    Thanks for minimizing the abuse I went through. Fuck you. Maybe a big part of why men are underrepresented in abuse statistics is because we are considered the abuser by default and are expected to just suck it up and take it. Go eat a bag of dicks, apologist.

    Yeah, that doesn’t sound abusive in the slightest. I cannot begin to imagine you as the abuser in any relationship, especially one lasting more than fifteen seconds. You really don’t sound like the kind of guy to need a human punching bag, no, not at all. Well done, Stegget. Well done.

        I am. I’m also aware that being abused does not give anyone to right to abuse others, and that a single person can be both.

        And I am also extremely aware, unfortunately, that one of the abuser’s handiest tools is DARVO.

        I have no knowledge whatsoever regarding this person’s past, their involvement with an ex, or anything that happened between them.

        But what I am aware of is that when this person was triggered by a mere stranger expressing an opinion, they instantly went on the attack with namecalling, profanity directed specifically at the person expressing an opinion, and an aggression that was uncalled for by the fact that someone expressed an opinion that differed from what they maintain is their experience.

        He started with an objectively false accusation, and twisted it to be personalized against himself:

        Thanks for minimizing the abuse I went through. Fuck you.

        Then he took his frustration with the ENTIRETY of society and hurled it back at this person.

        Maybe a big part of why men are underrepresented in abuse statistics is because we are considered the abuser by default and are expected to just suck it up and take it.

        He then finished with another false accusation – “apologist” – and wrapped that up in a nice bit of verbal abuse to conclude:

        Go eat a bag of dicks, apologist.

        Yes, I am an asshole. But I also know how to control my anger, how not to make passing commenters the punching bags for my own dissatisfaction with life, how not to turn a ten second interaction into an outright verbal assault on others, and how to keep from calling online passersby names when I don’t agree with them.

        Again, I have no knowledge of what happened between this guy and his ex, and do not claim to.

        But what he did here to a passing commenter speaks for itself.

          Says the person that immediately accused the person of not being a victim but actually being the abuser, just because he is a man and was (understandibly) angry when someone said men don’t deserve as much help, since there are fewer male abuse victims

          I would say that saying “go eat a bag of dicks” is not even close to as serious an accusing someone of being an domestic abuser, especially to someone who has been on the receiving end no less

      Making horrible accusations against people because they expressed frustration in a comment is really shitty. Peak Reddit.
