Not sure there is anything new here. It's hardly news that some men get hit, kicked and slapped by their partners. And women can be just as controlling as men.

3 in 10 men victims of domestic abuse

NEW YORK -- A rare study of men as victims of domestic violence shows nearly three out of 10 have been battered or otherwise abused....

The study, which will be reported in next month's issue of American Journal of Preventative Medicine, looked at a sample of 420 men, with more than 19 out of 20 having female partners.

Two said they had suffered forced intercourse or unwanted sexual contact, while more common forms of physical abuse included hitting, kicking and slapping. Non-physical abuse included threats, expressions of anger and controlling behaviour.

The study found men under 55 are more likely to be victims of abusive partners, but older men suffer greater mental anguish when they are targeted.

You really are determined to make the true depth of your ignorance common knowledge aren't you.

Please do something for me. Please try to post something more than ignorant garbage, just once, please.

Anyway, much as I would love to stay and swap juvenile insults with you I really can't. Friends coming over you know, every weekends a party and every days a parade, know what I mean.
