U.S. Brand Names:
- Bangladesh (2004) Mary Kate & Ashley .18 p/hr.
- Burma (2004) NBA .14 p/hr.
- China (2004) NFL/NBA/MLB .165 p/hr.
- China (1997) Nike 1.75 p/hr.
- Costa Rica (1998) Rawlings Baseball 1.15 p/hr.
- El Salvador (2001) Gap .55 p/hr.
- Haiti (1996) Disney .28 p/hr.
- Honduras (2003) P. Diddy .75 p/hr.
- Honduras (1996) Levis & Nike 5.40 p/day
- Honduras (1996) Wal-Mart/Kathie Lee .31 p/hr.
- Indonesia (2002) Nike 2.46/p day
- Nicaragua (2000) Kohl's Dept. Stores 3.00 p/day
- Vietnam (2004) NBA .15 p/hr.
- Vietnam (2000 Nike 564 p/year
- Vietnam (1997) Nike 1.60 p/day
Note: Nike's employees in Indonesia receive free health care and meals in addition to their wages. Some other countries also give additional benefits, but very few. Often the information retained for statistics is false and given by the people involved that stand to make the most money for their product.
The apparel industry has drawn attention from the press because they use Third World countries to make their products. They have low wages by U.S. standards.
It is up to the U.S. or Canadian consumer to decide if they want to keep sweatshops going in their own countries or other countries (many are Third World Countries) or to refuse by not buying their products.
- The above is true, but here is the real problem. In Canada the Asians are buying up more homes, malls, etc. They raise the rents of the stores pushing out the owners. We see one shop after the other moving out of our malls. It's wonderful to say buy Canadian, but just try to find something that is not made in China. If you are very lucky to find something made it Canada it costs far more. What is wrong with this picture? What is made in your own country should be cheaper and when exported to other countries it should be at a higher price.
What is the statistic of women who abuse men?
- There are no true statistics of women who abuse men because decent men who know they shouldn't hita woman or be verbally abusive back to their spouse do not report abuse as often as women for fear that they will be labeled as being weak. Men don't talk to other male friends about being abused as most men think they should be able to handle a woman. Easier said than done!
What is the last episode of gumus?
The last episode of Gumus aired on June 16th, 2007. It was a show that aired in Turkey, and the final episode of the series did not have a title.
What are the statistics for abused men?
It's only been in the past few years that the battered male syndrome has gotten serious attention. The latest percentage of battered men was placed at approximately 36% or roughly 835,000 of the 2.3 million abuse cases reported yearly. Researchers believe that those figures are far from accurate for the obvious reason that most men are very reluctant to admit they have been victims of abuse.

Why after all this time do you feel as low again as you did 8 years ago?
I was deeply in love with a women some 8 years ago now, who for two years mentally abused me, she would say and do the most horrendous, hurtful things, and frequently lie to me. when I asked her to stop, she would claim I liked her to treat me that way, and that I was unstable and sick. Here is an example of how far she could go : Although she had children from her first Marriage she had subsequently had three abortions with different boy friends whom she had been seeing in between her husband and me. whilst I was with her she informed me I had got her pregnant, but it was ectopic. I was at my wits end with worry about her. When she went into hospital she forbid me to go with her, telling me I could visit the following day, giving me strict times that I could visit, saying her friends and family would be visiting her at other times and the hospital would only allow two visitors at any one time. I was told if I did not stick to these visiting times she would end her relationship with me, something she knew would destroy me. Some months after she finally dumped me for another guy. A mutual friend told me later that she had been seeing somebody else at the same time as the ectopic pregnancy, and she had in fact, fallen pregnant to him not me, and he had been at the hospital with her for the operation and also all the times I was not allowed to visit. I was distraught and severally Traumatized by the whole relationship. After a considerable time of deep grief. I finally realized something was wrong with me to have put up with it for so long, so I sought help, and through therapy, and plenty of reading matter tackled the co-dependant problem I had. Although I still have huge trust issues and now have a slight social phobia problem, I did stabilize, and put the whole sorry episode behind me. Until a few weeks ago, I bumped into another friend of hers and she told me she had been seeing some guy for two years or more now and that later this year she is getting married to him. Since then I have spent hours chewing over in my mind, why someone like that can go on to live happily ever after, whilst I am left still unattached and have a fear of becoming emotionally attached to anyone. On hearing such news I feel guilty, for not being happy for her, instead I'm feeling such terrible sadness. It almost makes me feel that maybe she was correct when she told me I was the one with all the problems. So why now, after all this time do I feel as low again as I did 8 years ago ?
Do abusers use both physical and sycological abuse?
Yes, They must feel that they are in control and be the one in power. You can't repeatedly abuse someone unless you have them totally in your control, if you can control someone's mind, then you can control them physically. Sad but true. If you are in an abusive situation, talk to someone that you trust and get out.
Why do women return to men who abuse them?
Women are a very difficult concept to understand, i say that being one myself, but it is true. A woman that return to an abusive husband are not easily able to let go. Its hard to leave a loved one that may have cheated on you, and same goes for a loved one hitting/beating you. Love can be bad and it can be good. We, as women cannot control the type of men we love, and me sometimes make the wrong choices, and sometimes we don't even realize it until its almost too late, however, we love them so we tell ourselves that they may change eventually, and keep making up excuses for them that way you don't seem to tell yourself that its them that is the problem or has the problem. Its hard to let someone go after so so much love and so much time and effort put into the relationship that you may look over it, because of the love you have for them. Love-Kristin D. I think the codependent thing is a myth, at least for most women. I got sucked in to a relationship with an N as a financially secure, independent woman. He was absolutely charming at first! It took some time for the abuse to begin, but it was executed bit by bit until there were more bad times than good. It happened gradually. Hey, the last thing a woman needs to hear is that this stuff is somehow her fault, like she asked for it or something. All women are not suckers, sorry.
