But we dont live in an egalitarian society, we live in a mixed traditionalist & feminist society, a gynocentric society, where men will go to jail for that. We literally have the Duluth model here in many states, and tgrouought Canada (and probably Australia too, but I honestly don’t know about that one). You can tell a man to fight back, but will he moreso listen to you or his entire circle of friends who will leave him, and the cops? Isn’t he hurt less by not going against the entire established order, even if he is a victim of it? Im not saying wwe should make society more reasonable and indiscriminate. I’m not saying he shouldn’t seek safety or even necessarily to bring no consequence on his abuser. I’m just saying you’re not giving good advice by advocating escalation. War is the destination of escalation. We know who will win that battle too. And we know, regardless of the order of things in our society regarding perception of gender, that abusers play victim. And back to gender, a man with a fist on a woman twice his size is taken more seriously than a woman with a fist on a man half her size. And so that is also part of the current you’re asking him to fight against. Please retract this. I understand the sentiment, but this is the wrong approach, there are better solutions.
