This social experiment is about domestic abuse. It is kind of hard to watch, but see what happens when a woman is being abused and when a man is being abused. What do you when you see something like that on the streets. Intervene? Ignore? call 911?

It nice to see that people care enough to come to your aide when you need them too. But, sometimes men’s need help too they are also victims of DV.

This is so, so sad!! Abuse towards anyone, anywhere, any sex, any age is so, so sad. Someone should step up to the plate and do something. I was abused, m
uch in my life. And, only I did something about it. It is sad to see these results.

Noone has the right to lay hands on another person. The people who stood by and let a woman abuse a man need to reevaluate their lives.

This is bull shoot. They would NEVER film something like this in a state where they’d allow people to carry or conceal carry. I would have drawn down on both of them and NOT released my aim until a cop arrived.

And then you would promptly be arrested for doing so. I have a CHP in Louisiana and the law says you meet force with equal force only if you or someone else is in danger of being killed or seriously maimed. If he had a knife drawn and was threatening her it might be justified to draw, but drawing a handgun on a man shaking a woman around is not meeting with equal force. It is escalating the situation, especially in public with other people around to assist you, should you choose to intervene. Your comcealed carry firearm is a last option measure, not something you carry to be a faux police officer.

My initial reaction was frustration at the crowds reaction when the female goes after the male. My second was to wonder if she was a bigger girl, would they have taken it more seriously?
No matter the situation, it’s never right. Ever. And I find it worrisome and frustrating so many have the mentality that it’s not their problem or place.

the man looked plenty capable of defending himself, and had obvious powers of speech, he did not look bullied, maybe p”$$& whipped, but capable of standing up for himself. Really not fair to compare when the attacker is smaller than the attackee. Funny how you who put this together did not know the difference!(not). I don’t mean that what she was doing was acceptable, it was not. But have you ever been bullied or beaten by someone who is at least twice your strength? Did you know that men are that much stronger than women? Those of us who have been in the situation might even temporarily enjoy the sight of a man taking the abuse she was dishing out for a moment or two, knowing a woman does not have the muscle strength unless she is on steroids to really hurt anything but a guys pride. Generally. I do actually agree that SOMEONE should have said something to her to get her to think, but was not worried that the guy could not outrun her….

There are many times of abuse and that includes the psychology definitions of abuse. It sounds as if you would pass by a male who is being abused by a female. Size doesn’t matter when someone is being abused and don’t ever assume either, because DV always sneaks in and sink it’s teeth to the victim.

How is it possible that when a woman gets beaten by a man everyone makes his nose but when a man hits a woman no attention is paid, nevertheless ridiculous because many men are not beaten by a woman on this planet while nothing is done, let alone a woman is beaten ddor a man, it’s not so that one should hit anyone you can talk about it.

That is a false statement. Gender, size, and age has nothing to deal with in how they defend themselves. Domestic violence can always sneak in and sink it’s teeth in if done right. I know a certain male who is being abused, he knows it but stays for their kid. Women can do this as well and I have a friend who I am worried and won’t listen to a word due to this GF’s manipulation. She’s fat, but he’s actually well built, but basically has his mind filled with her.

Craig, if that woman is not in jail the one down man out to be for letting her get away with it. Most of you still don’t have any idea what it is to be a 98 lb. Weakling and be beaten by a determined 167 lb. Guy in fantastic shape or you would not be complaining so loudly. Violence is not okay, period, but the stakes go up when you have a woman with mono of the liver, a man fresh from basic training and 167 lbs. vs. that 98 lb. woman. Poor men, generalizations don’t work in their favor.

I’m a man, I’ve been physically abused by my now-ex wife. It’s not as easy as you’d think. You can’t strike back, if you as a man hit her (which could be very well what she’s trying to get you to do) you’re going to jail. If you take it, you’re a wimp. Try to get away— yeah, that’s gonna work with her screaming and hitting you on the back. You coward! You’re running from a woman!
See how the game is played? “Heads I win, tails you lose”. I’m inclined to look in on these things later back on my “home twenty” blog, maybe in the next few days.

Did she take your life? Did she put you in the hospital? When you have a mark to show the police, certainly she would be arrested. Did she outweigh you by 40 or more pounds? Not saying she was right to do what she did, but IT IS NOT THE SAME……. My abusive husband and I are still married. He is manic depressive, schizophrenic and has multiple sclerosis. I don’t have much fear of him now, but until you are truly fearing for your, or your children’s lives, you just don’t know or understand what true fear/ abuse is. Imagine being one of Ted Bundy’s victims , then you will have an inkling of what it is like. I always removed my self and my children from our home when my husband lost it and kept them away until his sanity came back and he was safe. No shame in running before things get out of hand!

Ann how dare you…. Both situations are different which doesn’t mean it’s worse than the other. You don’t know what you are talking about whatsoever! There are many types of abuses and you can’t just judge someone’s experiences from
Your own! That is the silliest and stupidest thing to ever do or say to someone who is going through domestic violence. Congrats that you still stood beside your husband even though it wasn’t a good one. We don’t care for the after parts we care about handling the situation at hand, to prevent, and fix it in the future!
Don’t you ever, EVER dare tell someone’s experience was not true fear, for crying out loud the ex took a chunk of his skin!! To me that is a situation where one needs to protect oneself. As well just because your husband has those things doesn’t mean it’s ever right to lay a hand on you whatsoever. Again congrats by staying by his side regardless of his actions, but don’t ever try to compare between the two situations. You’re still with him and this man is not anymore with his wife. You should be ashamed of yourself to be so contradicting and hypercritical in your words.