It was very interesting short story. Relationship is dependent on each other that is how it is evaluated.
You should give him 1 more chance

Can men who abuse their spouses change?
I will never say anything is impossible. I will say...most people don't change too easily. Abuse of a spouse is a power thing...and the desire for the same level of power will always be there. Once someone has crossed the boundaries into the disrespect it takes to abuse someone else...it's very hard to go back. No matter how hard one tries. Past instances I've seen show...even if the abuser tries hard to change...and is on their best behavior for a while...they will eventually go back to abusive practices.
I agree with the previous response. Anyone can change but it takes a GREAT deal of work, honesty within yourself and the ability to face the truth of what type of person you are. People do not change without real work whether they are abusive or not. It is only when the abuser sees how destructive their pattern of relating is can change occur. They have to stop traveling the smooth road of denial and turn onto the rough terrain of accountability. God Bless
Depends what are the cause and source of the abuse. If the abuser suffers from a personality disorder, for instance, the prognosis is poor.
Well I shamefully admit that I was an abuser. I emotionally and verbally abuser her for most of our 5 yr marriage. She left me and at the time I had no idea the level of abuser I was. I love her very much and still do. I was so ashammed of what I had been like toward her. First things first, to answer the question.....YES...but it does take a great deal of effort and desire. I have been involved with several group and one on one therapy sessions. I have dropped my pride and really allowed myself to become vulverable. It has been the most painful experience of my life. Thing is, I will continue to learn,grow,change,develope, and become a much better man, father, husband, and son. I am ashammed of the attitudes and behaviours I demonstrated towards her. I have only myself to blame and knowing this I wanted to change for me.I will pray,hope, and maybe with time will be given the opportunity to regain her love and trust. I never meant to be that way, I honestly didn't know how or why I was being. When I discovered it, I fell to the floor and cried like a baby, even after she left. I couldn't believe I had been so cold and demanding. If a man is sorry and really allows therapy to sink in, YES change is possible. My only question is......."is it too late for her to ever love and or trust me again?"
Write a c program to display 1 4 9 16..100?
#include
main(){
int i = 0;
int counter = 1;
while(i <= 100){
i = counter*counter;
counter++;
printf("The value of i is:%d\n", i);
}
exit(0);
}
END CODE
I think this should work and display the results in the terminal. I haven't tried it though, so it might not work.
Answer:#includeint main (void) { puts ("1 4 9 16..100"); retun 0; }
What do you call a person who reads into something then applies it to who you are?
There are all sorts of names you could call a person like this (and not so nice names too. LOL) This person could be anything from paranoid, narcissistic, self indulgent, arrogant, insecure or needs a good psychiatrist. Some people go through life thinking they know all about each person around them and don't mind telling that person so. Of course it's impossible to know another person 100% when you can't even know yourself 100%. This person is usually the type that doesn't take it slow and realize there are two sides to every story and starts to second-guess another persons actions. My philosopy in life is "if you are around a person that makes you feel bad more times than they make you feel good it's time to either have a good talk to them and be blunt about how you feel and they start changing or, walk away from them because they will only drain you of your energy and there will be nothing left for yourself or anyone else.
Unfortunately not much.
If you talk to your uncle things might get more dangerous between the two.
You should try to get the grown ups, like parents or other uncles and aunts with a more stable life to talk to the uncle about the situation. if they don't want to, then wait a lot before talking to the uncle about how he can change things, like seek counselling for married couple.
Transcoding information from linear to non linear?
It is picking up key information from a paragraph to a graphic visual organizer like diagrams, flow charts, grids or tables. It is one way o improvising the things we read, summarizing it by paraphrasing for us to understand better and easier.
- The question is, 'why do you feel you deed to give him proof?' He is the one who is bisexual; cheating and lying and you need to mature pretty fast because the relationship you have it not a relationship at all. Good relationships are about good communication skills; loyalty; honesty; caring and loving and you have none of that. Instead of trying to prove yourself to him kick this guy to the curb. There is someone out there in your future that is special and that you should be with.
What are the qualities needed by a teenager to make fro happy?
I believe that your question should read "What can cause a teenager to become unhappy?" If this is correct then here I might make some suggestions.
1. Feeling unloved
2. Being neglected.
3. A feeling of worthlessness.
4. Slow in learning.
5. Peer pressure.
6. Argumentative parents.
7. Picked on by siblings.
8. Being an only child.
There can be many more reasons for a child's unhappiness. The most important I have put at the top of my short list.
Respectfuly.
If man is overprotective does that mean he loves you?
He probably does love you but he is insecure himself. He will have to get over that or it will always be this way. I was in a relationship like that for 15 years and to this day if we go some where that we both will be, like to a family funeral he is still over protective. He tries to tell me that I have a mental issue and he wants to make sure I am alright in front of other people. I do fight depression but nothing like he acts. He is so insecure that it ran me away from him. He is the one that needs some mental help.
Why did a husband have a right to hit his wife in the 1800s's?
Wives were known as his property. He could do just about anything to her. As for me being a female Thank God things have changed. He would be in jail or beat.
