Domestic abuse should not be confined to just one gender or age group. Old people and young people alike can be victims or perpetrators in domestic abuse. Abuse can affect families of poor and rich background. It is up to the people of this country to put aside the stereotypes and accept the fact that there are people out there who are being abused and who feel that they are alone. Someday, these battered men or female perpetrators could be family members, friends, or even yourself.
Male abuse is no more important or worse than female abuse.
Both issues should be treated with the same amount of severity and seriousness. Just because male abuse is being acknowledged doesn't mean that anyone is denying women are victims. Of course women are abused more often than men statistically. There are more provisions for women who are being abused. Abused men have no place to turn for help.
