Yes, but in your case is self-hatred. A pretty skewed way to go thru life. I would seek therapy for this - not a good way to go thru life.

It's weird.

I've known plenty of women who absolutely detest women.

Not me. There are women who prefer the company of men, but I don't think I've ever met one who thought all women, including herself were scum.

Good luck with the girls feeling the way you do - you're going to attract some real doozies.

This Eureka moment of unqualified arrogant presumption is brought to you by Andy.

I wonder how many women think it's acceptable to hit a man.

Badly said!

Not at all.

Women often abuse men, so I'd love to see the question posed to women as well.

It's socially acceptable for a woman to assault a man.

You speaking from personal experience?

A woman generally can't put a man in a hospital, or the morgue, with a couple of punches the way a man can almost certainly do to a woman. And the heroes of the sleeveless t-shirt subspecies usually don't stop at just a couple of punches either. That's the reason for the different social and legal perspectives, boys.

Good man. Glad you said it!

So you favor a bias for women?

I am one of them.
A bit more nuance is needed here tho:
Most of the female friends (or let's call them acquaintances, they never got so far inside my heart that I would call them friends) I had are lying, cheating, gossiping, nasty pieces of shit with no regard for personal space or integrity.

Does not mean that I think ALL women are that. But there is a lot of trash to go through before you find that rock of gold that is so precious I would call them a friend.

Why? Since when is it not valid to look at both sides of domestic violence?

I think the danger being stated here, to men, is very over stated. In my years of experience I have never known a man to be hurt by his wife. I however have seen many cases of wives being really badly hurt by their husbands. Yes, I do suppose it happens but it's gotta be rare.

In a word, yes.

Generally for the females because I know first hand what other males are capable of. Bullies don't usually restrict themselves to merely harming their wife or girlfriend. They're usually full-spectrum assholes who also slam their kids around, are road ragers, act like overweening tough guy pricks against their co-workers at the office or on the shop floor, and quite willingly instigate all sorts of fights with other males whenever they're drunk, stoned, or pissed off enough.

BTW, I never said that women assaulting men was OK. I merely pointed out that the damage done by men attacking women is far worse and deserves to be treated far more seriously by the law. Assault is assault and should be a chargable offense regardless of who does it and why, which is where the far more serious charge of battery is supposed to be applied if necessary, but let's be realistic. A series of slaps or a scratch to the face or a hair pull by a woman against a man is pretty damn small potatoes compared to a raging male beating a woman in the face until she's unrecognizable. So fuck them. I'm not going to waste any of my time engaged in some sort of game of false equivalencies here. You guys can pull out all the "she did it too" anectodes all you want and it still won't even come close to the intensity, devastation, number of instances, and pure lethality of what happen when men beat up on women. It's the same difference as being hit by a pebble vs being smashed over the head with a brick.

As well, how accurate do think your supposition is given that your initial reaction to the very question was a negative that it was even raised. That hardly suggests an honest and unbiased look now does it?
I think the fall back to danger or injury ignores the reality that abuse exists. If your position is such, could I assume emotional abuse is somewhat of a non issue for you? Minimal danger and injury.

Can I just state the obvious, 99.99% of the time if you don't hit someone, no one will hit you.

Or shoot you.
