    It's true that women are half the problem. They keep getting in the way of angry violent men's fists and feet. Don't they realise how irritating they are, groaning and writhing and displaying their bruises just because a guy lands a couple of kicks to her face and kidneys? They just don't want to hear about the problems of men. It's really sad

    While I agree that more attention needs to be brought to the plight of abused men and that this pervasive idea that a man who is assaulted by a women is 'weak' needs stopping. I can't help but feel the title is deliberately provocative. As though the creator devised it so as to bring the most venomous and out of context reaction as possible.

    Yeah, it was on a poster and therefore needed to be succinct and obviously it needs to be written to garner as much attention as possible but why write it so as to appear an attack on women? Why not focus more on supporting men rather than an apparent attack on women?

    In the end this needs to be less about propagating some sex war and more concerned with those affected by domestic violence. Helping the abused over come the trauma and move on to a better life and more fulfilling healthy relationships.

    (I admit I didn't watch the entire video and may have missed something but I am functioning on little sleep and my attention span is shot to pieces. My apologies.)

      Not a problem. The title is designed to attract attention. Sadly this is the only way to attract attention is to figuratively slap people with the truth. People just don't want to hear about the problems of men. Its really sad. Look at the comments below. People just automatically assume that only men perpetrate domestic violence and only women are victims. How else can they believe that Im saying that victims are half the problem? In their minds the words "victim" and "women" are the same thing. Its this kind of thinking that feminist have been forcing down our throats for years. And it is has worked they way that they planned.

      No one said that victims of domestic violence are half the problem. All that we are saying is that women are perpetrators of half of all domestic violence cases therefore they are half the problem.

      It refers to the fact that domestic violence is 50/50. 50% of domestic violence perpetrators are men and 50% are women. 50% of the victims of domestic violence are men and 50% are women. Women are half the problem in that they perpetrate half the domestic violence.
      MRAs have been trying to bring attention to this in an effort to bring equality to domestic violence services. Out of the hundreds of domestic violence shelters in the US less that 10 accept men. And courts tend to not prosecute female perpetrators of domestic violence.
      Because we have been bringing attention to the fact that men are victims too we have been receiving venomous push back from feminist groups. This video is about this push back and the illogical stance of those who oppose men seeking equality in the area of domestic violence.

      From where have you derived your statistics? According the research gathered by the World Health Organization, your statistics are grossly incorrect.

      knightrunner, yes women are very violent. It's inbuilt = all that testosterone! Men are hardly ever violent or competititve and go out of their way to avoid brawling and fighting. This is why you hardly ever hear of male boxers, wrestlers, cage-fighters, etc - they just aren't motivated. The idea that males are more likely than females to be the aggressors in any situation of conflict is completely ridiculous. you only have to look at nature to realise how ridcilous the suggestion is

      I'm disturbed by the idea that a man of God would sanction the silencing and subjugation of all women and cater to thoughts that women, by their gender, deserve the worldwide horror of domestic violence.
