    What? Saying one thing is on a different level is not the same as saying the other doesn’t exist.

      Well, a big part of men’s problem here is plenty of people do say that in one way or another - That men’s problems in this regard “don’t exist”.

      I’ve experienced domestic violence before. She preferred to knock the shit out of me when I was sleeping. I don’t care how strong you think you are, you aren’t able to protect yourself when you are asleep.

      I have flat-out had people tell me that “men cannot be abused by women, just like how a woman can’t r-pe a man” when I’ve told people about the situation.

      How else am I to interpret that, other than “your problems don’t exist”?

        Well maybe you should engage with the person you’re talking to right now instead of lashing out at arguments made by other people in the past?

          I’ll engage with people when I feel it might be productive. Nobody likes talking to a brick wall.
