I saw this somewhere else on Reddit and just felt like it was important to post it here

Very true, SRO told me one of his male victim DV cases. I'll retell what I roughly remember. 6'4" 250 pounds of pure muscle guy, let's call him "Pat". Had this hot but small girlfriend which he had a child with, we'll call her "Jan". Pat had a rap sheet, assault and possession. So he wasn't exactly in a good position to take care of this kid, had to work minimum wage jobs, labor, those kinds of jobs. You know how hot chicks are crazy? This bitch was fucking crazy. Smoked a shit ton of weed after working her day job as a "dancer" sometimes did harder drugs, did not give a single fuck about the kid, argued with Pat constantly, hit him a few times, lit his shit on fire, threatened him with a knife when she was cooking, mentally drained and abused him, kid consantly saw this. Cops were turning around before the dispatcher even finished the house number let alone the street. SRO had some history with guy, actually he was the one that arrested him. Both had mutual respect. (Background, their house was a was small with a carport and the entrance is through the side door of the car port which was too small for their truck) SRO arrives on scene, same stuff, neighbors called in a noise complaint because they were arguing. This time was a whole lot different, they were loud before but this time was different, they were screaming at each other, struggling noises ensue. Pat bursts out covering his blood soaked shirt near the ribs with his kid in his burly arms, Jan hops out too, screaming like a fucking demon, bloody knife in hand, high off her ass, by this time, Pat and the kid were behind the line of cop cars who responded. She got shot numerous times before she went down. With beanbags rounds of course. Pat got patched up. He was worried CPS was gonna take the kid away but SRO pleaded with CPS to let him be. 3 months later SRO checks in on Pat, he's doing great, got promoted to foreman making what decent living he can for his kid and started seeing some new people, vowing to keep his kid safe and away from his mother. Flash forward to now, kid's in middle school, straight A kid. Pat started his own construction company hiring ex-cons trying to turn their life around with some at risk kids in there. Point is DV isn't just man hit woman, it's a complicated situation where everyone's is different, they all share common things. Obviously men mistreat women more, but at least they can talk about it, but when women mistreat men, they'll think others will be saying "What a pussy" or similar phrases.
