OhioUGrad: I was in a bar one time. A male and a female were having an argument. Suddenly, the female took a bottle and broke it over the dude's head.

Then, quick as lightning, bouncers came-up and started roughing-up THE MAN.

A bunch of onlookers interceded, saying "No, no, he didn't do anything! She hit him!" etc.

These thumb-headed bouncers sort of looked at each other, shrugged with a kind of: "All right, then" They released the man and walked-away. The dude they were handling had blood rolling-down his face too.

They roughed-up the victim. Pure insanity.

I gotta say, that's actually pretty funny (and I'm a dude). Seeing men get butthurt about this is a lot like listening to white people complain about how "honkey" is OK, but the dreaded n-bomb isn't, unless you're black. Or rich people griping about some lucky ducky poor person not having to pay taxes. Protip: If you're the one holding most of the power, you don't actually get to complain about being the butt of the joke. But by all means, go right ahead and act like an enormous pussy and cry about some video game. It totally doesn't make you look like a sandy-vaged pussy.

Gyrfalcon: kingoomieiii: Nofun: With some (a lot of) women, double standards are pretty standard stuff.

Here's a phrase from feminism: Rigid gender roles hurt everyone. This notion of "Oh, women can't REALLY hurt men" comes from gender existentialism. It's the same societal misconception that keeps male rape victims from being taken seriously.

Pretty much. It's also the same social stereotyping that says "There isn't abuse in lesbian relationships because women can't/don't/wouldn't abuse women" and "There isn't abuse in gay relationships because men really like the abuse or they wouldn't put up with it."

Abuse is abuse. It shouldn't be funny.

Women initiate half of all domestic violence unfortunately, most juristictions in the US don't take women beating men as serious as men beating women. The best way to handle domestic violence is to arrest both of them and bring them in front of a judge to find out what their problem is. No one is innocent in a domestic violence incident.

Get over you victim complexes.

Annnd we're back to the Stone age. Throw in the towel, civilization, it's over.

I'm going to try to say this without being condescending or insensitive. It will be hard.

Tip: If your woman is abusing you, LEAVE. You don't have to fight back (lord god, dont do that, you will go to jail) or care if she loves you back or not. You are a MAN, you most likely have the ability to get a minimum wage job and a studio apartment. If not, sleeping behind the dumpster is a whole lot easier on men then women, and preferable to being afraid of your girl. I dont get this at ALL.

I'm going to try to say this without saying you're a damn fool, it won't work. I meant what I said about civilization failing, civilization is the distinct part of humanity that makes it so that we can determine if someone is suffering harm and alleviate it. This is the part that is failing. Blaming the victim DOESN'T WORK, get that through your pointy little head. If someone is committing criminal acts, they shouldn't be the one to stay put while their victim has to quit the field, that is UNCIVILIZED, get it yet?

1. "Civilization" doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.

2. Advising someone to get out of a dangerous situation is help, not blame.

Obviously, despite the app's implied "girl power" theme, it's not exactly flattering toward either sex. As Jezebel points out, the odds of this app remaining in the App Store if it encouraged you to put your girlfriend on a leash, choke her, and hammer her with a tennis racket are pretty low.

Anyone else immediately assume "hammer" meant vigorous penetration?

It seems pretty obvious that the Apple screening is more about security than content. They will block legitimate apps for doing things that could be an exploit in a shady app, but they usually don't catch the content problems until they get publicity.

I think their review process is too procedural, but it is likely due to the number of apps that they need to sort through. They need a priority queue of well-established developers who will get through faster and with more wiggle-room. It would be like the TSA program where they clear you ahead of time and you can get a simplified trip through security. There is no reason why Omni Group needs to be screened at the same level as "Ben Dover" with his "Improve You're Credit Rating Now!!!" app.

Moonfisher		2013-01-31 07:16:09 AM

There are plenty of men being abused by women as well as both genders being abused in same sex relationships. You don't hear about the men because they seldom come forward. Law enforcement usually doesn't take them seriously and their peers ridicule them and question their masculinity. It's silly to get your panties wadded over an app, but we as a society need to address all abuse and take measures to end the double standard.

Actually maybe you are right. maybe the "victim" SHOULD stay and get beaten while waiting for the aggressor to leave cause, hey, that is more fair. Perhaps this is natural selection at its finest.

If you arent man enough to protect yourself from your woman, perhaps you NEED to have an aggressive, strong woman as your mate. If you had both as aggressors, perhaps you end up with children who end up as menaces to society.

Is that better, man? is that a better solution to the situation? just stay and get beaten?

So the ONLY choices are "kill the biatch" or "do nothing"? Dude, remember that whole "civilization" thing? Surprisingly, it may have a third option, like "have the biatch arrested". Interesting that you added a helper to the woman abuser here though. This is typical in your experience, that when people see a person being abused, they pile on?

I don't know where you guys get the "cops don't believe the man" crap from.

My roommate was in an abusive relationship with this crazy chick. He finally had enough and kicked her out. She showed up with her equally f*cked up sister to move her stuff. My buddy just sat on the couch and tried to ignore them but they constantly tried to pick a fight with him every time they went by. He had enough so he gently placed her stuff right outside the door. She flipped out and called the cops. They show up and her and her sister are flipping out about how her stuff will get stolen and yadda yadda. He's kind of outnumbered and he loses it and blurts out that she hits him all the time (which is true, she did a lot) and the two girls start laughing about how he's a pussy and blah blah. The cop looks at her and says with a straight face, "Ma'am I don't find that funny at all and if he wants I'll arrest you right here". That shut them up.

Cops go to enough domestic disturbance calls to know that probably over half the time, it's the woman hitting the guy

It's only rational when there's no civilization to remove the abuser from the situation. That is the entire point of a law enforcement apparatus, to get the person doing the unethical harm out of the situation and let the victim get on with their life.

dragonchild: Don't see a problem.

I didn't get all outraged during the revelation that you could beat up hookers in GTA, either. The more violence we channel into non-violent areas, the better.

I generally agree, however the major difference is that GTA is rated M, and only intended for those 17 and older... While this stupid game is apparently "rated for players aged 4 and up", according to the article... I don't think a 4 year old playing GTA is a great idea, either...

Yes, but that requires cooperation from the victim, in actually calling the cops, and then going through with pressing charges and testifying and all that... Many times, for whatever reason, they choose not to cooperate... In the case of guys hit by women, I think many of them don't want to admit to being abused for fear of being labeled weakling pussies... In the case of women hit by men, I think it's more often that they have a sort of Stockholm syndrome and blame themselves for the abuse rather than the abuser... But, in any case, if the victim won't cooperate with law enforcement, I'm not sure how you expect "civilization" to just swoop in and magically save the day (all while probably being cursed by the victim for their interference)...

GoldSpider		2013-01-31 07:54:27 AM

g4lt: Surprisingly, it may have a third option, like "have the biatch arrested".

And you expect the police to respond to a hearsay allegation from a not-neciessarily-neutral third party?

I suppose telling the victim to call the police is "blaming the victim" too.
