My name is Kenn and I am a victim of a woman aggressor, you would be shocked to find out how law enforcement treats a man who reports this. I wasnt taken seriously and even mocked by the officers when they thought I wasnt being "tough". What does that have to do with anything? Ive been working construction in Milwaukee for nearly 10 years throwing chunks of concrete around like toys. Then you have a 5 foot burnette attacking you 3 min after you come home on a daily basis. Id say I was the tough, see Ive never abused a woman and wont, My father did and the shame left him hanging in the woods, not gonna happen to me and my son isnt even going to know what domestic abuse is, since I learned at such and young age

Accountability is exactly right. It all goes back to the old maxim of "if you don't use, you lose it". Women are not inherently unaccountable. It is a result of the "feminist" movement. In the eyes of those who buy into it, a man cannot be responsible for anything good, only bad. If something positive occurs, they argue that it is because of the diversity (women) surrounding him. Women's actions are often written off to male oppression or some other accountability liberating premise. They have been deconditioned from accountability. Only women can do right (ie: the whole "finally a woman in charge notion" regarding Pelosi). Women who do not posess a moral/spiritual compass often buy into false doctrines such as feminism. It's quite unfortunate…men and women are intended to complement one another, not dominate one another.

A better word would be accountability. American women do not really know what it is like to be held accountable for their actions.

The difference between women and men can be summed in one word: RESPONSIBILITY!

While men commit horrific crimes, women have been proven to do horrific crimes in equal numbers as well. The difference is generally responsibility. Men will hold each other accountable while women generally look for an excuse to explain and reduce responsibility on their part. Men generally look on personal responsibility as defining manhood while women will fall back on excuses and victimhood to define their negative roles in society.

Lack of that character trait; personal responsibility defines the American woman of today. In violence against her children, against men and society, in work and politics as well as day to day living.

Lack of personal responsibilty, unfortunately it is the single most important reason women should not be in high office as well.

DV does go both ways, and many reasons have been stated, both political and personal, as to why female on male violence goes under reported.

Whenever a situation is biased to one side, and this comes to the attention of "the public", the pendulum swings too far in the other direction. In some areas, this has already occurred.

In many places, there seems to be a rule in place that, whomever strikes first is the guilty party. While this is a fine rule between two people of equally matched size and weight, such as in a barroom brawl, it is not the best basis for DV.

Case in point from a local incident. The male was much bigger and physically stronger than the female. He was holding her against a ponywall over the 2nd floor, verbally threatening her, leaning her back into the open space of the stairwell. She then slapped him, open handed, and pushed him away.

Under normal circumstances, this would be classified as self-defence. She was in danger of being pushed over the railing, and she used minimum violence to escape.

Yet, because of the DV situation, she was arrested with felony DV, and custody of the child was given to the male. The court date was set for 8 months away. In the mean time, she could have no contact with their young child.

This is just the most recent case – there have been many others. Answers need to be found, but we must ensure that we are not going too far in the other direction so not to appear biased.
