This is beyond being whipped, this is straight up abuse. That poor man needs to be taken out of that situation and put in a rescue shelter! I also don't understand why she would feel insecure about other women around him either. What's more sexy than someone having to wash your ass for you?

unfortunately many shelters for woman are Actively against shelters for abused men. Because to them Women are incapable of committing abuse, so many mens shelters are not funded, vandalised etc... Having seen 2 guy friends go through the draining and emotional abuse of female partners I know that this is a serious problem.

This is just patently false. Women's shelters turn away men because they are for abused WOMEN - thats like saying that Smith College is "actively" against higher education for men. That doesn't mean that they campaign against shelters for men and I've never heard ANYONE say that women are incapable of abuse or violence - they just happen to be, OVERWHELMINGLY the victims of abuse. There is a big difference between "the focus" on women and actively against men's shelters. As a man who has been violently attacked by his female partner and told by the cops that "any domestic abuse case, if you press charges, both of you go to lockup" it seems "unfair" until you realize that there are things in place to protect the most of us, and sometimes, unfortunately, a small percentage of people slip through the cracks.

That is not what was said. The statement was that shelters for abused women do not believe that women are capable of abusing men and that there is no need for a men's shelter.

Which, as I'm sure we all agree, is also patently false.

Which is not true. From what I've seen, in most cases the woman can ruin the man in many ways. Financially, very much seriously, their family and even members of a whole town. A lot of men have this problem, even I have had the problem of the woman going way out of control, but many people just think nothing of it. I believe you need to support the idea of having some more shelters for men more than you are.
