Women hitting guys. Why is it not a big deal?

Exactly!

I don't know why he did not call the police. Perhaps he maybe thinking that people would make fun of him.

That is a common fear. Guys don't want to be labeled as 'sissy'.

and it doesn't happen much in the philippines. i mean reporting assault.

I agree assault or violence whether it is man or woman whoever does it should be prosecuted for it. Otherwise they will go away scot free and continue to do the same. I think guy was right in fighting back in self defense. And he shouldn't be worried be called sissy for reporting the girl it will only make her better.

Amen TeresaK! I also hate when females use the excuse that men can't touch them as an excuse to their abuse towards males.

It always happens. These women are just opportunistic.

I will have to agree. assult is a crime no matter the sexs involved.

It's really not ok. I know the girl too. She really has those tendencies.

I totally agree~! Abuse is still abuse whether it was initiated from the man or the woman. It's a double standard world out there and I think guys who are abused should speak up. That woman needs to know that it's not right just because she's a girl! Like oneandonemakesix said, she just wants sympathy. After, people will always take the girl's side when it comes to abuse!

I agree with mean_queen

Abuse is abuse no matter who started it

Very well said...NOT a healthy relationship at all. He needs to just get away from her, and find someone who will treat him properly.

He already broke up with her. But the blame was all on him. I pity my friend. He chose the wrong girl to love.

If someone hits me I hit back, I never turn the other cheek. If a women would lay hands on me she would be sorry, I'd make sure she never forgets it.

It's a power game if you as a man let the woman get the upperhand, you'll lose all respect from that woman and the abuse will continue.

maybe he should love somebody else. maybe he should not look to far for that love. maybe that love is just under his nose the whole time. maybe you get my gist?;p

Speaking as a man who had to take a protection order against a violent and abusive wife, I can say that being a man at the wrong end of a domestic abuse case is as frustrating as being an ant at an elephants party.

To start with, there are very few facilities for abused men. Report to a councilor and you'll find that the world is full of shelters for abused women while none for men.

There is, as they say, a common assumption that men are the abusers while the women are the victims. When a woman starts screaming at a man for whatever reason, everyone assumes that the man must have done something to deserve it. When a man screams at a woman, he's automatically assumed to be an abuser.

Society has made it very clear that when a man even scratches a woman, he is automatically wrong. A woman can hit a man a thousand times but the moment he scratches her, everyone automatically forgives the thousand times he's been hit and demonizes him for the one time he's scratched her.

It's not like that here. Only a few guys complain. Their reputation as men would be ruined if people would know they are being hit by a woman.

yep, assault complaints are uncommon in the philippines. be it by a man or woman. if something like that happens, it's either the fight will stop or get bigger.

He has nowhere to go. He could not go without pushing her also.

Yeah. Both of them should be jailed. I think a fight won't start if one of them knows how to control.

Might be. But she didn't have to hit my friend.

Really? I never hit a guy before. But if its true. Why do women always appear as victims. You rarely see men complaining about being assaulted.

I don't know, I've pondered this often and the only explanation I can suggest is this. That is goes back to primitive instincts; men making light of attacks on them and both men and women having an instinct to be more protective and therefore concerned about attacks on women. Often in society the commonly accepted truths do not reflect reality. Certainly, violence against women feels more shocking

And possibly this also explains why people take the attitude that women hitting guys is not important.

You sure are a patient man.

But then the girl had a bruise in her arm because he grabbed her arm and pushed her away.
