no. . . .according to the females on here. . . .men don't suffer domestic abuse at all.
it's the odd exception - only 2% men suffer the abuse in contrast to 98% women.

Stop being deliberately obtuse jo, it doesn't suit you. . . who said men don't suffer domestic violence but to say the woman on man violence is anywhere close to the man on woman violence is asinine


DOMESTIC VIOLENCE STATISTICS


National
Domestic violence


One in four women (25%) has experienced domestic violence in her lifetime.


Estimates range from 960,000 incidents of violence against a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend to 3 million women who are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend per year.


Women accounted for 85% of the victims of intimate partner violence, men for approximately 15%.


Between 600,000 and 6 million women are victims of domestic violence each year, and between 100,000 and 6 million men, depending on the type of survey used to obtain the data.



Domestic violence homicides

On average, more than three women and one man are murdered by their intimate partners in this country every day.



And this is the US where they have enforceable laws. . . Can't imagine what the numbers are in Nigeria where the police tells a man he should beat his wife inside the house to avoid embarrassment.  cry cry

it's not asinine. . . .it depends on where you reside.
the truth is. . . .americans have always been violent - i cannot speak for the barbarians you feed in that country.

i can only speak for where i reside and that is what naijababe is telling you too.
in england, the ratio is 3:2, men : women. it is close!! very close.

and that is adding the fact that most men don't even report these things.

D ont know why any woman would hit a guy really. You can easily inject him randomly with a bubble in the bloodstream and no one will ever know how he died. beat ko hit ni. Plenty of ways I can kll you without ruining my nails. You lunatics, keep running your mouths.

I am not burying my head in the sand and  know that there are husband beaters; many of them too, but this partcular thread is focused on violence against wife's and what to do to assist these women

domestic violence is a 2-way thing.

one type of abuse precedes the other.
a woman with a caustic tongue gets slapped by her husband . . .she grabs her phone and call chaircover, and chaircover generally assumes men are monsters. . .

i believe the logical thing is to dissect what led to the slap. verbal abuse is a domestic abuse as well and it's wrong. . . .but most women especially those semi-illiterate nigerian women think only punches and kicks constitute a domestic abuse. like i said earlier, there's no smoke without fire.
the issue is not gender-related. . . .men and women can be domestically violent!

Gbam! I've always said, a man who would abuse you shows his hand earlier in the relationship but most women choose to ignore it.

I cant count the number of women who say stuff like wanting a man who can "put me in my place when i'm being cocky" (i'm serious!). I just spoke to a friend this evening who is willing to turn down a perfect gentleman doctor because she feels he has no "swag" i.e. he is too soft, too nice, caters to her every need and is too sensitive to her needs. I couldnt believe my ears!

Rather she wants a man who has "ego", can push her around the place and slap her down when she needs it!  shocked no kidding!

This man, your mother raised you well!

One lady on Nairaland made the same kind of statement here in the family section a month or so ago, I corrected her with as much feigned humor ( told her to ride on my Okada, I guess my humor took the focus off the point ) as I could muster but she took offense.

I told her not to expect any man to modify her behavior for her. Because i've come to realize it's part of the pressure to make the man act in a certain way and it subconsciously makes the woman emotionally dependent. The man also becomes a victim in his attempt to live up to that socially forced expectation.

She accused me of sexism or something of that nature because of my joke, but the point got lost in the ensuing back and forth.

They want men to act in a certain way, because society has conditioned their minds to expect men to be that way, we are all victims of our environment or culture. We need to get new perspectives if we want changes.

I can only laugh, so my broken wrist was because I used my mouth to reduce the AC, and the beating I received for talking to a neighbour was cos of my mouth right, KMT in disgust - u men make me laugh so you will tell your daughter that its ok for her husband to beat her if she is rude to him.

I don't even want to continue - please explain to me how beating a pregnant woman can ever be justified.

i will train her to respect her husband always and give him the same respect she would give me(her dad). . .

it's very simple. . . .
about your broken wrist and the beatings, please confess to us - what have you been doing to this man to warrant these abuses?
confess and the truth shall set you free. . . . . .no man would suddenly turn his own wife into a punching bag without reasons.

if you bring your husband here, he will have a story to tell.
reminds me of that woman who came here to report her husband about this n that.

The AC wasnt working and next thing your husband beat you for it .

You said Hello to the neighbour and next thing your husband beat you?

I would tell my daughter one thing as an adult always talk, act and address people in a way you want to be addressed especially in a way that wont insult your education and home training.