Ann, it’s almost impossible to believe a sentient being wrote that. I rode the storm for a few months, and believe me— a woman is most certainly capable of doing serious damage to a man. Especially when she shakes him out of bed at night to start stuff and catches him at a disadvantage. I got the broken nose, the black eye and the bloody Tee-shirt to show for it.
In this situation, a “real man” is likely at a disadvantage anyway. You can’t hit back. If you do, you’re a bully and she’ll have you on charges as an abuser (I think she was trying for that, as it happens). In a fight with another man, you can do what you have to do to defend yourself– up to and including knocking him through the door without opening it first. Put a mark on a woman, and the man is automatically the “bad guy” regardless of what happened before then.
Look— husband and wife are “supposed” to love each other. Ain’t nobody supposed to be hitting anybody— whether it’s husband hitting wife or wife hitting husband, it’s just plain wrong and the victim– whether husband or wife– may need help to break away from the abuser. I caught a bit of luck– the night I finally had to leave, my sister and her husband gave me shelter for a bit and helped me get re-established on my own again. Many people– male or female victims– don’t have that going for them. Male victims have it worse, there just aren’t that many emergency shelters for male victims of domestic violence.

Being weak and being totally unable to defend oneself always trumps having to restrain yourself. I have been on both sides people. We all have intellect, we can all overcome what does not kill us. I don’t blame people for leaving an abuser, but I do blame them for deciding they can judge others without all the information. Reread what I have written and maybe you will see that this is not about me but about taking responsibility for what you allow to happen to you because you are too proud to walk away when needed. It truly takes two.

I’m not saying I’d for sure step in, but for a guy to smile or to video anther guy letting a girl hit him is just wrong. Guys are raised to never hit a female. EVER. And if he did lift a finger to defend himself, he’d end up looking like the bad guy.

Vb, I winder where your reason is. No doubt you came to this with an opinion that cannot be changed by reason. Put yourself in the place of those who experience real fear and you will understand.

Clearly you don’t understand your own words. You have yet to come to realise in what you are saying is wrong, so I must assume you are a pessimist. I know for a fact my childhood wasn’t a great one and I know my some of my family members weren’t great, but overall you want ppl to experience pain to understand pain? Yes my opinion will never change considering in what you are saying is beyond wrong and yet not even reasonable in what you are trying to say. You are basically saying you are condoning abuse and let it run it’s course. That thinking itself is completely wrong by any means. Yet you have the outstanding nerve to say these words to me as if I led an easy life, my self awareness on things are things I know immediately since I was a small child.
My mother went through abuse and I knew first hand as a child what is going on isn’t normal without being told. You, yourself are letting your children think this is a normal trying to do with your husband. As I said regardless of what he has it’s not an opportunity to let yourself or your kids to endure whatever abuse he plays in his hands. My husband has endure abuse and I came with it through him my thoughts that I speak now has helped a lot of people. You speak as it’s something you have to get used to, if that were true I wouldn’t have been able to marry him considering his mother did psychological abuse and economical abuse. I’m not the victim in their scenarios, but I’m not going to stand by and them feel pain when they shouldn’t. I know I endure some things of my own, but it doesn’t mean I should think or say my situation is worse than the other person’s whatsoever that is not my place to say or do; and it should not be yours as well. You can not ever say who has it worse or what they should do to experience that pain whatsoever, you are condoning abuse and saying it should continue that is where your words contradict and hypercritical. I’m passionate in true equality and to say the words you did makes me upset you think that way. I’m an outsider of your word of “normalcy” so it will obviously look different in what I’m hearing you say about what your husband does to you. You still live in fear and most of that fear is basically turned into a “normal” setting that is what I see from your words. I once had a female rape victim tell me that a male can’t get raped considering he stays erected during his rape. That is what you are doing right now and that sentence itself says a lot as to what victims of any abuse would do think. You are part of the problem as well and I, an outsider would think your words are without a doubt pathetic as well no meaning if you can’t even come to the fact it happens to anyone regardless of age, weight, height, and gender. No matter what you say to me I will more likely deflect it knowing my own morals know the understanding of this video. Even if he was “pussywhipped” does not mean she should lay her hands on him.

Unfortunately this is not the reality of domestic abuse. Abusers are very clever and hide their abuse from the world, they’d never take it out in the public. This bothers me because they say they’re raising awareness for domestic abuse but only what is painfully obvious to the whole world, meanwhile the more subtle abusers will continue to get away with it. Please, be actively aware of all the people in your life and take notice when you see the common signs of domestic abuse. Here’s a site that has a lot of good information on that. Remember that this could happen to anyone so take care of the people around you!!

Thank you for that advice. I hope people will learn allowing it to happen to you is wrong also, not to the same degree obviously, but failure to remove oneself from a situation that is going bad is a bad thing too. Learn how to deal with someone who crosses boundary lines in public or behind closed doors, or just walk away. Forget pride.
