I have to say, this struck a major chord with me. I'm against any form of domestic violence, but I agree that violence against men by women is not taken as seriously as it should be. I have witnessed it first hand, some played out just like the video but mostly verbal and emotional abuse. I have seen so many good men beaten down continuously by women verbally hammering at them and often times leading to physical attacks because the woman is not receiving the response she wants, be it submission or confrontation.
