My take?

I think the reason why SOME men – not just African/Black men – don’t speak up about the abusive behavior inflicted on women by some of their fellow men is because some are either afraid, apathetic or it reflects their past or present behavior or, the behavior of some men they know. They are afraid because they don’t want to be seen as someone who breeches the honor of the “MANCODE*,” especially when it comes to women. They keep quiet because they don’t want to be pegged as a “MANGINA*.”

Holding your fellow brothers' feet to the fire, because of his brutish behavior toward women is a BIG NO-NO - a serious betrayal of the brotherhood. Other men are apathetic, in that they just don’t care. It could also be due to their negative thoughts and ideas about women, most likely stemming from how they witnessed their mothers being treated by their fathers, growing up. Such behavior was normal for them. And if their mothers accepted the abuse and stayed in the marriage, it only cemented their concept of 'this is the way men treat women'. And the last reason is because it may be the same behavior that they themselves indulge in at present or in the past. It’s the “birds of a feather flock together” mentality.

*MAN CODE: Collection of codes, rules and guidelines every man should live by.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*MANGINA:

1. A derogatory term for a man who is controlled by a woman, thus has no testicles; a man totally controlled by a woman; a weak-willed man

Used in a sentence:

a. That mangina would never disobey his wife. b. That mangina just will not stand up for himself.

2. A male lackey of the feminist hate movement (Usually called a 'male feminist'), who views women as superior to men and always bows down to and agrees with women in an attempt to curry favour, especially that of his abusive, man-hating wife who will screw him over in the divorce court, ruin his life and reputation, whelp a child that isn't his and sting him for money for said child. In short, a man-slave. Almost all married men these days are manginas, and so are a slightly less number of single men.

Used in a sentence:

"Oprah's just a show for women and manginas, man!"

*Why do YOU think more men don't speak up abut violence against women?

NOTE: Yes, there ARE women who DO speak out about violence against men by women as evidenced by this article by a WOMAN.

"Domestic Violence…Against Men"

Women and children are not the only one subjected to domestic violence. Men are victims of domestic violence as well.

Same reasons why more women don't speak up against dating married men thereby contributing in breaking lots of marriages.

coz they are the monsters violating women

Same reason women cannot call out a woman who marries a man 20/30/40 years older as a gold digger.

Some of them r secretly envious...

NawaoO! Hope u knw ur Dad is a man #peace

Same reasons why some women can't outrightly condemn abortion.

They are guilty.

Some men made a bad experience when they tried to defend a woman against her husband / boyfriend.
Even though the husband / boyfriend beat her up, she took his side when someone intervened.

I have also witnessed such scenarios.
I would always ask if the woman needs help but I would first ask her if she wants my help.
Some women don't.

yes i know. But he does not beat or violate my mom! Or anyother woman!! So that automatecally puts him out off from that list.

Same reasons why women can't openly condemn leading men on and collecting gifts or presents from them when they know they have no intentions of dating.

They enjoy freebies.









Really though, I could go on and on...

Please do, it does not change the OP though.

Same reasons why most women can't openly support another woman who got down on her knees to propose to a man.

They prefer having the power that comes with being the proposed-to and not the proposer... including the ones shouting equality in all things.

You are getting carried away, aren't you?
Who cares if the woman proposes? Does she need to be defended?
Sorry, I didn't know.

Classic line

Never fails to be posted at one point in these threads

LOL

Why?
Because there really is no need to.

The figures for violence against women are vastly exaggerated, and whilst there was always adequate legislation , there are - and often excessive and unfairly applied - increasing laws made to fight it. VAWA anyone?

What we really need to highlight is violence against men - and the criminal distortion of the figures for domestic abuse and violence. Legislation is passed and laws enforced as if this is solely a male on female crime. Wrong! Violence against men is seriously under-reported and hardly taken seriously when it is.

Violence of any kind should be taken seriously.

Zboyd, aren't you due a vacation ?
