Men's Group

Egregious shit does get said on DU, but actually one of my biggest pet peeves- because it happens to me with disturbing regularity- is having my words twisted or misrepresented, if not having stuff I flat-out never said, put into my mouth deliberately by people who proceed to have an argument with "me" based upon the stuff they just made up.

I don't think you're doing that here, but I do think you're misreading Boston Bean's original post. I do not believe she was saying that men can't be victims of domestic abuse. I think her post was in response to a later line in your post.

Now, all sorts of crap is alleged on DU and never backed up. People on DU are apparently saying all kinds of horrible, afwul, simply nasty egregious *********-ing stuff. Encouraging cannibalism, bathing in goats' blood, listening to Amy Grant albums backwards, and all sorts of nefarious evil hoodoo voodoo, I know because I hear about it all the time, although of course no one ever actually backs up those statements.



Frankly, I'm sick of the shit-flinging on DU. I disagree with Boston Bean all the time, but I'm not going to misrepresent something she said. I think you're reading it wrong.
