Which double standard irritates you the most?

It doesn't look like that person's comment was downvoted from my screen. I'm on mobile which may be slower than the regular site?

Here are a few sources offering insight into domestic abuse and/or violence showing how men are affected. It's important to note that the majority of men that finally overcome the stigma and speak out against domestic violence are OFTEN turned away simply because they are male.

I do believe most statistics will say it's higher for women. I also believe men are far less likely to speak out about it (As noted in the Wikipedia source for Domestic Violence Against Men below). It's also extremely varying in terms of what you look at. For example: the percentage of rape is higher for women than men whereas the percentage for psychological aggression statistic is higher against men. I do believe that when a man claims he is being abused by a partner to law enforcement he is likely going to be turned away. Another thing to note is that over 90% of resources available for domestic abuse/violence are for women and not for men.

None of this information seems to really pertain to my original comment about the family court system being biased towards men. I've been in that system and I will stand by that comment.
