Everyone keeps going on and on about the girl child. It is common to hear people say: protect the girl child, fight for the girl child, and speak up for the girl child. They forget however, that the boy child is equally as endangered as the female child. Men are reluctant to say that they have been abused by a woman because it is seen as unmanly and weak.
A Report states that about two in five of all victims of abuse are men, contradicting the widespread impression that it is almost always women who are left battered and bruised.
Men assaulted by their partners are often ignored by police. They see their attackers go free and have far fewer refugees to flee to than women because the very thought of a man being physically or sexually abused is “funny” to many. Indeed many are almost never taken seriously. Both men and women can be victims, and men are under immense pressure to keep up the pretense that everything is okay.
The sooner we all get to understand the importance of this issue the better for both sexes. Domestic, sexual and emotional abuse against a man is just as abhorrent as when a woman is a victim. We all need to Fight for both sexes, protect both sexes, and most importantly, speak up for both sexes!
What do you think about the progress of the ongoing struggle for men rights?
🙂Great job.
Although i dont always come by stories about men being abused, but i feel its a thing that needs to be taken care of, especially young and vulnerable boys.
And mind you, if i may say, young boys are also sexually abused by Men.
Well said… You are correct. I think the numbers are tilting. Men abuse younger boys more than women do nowadays.
True,the male child is just as endangered as the female.But as we say especially in this part of the world “men don’t cry”…. I guess its the reason why they don’t speak up or report cases of abuse or or hushed when they do…the sooner we understand that boys/men are humans with emotions and all the better for us all.
Veu very true
Yes, if we are going to listen to any man tell his story, it must be done without judging him.
We all need to do better.
Boys/men need to be seen as humans with emotions, too. I agree.
Men should get rid of the archaic mentality that a man cannot cry, a man should not complain, and if anything happens to him, “he should take it like a man”. This is why most men do not speak up, this is why our little boys do not say any thing if that girl keeps hitting him in school, or if that aunty touch’s him inappropriately. Because this same mentality has been inculcated in him, not saying we should raise men to be cry babies, we should just teach them to speak out when they are being wronged in whatever way.
Well said. happy to have you on the team.
Male abuse can take the form of physical violence, emotional, verbal, or sexual abuse and I’ve come across some stories like that. However, most times they are often reluctant to report abuse because they feel embarrassed or fear they won’t be believed. I feel protecting the male child starts with the parents. They need to be taught that Admitting the problem and seeking help doesn’t mean they have failed as a man.
Fighting for men’s rights is a good cause. However, the clamour for fighting for both sexes or placing one gender before the other, will continue to be a problem, if society is not educated about its double standards.
The truth about the double standards is lost to many
