How could this happen? This is all a bunch of crap! you&#39;re right. ANd the person who posted this previous comment. Women are physically weaker and thus more susceptible to physical injury than men. <br /><br />Women are fightless, too weak to escape her husband&#39;s wrath. Crap! if you were to ask me, those women choose their own path. They choose to stay in an abusive relationship more often than not. It&#39;s either because of the kids, or they&#39;re scared shitless of their partners. Damn! What&#39;s lacking in this country is help - direct help and enforcement of laws. If a woman goes to a police to file a complaint, more often than not that woman wouldn&#39;t have another place to stay in, or money of her own, to live an independent life. She doesn&#39;t have a choice but to go back - then the cycle continues. What we need is quick response. And education. That is the key! Damn all these artists, ambassadors shit! They should help and goddamn ACT! We&#39;ve had enough of their senseless babbles! Show us what you got!<br /><br />As for men, dude, you got a long and bumpy way ahead of you. I hope you get all the hope that you need. Thank you for your effort in raising more awareness about this issue. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151029518219884330.post-20386748842937652242009-04-29T17:02:00.000-07:002009-04-29T17:02:00.000-07:00I agree with you that domestic violence is not a gender issue. I myself have seen how husbands are verbally abused by their wives. The verbal abuse sometimes escalates to physical fight and worse to serious injuries. <br /><br />The reason why men as you have claimed are not protected against domestic violence is probably due to the fact that women are relatively physically weaker than men. A wife may punch or kick her husband but the husband could always escape the blows. Whereas, if you hit a woman, the blow will land exactly where it is intended. In other words, as far as physical injury is concerned, women are more susceptible to it than men.<br /><br />Nonetheless, domestic abuse is not only physical but also verbal and either or both can happen to either the wife or the husband. And I guess both need protection from this painful reality inside the home. Maybe it is your turn to fight for men this time, because these women have taken the cudgels for the abused women. <br /><br />Our culture looks at the Padre de Pamilya as the head of the family. He is powerful and plays the role of the boss at home. Since it is expected that husbands should live up to their roles seldom do we notice the predicament they face when challenged by their wives.<br /><br />So, men, it's your turn to voice out and tell the world that you also need protection from your cantankerous wives that drive you crazy all the time.
