[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 475443, member: 1233"] Hey, I got y'all talking and thinking about this. Step, I meant that if most of the DV occurred toward men, and all else was the same in our culture, then it would be a BIG issue. Just like the medical community did almost NO testing on anyone but men and just assumed women reacted the same as men while they told women that the problems were all in our heads. I do know that DV toward men is not even considered to be a problem and that male victims are just ignored. Pretty much like many of us are ignored if we report that our children are abusing us - no one really cares because we are supposed to be in control of our kids and even if they are bigger than we are or stronger it is still not something most people would ever bother to consider to be a "real" problem. Sorry I was not clear. This isn't something my community is doing, and I am not close to Topeka, but it is something I won't forget. It still affects me because it is a trend I do NOT want to see spread to other areas. [/QUOTE]
