Men Can Be Victims of Abuse Too
Date: April 26, 2022 (Tuesday)
We are living in a world where we do a lot of ways in order to protect women against male abusers. But don't you know that men can be victims of abuse, too?
It's indeed rare to find men being abused by women because what's being broadcasted all around the world are the cases from different women being abused by men. Most of them are being abused by people close to them or also called as Domestic Violence.
What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic Violence is a kind of violence wherein someone is being abused by another person close to them such as their partners, ex-partners, or even family members.
You see, we heard a lot of stories from different people who are being abused by their family members, or partners. Some of them just remain quiet even if they are being abused for some reason.
Here are some of the reasons:
Love
Some people who are being abused especially by their partners never speak up about getting abused because of love. The love that they have for the other person is much greater than the pain that he/she has gained from the abuser. All he/she could think of is that, he/she can't bear to lose the love of his/her life.
Afraid/Threatened
There are also other people who chose not ro speak up because they are afraid or threathened. They are afraid that something might happen if they speak up, or they are afraid because they are being threatened by the abuser. You see, if someone will feel this way, they will just chose to stay quiet as they feel like no one can ever protect them from the situation they are in.
Hoping They'll Change
Some also hope that the other person will change. They are hopeful that one day, the abuser will realize that what he/she is doing is something bad. In short, the one being abused is still hopeful that things will get better in no time and the abuser will stop abusing him/her.
Accepts His/Her Fate
Some of the one being abused just accepts their fate and never dare to speak up about it. They are also the ones who don't want to make things complicated and accept that this is what his/her fate will be.
Those are the general reasons why people just remain silent even if they are abuse.
Not to mention, it's just sad to note when men report that they are being abused, some don't listen to their plea, instead they are being stereotype for speaking up. The sad part is that, the women abusers tend to get out from the abuse situation as they can just fabricate stories that they are the ones being abused and not the men. Almost all the men who are being abused also chose to be abused by their partners for some reasons as well.
Respect
These men who tend to get abused chose to be abused out from respect that they have towards their partners. Growing up, these people knew that they should respect their partners and never lay a hand to them in someway. These men are actually the ideal ones, but they are also prone to getting abused because of the kindness that they share and the respect that they have for women.
Love
Again, because of love, men chose to accept the pain from being abused because they love their partners so much. They don't care if will go through a lot of pain, as long as their partners will stay on their side, then they are happy with that. Losing them is what they are most afraid than getting hurt.
Closing Thoughts
It's just sad to know that a lot of people have experienced domestic violence. The pain that the have felt from the hands of the abusers are truly traumatic. I hope that these abusers will be enlightened on the path that they are taking. I hope they will open their eyes towards the path without violence and pain. I hope they will be able to see how worthy their partners are and how mean it is to abuse them. I hope so.
We should always open our minds that in our generation today, not only women get domestic violence, men can experience it too. So let's listen to the men's plea as well whenever we hear about them being abused. As other women have the ability to do it too.
Above all, let's all hope and pray that these violence will be put into end so that everyone will be able to live i peace and harmony without the fear of being harmed.

One toxic aspect of “Feminism” is how it sees “women” to be always right, or superior than “men”.
If a woman hurts a guy, people don't care, and, at at some point, they care about the girl more than the boy. But if a man hurts a woman, he is then regarded as a criminal and evil. This leads to the point where, people can't recognize that men also have feelings. Others even laugh at men who experience abuses such as sexual abuse. I really hope that we can all remove these toxic mindset
Thank you for opening this up!
