I wanted to learn more about the bums that use women as their physical or mental punching bags. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence website provided the information. Battering is an equal opportunity disgrace not limited to any one race or socio-economic group. Even gays and lesbians have their share of abusive partners. Many theories are offered to explain why men batter women.
Most abusers use battering to gain control.
It is a way to compensate for their low self-esteem, which is due to a number of factors, among them are poor communications skills, stress, drug and alcohol abuse, or provocation by the women they live with. Yes, there are a small number of women that can't live without chaos in their life, but that is a different problem entirely. Battering men usually start their reign of terror with verbal abuse. This escalates over time into pushing and shoving, later to slapping, then all out punching and kicking. In too many, cases the final outcome for victims who suffer years of domestic violence is death.