Never resort to verbal or physical violence under whatever circumstance, It reduces you as a person

cotton is telling porkies, abeg!

it's either that or she's done something very grave thinking her husband has completely forgiven her.
a warning to the married women: married men don't completely forgive any sort of infidelity, no matter what he says.

if your husband has caught you with saucy texts or romantic emasil to an ex and he said he has forgiven you, beware!!!
that husband will slap you if the food is not ready in time. . . .it's not necessarily because of the food, it's that unforgivable cardinal sin you had committed 30 yrs ago playing in his mind.

KMT - the fact ur asking makes me come to the conclusion that you have no idea that THE VICTIM IS NEVER TO BLAME. The only story my ex will tell is I got angry when he decided to chase anything without a penis.

Look I'm not even going to start trying to explain anything here - the fact that a grown ass man can slap me about cos I spoke to a neighbour - (reason he didn't want me interacting with anyone apart from him - yes isolating you from people is one of the tactics used by animals (sorry my bad men who beat up women) where is the story.

the only thing u can even use is that he lost his job and decided to take out his frustrations on me. if you feel he has a different story then u seek him out, but please tell me what justification you will try and give here for beating a pregnant woman.

by the way not all victims are rude and even if they are and so - if ur boss insults you do you slap him about as well, one only has to see the stress that Olisa guy from Beat FM got for beating a male colleague - people condemed it i'm sure if it was his wife u would say that she deserved it abi?

classical tactic used by male bullies. Any woman who knows her man shows any form of discomfort with her interacting on a platonic level with others should beware. It wont get better after marriage.

Many women mistakenly see this as proof of his "intense love" for her. A man who really loves you wants to see you spread your wings and fly, be the woman God made you to be with his help. He is comfortable letting you make friends and interact with others who equally make you happy.

I guess too many women prefer the tough bullies. too bad.

anything without a joystick? haaaaaaa. . . . . . .you see, something must have led to one violent act or the other.
did you beat up his concubines?

if the issue centres around interacting with your neighbour mainly and he slaps you for it then he's very wrong.
but i am sure there are issues behind that story as well. men are not as complex as super-computers.

hitting a pregnant woman? very wrong.
but pregnant women should not provoke too. . . . . .don't abuse a man's mother whilst pregnant thinking you would get away with it.

makes me laugh when people say if my boss insults me. . . .

did i marry my boss? did i make any vows with my boss in the church?
who gives a heck about what my boss decides to do or not.

this is man and wife. . . . .two people who made vows to love each other till the end of time.

I would refer you to the comments of some ppl on this thread for soccour

I just have to ask . . . where do you folks find these animals like this to marry?

1. how does a loving and a respectable wife husband suddenly beats his wife in one day? Did you marry a psychopath?

2. What if it was an act of defense. seriously, we have some wicked women, still does not excuse the fact that she beat his wife.

Re: by Nobody: 11:12pm On Sep 14, 2011
@davidylan

there are many tactics used, it never starts with a beating - bullies always start with the physiological abuse

u men saying you will train your daughters not to be rude - um so if her husband cheats on her in an extremely disrespectful manner and in the process gives her an STD then abandons his responsibilities in the home as a man so that he can take care of his numerous mistresses, beats her while she is pregnant (cos women can act funny during those 9 months) u will tell her that its all her fault. i'm just listing some scenarios that could happen as I don't wish this on my worst enemy but what would you tell her cos u may have an angel for a daughter but if the man turns out to be a beast what will you do.

@coogar

hmmmmmmm  beat up his girlfriend - I have a lot more class than that abeg. My issue was with my husband and not some random fool outside - did she make vows to me? this aint nollywood.

anyway I can see that this topic has now become something else. I just thank God I left nigeria - gosh even a pastor had the gut to tell me that I should endure. I told him that I cannot endure until i'm 6 feet under cos I will not have people drinking malt and star and eating jollof, fried rice and chicken at my burial prematurely. Nonsense I have not been to New York yet and someone wants to kill me b4 I see the statue of liberty - arrant nonsense and ingredients.

@ cotton101, i appreciate your courage, not many women can make up their minds and leave such abusive marriage , they will rather stay until the man kills them. In Nigeria today there are so many women suffering in their marriages from verbal abuse, physical abuse and emotional abuse but they will rather die inside because of fear of what people will say or think of them.God will give you the strength to start all over again.

@Dayo,

I don't really know why some men fall for these modern day tricks created by women.

Example: I saw a pregnant women hitting and slapping a huge man the Ikoyi, "shouting you go kill me today".

But fact is that she knows she can never overpower that man,she just wanted him to hit her back in other to attract sympathy.


Some women will start the trouble and they will end up playing the victim.

I always advice my pals never to fall for this games.

Whenever a woman brings her wahala just leave the scene for her.
