If you don't want a deflection, I invite you to lay off the snarky invitation.	Bonobo	Jun 2013	#7

Uh oh! You broke out the remdi95!	Bonobo	Jun 2013	#10
Why does it matter?	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#41
It takes a particular kind of person to respond to this kind of news	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#14
the response, of course, does not surprise any of us. goddess forfend we should discuss issues	niyad	Jun 2013	#17
Me either	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#18
no usually the title or the OP will make it about themself.	hfojvt	Jun 2013	#34
How awful for you to have to endure such abuse	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#35
or maybe some men just cannot stand for women to talk about themselves for even a mnute.	niyad	Jun 2013	#37
Reality = women's lives don't count	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#42
sure that's what I am trying to say	hfojvt	Jun 2013	#58
just because you spend time with the women of your family does not indicate that you care	niyad	Jun 2013	#59
perhaps logic 101 would tell you something different	hfojvt	Jun 2013	#74
as we keep pointing out, you are free to post about male victims as much as you like. the fact	niyad	Jun 2013	#75
am I also free to not have you boss me around	hfojvt	Jun 2013	#76
bossing you around? that is one of the funniest things I have heard today. pointing out that	niyad	Jun 2013	#79
"or maybe some men just cannot stand for women to talk about themselves for even a minute"	MadrasT	Jun 2013	#46
This is GD.	lumberjack_jeff	Jun 2013	#52
even the so-called "safe haven" groups are not safe from a certain mindset.	niyad	Jun 2013	#60
It's a catch-22. It IS blaming the victim, but since men aren't victims it's okay.	lumberjack_jeff	Jun 2013	#51
That doesn't come as a surprise to any woman.	Beacool	Jun 2013	#3
Truthfully one in three is a surprise to me	malaise	Jun 2013	#4
Truthfully, I thought it would be higher	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#15
I am the 35.6%	bunnies	Jun 2013	#6
Hope you're an ex-member of the 35.6%	malaise	Jun 2013	#24
Yes. I am.	bunnies	Jun 2013	#26
So am I	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#43
okay so I am reading GD and I see this thread	hfojvt	Jun 2013	#9
why are we not surprised?	niyad	Jun 2013	#19
who is this "we"?	hfojvt	Jun 2013	#33
Add me to the we	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#44
umm. that makes no sense. nt	La Lioness Priyanka	Jun 2013	#47
maybe you had to be there	hfojvt	Jun 2013	#57
Girls should get self-defense training	marions ghost	Jun 2013	#11
NO--girls should get self-defense, martial arts, starting in pre-school. females experience	niyad	Jun 2013	#12
OK let's say at least	marions ghost	Jun 2013	#20
Boys and men should get training to not treat women and girls like that. n/t	Whisp	Jun 2013	#16
that, too.	niyad	Jun 2013	#21
When everything in society tells boys it's OK	marions ghost	Jun 2013	#25
That does nothing to end it.	redqueen	Jun 2013	#22
It is a primary line of defense	marions ghost	Jun 2013	#27
Fine. But shouldn't BOYS get training early on NOT to do the abuse in the first place?	CTyankee	Jun 2013	#80
Ideally boys would be trained not to abuse	marions ghost	Jun 2013	#81
I'm not against strategies for self defense of anyone, but it seems to me that the offenders should	CTyankee	Jun 2013	#82
I don't see it as either/or	marions ghost	Jun 2013	#90
85% of them at the hands of a partner	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#13
I would be curious to know what that figure is for men.	lumberjack_jeff	Jun 2013	#23
A percentage is not easy to come by...	bunnies	Jun 2013	#28
I'm curious about that too.	bemildred	Jun 2013	#30
Historically and today the answer is the same	Major Nikon	Jun 2013	#49
That's what I thought.	bemildred	Jun 2013	#53
Can't you taste the privilege? Nt	galileoreloaded	Jun 2013	#61
Oh I can see male privilege, it's quite real, I'm pointing out it can get pretty expensive too. nt	bemildred	Jun 2013	#64
And chickens lay eggs	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#93
Do you not like the answer I gave?	Major Nikon	Jun 2013	#94
Read the report	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#86
I wasn't that curious. nt	bemildred	Jun 2013	#87
I didn't think so	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#88
Quite. nt	bemildred	Jun 2013	#89
you could look it up, if you are, indeed, that curious.	niyad	Jun 2013	#38
Reading is too much work	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#91
Most men experience violence outside	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#48
a) you're talking to me. Not "you all".	lumberjack_jeff	Jun 2013	#50
Silence enables abuse	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#54
Yes it does.	lumberjack_jeff	Jun 2013	#56
read the report	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#65
"And with that, she flung herself from the room..."	lumberjack_jeff	Jun 2013	#72
Ludicrous assumption	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#73
And with this	galileoreloaded	Jun 2013	#62
I'm not talking to you	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#66
clearly, because i deal in logic, and that statement was borderline	galileoreloaded	Jun 2013	#68
Borderline?	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#69
I was referring to Cluster 2 BPD. That statement, and some others, but that one	galileoreloaded	Jun 2013	#78
Your efforts to stigmatize the mentally ill are repulsive	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#83
That's not really what your first response said. :(	galileoreloaded	Jun 2013	#92
I have to agree	malaise	Jun 2013	#67
Of course the OP is about women... out of necessity.	lumberjack_jeff	Jun 2013	#71
Again, your refusal to read is astounding	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#84
I think it's probably higher	Marrah_G	Jun 2013	#29
Yeah, I find that pretty low. nt	bemildred	Jun 2013	#31
Much higher if you include threats.	Hatchling	Jun 2013	#55
It would be interesting to see what percentage of men abuse 35.6% of women	lunatica	Jun 2013	#32
85% of those women are abused by their partners	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#36
I was suggesting that the study may not be as comprehensive as it could be	lunatica	Jun 2013	#39
No, they give a regional breakdown	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#40
Given the absolutely astounding "blame the victim"	liberalhistorian	Jun 2013	#45
oh my ******* god--I missed that one. I would say I am going to be ill, but, sadly, the mindset	niyad	Jun 2013	#63
Beg your pardon?	Cerridwen	Jun 2013	#70
WTF are you babbling about?	liberalhistorian	Jun 2013	#77
Apparently	BainsBane	Jun 2013	#85
I know, pretty sad and	liberalhistorian	Jun 2013	#95
