They don't care if male victims become their victims too, as long as they can keep their misogyny. It's disgusting.

No, it's not true, it's a lie. What would be the point of being an MRA? There is NO social benefit. Most of us found the MRM because we were being affected by the issues in the first. This is an ignorant and insulting take.

@@thomascarney569 Sadly a lot of men (not all, but a LOT) who call themselves "MRA" are just hating on women. How does that help anyone? If you fight for men's rights, you have my full support - just like he says in his video: Most women are absolutely on board to help men, especially male victims. But a lot of so called "MRA" is not about helping men. It is about taking rights from women, hating women, insulting women, degrading women and exploiting male victims for this. Tell me: Does that help anyone?

I think that the whole "you don't care about male victims" is a really flimsy psychic defense mechanism. In order to make the world look safe, normal, just, or predictable enough to not require any change, deflecting from the problem helps to justify inaction. They get to convince themselves there's nothing to be done, because nobody's doing the right thing their way. Its the same strategy used when people talk about doing shit about racism, only to get stonewalled by the "but why do we have to focus on Those People?" Argument

I am a male victim. All of my family (including extended family) insists that I am lying. They do not want to admit that anyone in my family (particularly brother) is an abuser. But they also refuse to admit that he beat his wife who was in a wheel chair. Apparently it is more important to present to the world that they are wholesome, spiritual, god fearing, evangelical christians.

And when a man who is also a victim of abuse or SA speaks up, those men who use them as an example quickly try and shut them up. Almost like they don't care about other men or anyone but themselves... So they can't come in with that high ground contrairianism and attack someones experience without being completely in the wrong. When I explain my experience and state the truth that it's bad no matter who it happens to and how often. I will get other men looking for cracks to get chance at blaming anything other than the perpetrator. Or themselves for defending the indefensible.

Yes!! My cousin was physically injured by his crazy ex partner who even tried to argue that he couldn't have any custody of their child because he has a pace maker. As soon as their kid was allowed to have his own lawyer and refuted her claims that my cousin beat their child, she didn't want the child any longer! She pays child support and doesn't want him at all. Yeah, men can be victims of domestic violence and other crimes as well at the hands of women, but talking about female victims doesn't erase that at all.

Thank you Thank you Thank you. Why is it that the people who have never been victims of DV or SA are full of more hate & anger than actual victims? They have the victim mindset without the trauma. How they still expect empathy be shown to them, when they feel none for actual victim's. When they say women are more violent than men, men are just better at it, you know you're dealing with s whole new level of ignorance

Hmm I have a sneaking suspicion you wanted to say something a little more spicy and short then that final statement. Every time I see anyone talking about female victims regardless of the perpetrators sex or gender identity, without question some guy comes along with "wElL wHaT aBoUt MaLe ViCtImS!". Well if you're so concerned about male victims why aren't you looking up stats/research/survivor stories from men and just here complaining about research/stats focusing on women instead? I'm so sorry you not only have your own stories but that your story gets downplayed and dismissed by these people who seem so hellbent on claiming they care about you. Stay strong friend and thank you for your education in this space, the more positive male role models we have the easier it will be to show how and why toxic masculinity is terrible and not that masculinity itself is toxic.

Back in 2018 I got out of an abusive relationship with a woman, and at the time I was still presenting as a man. I felt soo stuck, because the only advocacy I could find for “male” abuse victims was soo vial. And I didn’t what to be associated with people like that. So yeah I did feel shame and a sense of failure for “letting it happen to me”. But I couldn’t find any community to help me through that because the only people who looked like me at the time and were talking about it were not people I wanted to be associated with. Its soo hard to come to terms with things like this if you don’t have the language to articulate it, don’t have roll models of people who’ve been through it and come out the other side as someone you look up to. But anyway I went through a lot of therapy, and Ive had two more relationships with women since then that have both been wonderful and healing. I’m still with my girlfriend of 2 years now and our relationship is still incredible. And now I identify as a woman too. But it still upsets me how many men victims of dv must remain silent like I did because they couldn’t find any communities they felt comfortable joining and the only rhetoric they ever heard around this issue was vial and hateful. You can’t heal from trauma with anger and hate. It’s always going to be a part of the process, but you have to let go of it eventually to fully heal and live your life beyond then I’m soo glad to find men out there now talking about their experiences with dv with compassion and empathy and a genuine desire to help men victims.

The National Social Survey has a module on victimization, that includes questions on domestic violence. One of the questions asks why domestic violence victims don't go to the police. Male victims are far more likely than female victims to report that they believed their story would not be believed or that they would even be blamed for the abuse they suffered, so men who say "what about men" are not being unreasonable. We should ask "what about men" and keep asking it until men get treated equally to women.
