Violence against men

A while ago someone posted a few videos where guys beat up women in public (staged commercials to send the message that violence against women is no more acceptable at home than it would be in public.)

There were a few comments about violence against men. Here is an article from the Times (uk)

"Workers at a secret safehouse for abused men in Somerset say that there is a constant waiting list of men who have been scratched, kicked, bitten or attacked with bottles and knives."

"Stephen Fitzgerald, national organiser for the ManKind Initiative, which refers men to the refuge, said that some fathers had moved into the safe house with their children."

"?A lot of these men have suffered both physical and mental abuse for, on average, about six years,? he said. ?We have spoken to men who have been laid out with iron bars, had glass put in their food and been set upon with a knife. Others have been stabbed, punched in the face and threatened with an axe.? "

Scary.
