My Little Pony:Its always the stallion's fault...

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 1:17 am

My told me when I was young, "The wife/girlfriend etc is right, even when she's not." I didn't realize what that meant until I actually met my beautiful fiance. It's ingrained in our culture; men are the stronger protective gender, and it's his fault if something goes wrong. Facts back this up for the most part; 95% of all relationship abuse is husband/boyfriend on wife/girlfriend. There are far more single mums than single dads.

I'm not saying I totally agree with the 'man is always wrong' assumption, but more often than not, it's true, sadly.

If a guy leaves a mother with children, he should try to atleast get joint custody. If he doesn't even try to take care of his kids or the woman he left on her own, hes a horrible person.
I grew up with a single mother. It is not easy. She had two kids to take care of and could barely make minimum wage, struggling with drug usage, etc. She had to work two jobs just to pay rent. Luckily my family took good care of me. Without them I'd probably be dead or homeless. My dad couldn't do anything because he was in jail until recently, but for someone who leaves their children voluntarily, they're scum.

It'd be different and if there was no children, I could see it then. But trust me, being a single mother is one of the hardest things ever.

I've seen it too, in real life, and it's not as simple as you think. Although the person I know was suffering psychological abuse, the abuser wouldn't let up even if she tried to break it off.

It's a constant cycle of abuse and deceptive love, and I guess their mentality is that they will eventually break that cycle. It's a terrible way to live, but the scum who treat people that way are the ones to blame.

I totally agree.

Uh---if a woman comes at he with a knife with the intent on harming me (chivalry aside) I have my right to defend myself :toughninja: .
Jesus, come on. Give me a little credit.

Common sense, man. I wouldn't think anyone would act "honorable" if a woman was coming at them with a gun. There are parameters to these things.

Nothing annoys me more than "the woman is always right" mentality. It might be that I have options, but, as for now, I won't surrender my dignity to keep a girl around. If you do or can, I pity you.

The woman is not always right, just like the man isn't always right. Humans are wrong 99.99% of the time. Wait, maybe I'm wrong.

People typically go to the girl's side because men are more often terrible people. That's just the way it is. I'm sure it is very upsetting to nice, respectful guys who never do anything wrong and whatever to experience this "discrimination" against their gender, but if you have a problem with it, don't blame the people that assume the guy did something wrong, blame the guys who do something wrong on a regular basis.

There are plenty of girls I know that I wish would stab their boyfriend in the back while he sleeps because he deserves it.

So many things to say to that. Not that women are any worse, its more of a human thing, no one gender is less hostile than the other.


And nothing but murder deserves murder. Killing isn't something to take lightly.

Men do commit most of the violent crime. People jump to conclusions, but it's not totally unfounded.

Sadly that is how the world works. Like that woman that drowned her five kids and everyone jumps to defend her "oh well she had postpartum depression so what she did was totally ok" I think it was the view or something that said that.
The pundits always say stuff like that no matter what the crime or atrocity, because the media needs to fill air time so they throw up talking heads to anolyze. "He had a bad childhood," "she was depressed," etc. But I didn't hear anyone defending that woman, or the woman who pushed her car into a lake with her kids in it. Most people demonized them as monsters. Let's not get carried away here.

It's not uncommon for girls to kill the guys for cheating. So yeah, that's my first thought.

If I've learned anything from this thread it's that women are obviously superior to men; thus there are just as many female serial killers as male serial killers, they just don't get caught.

If repeated cheating, or physical and emotional abuse is the reason why, it seems understandable but not justifiable. Otherwise... you know, it's an extreme thing to claim.

Shouldn't really judge her entirely based off of one comment, though. No matter how disappointing the comment was.

I know there are female serial killers. But I'd think there are more male serial killers than female ones. Come on, they would catch just as many if there were as much. Unless all female serial killers just evade capture magically.

Probably helps the person get mad and overpower the victim, but I doubt it starts the process. Otherwise the vast majority of us would be serial killers.

Now, if you excuse me, I need to go stalk the streets of London for uhm... beautiful sights.

Saddly I've seen this episode many, many, many-many times before on court shows, talk shows and Cops, some women who are in abusive relationships---usually stay in them, cause what's their excuses "But I love him" "Better then he hits me then our children" and so-on and so-on. I sorry to say this but women who are in these relationships who don't seek help or get out---I have no pity for 'em.
They're usually immature, stupid, and/or masochistic.

There's not much reason for a healthy normal girl to stay in a relationship like that,
unless she just really needs to grow up.

Cool victim blaming. You should probably try understanding why women have trouble leaving abusive relationships
