No. I'm moaning at your constant whinging about the plight of women whilst subtly minimising the plight of men. There are a lot of nasty, hateful, bullying and violent men out there, I'll give you that. There are also a lot of nasty, vindictive, manipulative and aggressive women that feel they can and often do get away with their mistreatment and abuse. Men are often told to "man up" when in that situation; women are routinely given far more sympathy from men and women alike.
A lot of domestic violence towards men from female partners is never disclosed out of extreme shame as well as cultural allowances made for women. Not only that, there simply isn't the resources for men suffering from domestic violence in the same way as women. Indeed, men have been known to be laughed at by women in these centres when they ask for help.
So, yes, I'll agree that abuse of women is a serious problem. Abuse of men is too, and this needs to be talked about.
So, no - domestic violence is most certainly a problem here too, as it is all over the world. The difference is that in Muslim theocratic states it is openly encouraged and exalted and is part of the national 'culture', heavily influenced by whatever shitcake form of their barbaric religion says.
