    It is implicit.

    Men are afraid that women will laugh at them.
    Women are afraid that men will kill them.


    I thought that was glib and rather distasteful.

    Am I not a "lib" anymore or do you not like my facts?

    I didn't realise you were a plagiarist and I had not come across that quote before,
    I still think it inappropriate in the context of domestic violence on men.

    And ... Why would you think I object to feminist novels when I
    (and most that read my posts) would consider myself a feminist?

    Yeah, I got that, even if he didn't.

    But then, I am female and read more. 😀

    Feminists do not routinely go around responding to a feminist point by saying "Yeah but..."

    I'm a feminist and not a bigoted one.
    You need to keep that knee under control.

    I haven't seen the study into how many women know that quote ... I'm sorry
    I didn't (I feel so ashamed). Of course I could use your friend Google to try
    and come across as better read than I am, but that would be dishonest ...
    like plagiarising someone's words without accreditation.

    As for fantasies mine are bit more interesting and imaginative than that.

    According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center:

    >One in five women and one in 71 men will be raped at some point in their lives.
    >In the U.S., one in three women and one in six men experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetime.
    >91% of victims of rape and sexual assault are female, and nine percent are male.

    https://www.nsvrc.org/statistics

    This debate thread is a prime example of why fundamentalism--the idea that it's impossible, or unethical, to make comparisons--is so frustrating. Nobody has argued that men are not victims of sexual assault.

    Here you go Mott:

    https://www.thehotline.org/resources/statistics/

    Some stats for you.
    30% of women are abused by their partners in the US.
    10% of men are abused by their partners in the US.

    15% of women have been physically injured by this violence.
    4% of men.

    So, as usual, you’re talking an amazing amount of bollocks.

    As for Margaret Atwood’s comment:
    It is fear of jest rather than death, which prohibits men from coming forward.
    And it’s not fear of jest that forces women to behave the same.

    And the figures back up her sentiment on this issue as well.

    20+ years ago I dated a police woman who headed the local domestic violence unit.
    She said she was astounded at the number of men being beaten by their wives.
    And not a single man had pressed charges.

    In the news recently a UK man died from domestic abuse.
    He suffered years of it (including his wedding day).

    It isn't something to scoff at.
    you are right my dude. Where's the balance?? Nothing like getting attacked from behind when you aren't ready. ... Its the words . They are more powerful

    I thought that was glib and rather distasteful.
    that woman (duchess) lives in a f***ed up world where she is always the victim.

    I'd take her out of there and 'show her the world' ... but she wont let me. Catch 22? well whatever it is, it;s a sad and dreary place.. the surface is so much cleaner.
