Mutual respect should be taught by parents, but it will take a long time before the issue of DV is taken seriously by the law and society, you hear it all the time women saying she drove him to it, which essentially excuses the man- if women cant even get her own gender to stand with her then what hope is there- in many cases the female does annoy the living hell out of her partner thinking her gender protects her from any repercussions that may come her way were she born man in the same situation. So some fem. push the issue to the limit and then he snaps- yes its true, There are also men who just enjoy feeling the power of beating someone defenseless and you will also find they also abuse children. They cannot face up to a man- deep down they are cowardly bullies. Most women have known some form of violence from men, verbal and physical. Until mutual respect is taught in the home and at school- this problem will never go away.
There is no society in the world where women are truly free, the male is not born free by virtue of being born a man either- he is bound by a form of slavery that the female ( in a perfect society ) isnt-and many times he doesn't want to nor can he live up to the restraints placed on him..living the dream, wife child and home is a huge burden that is mostly carried by the male- he is expected to perform get on in the world and never question his role-
ag.. all we do is make more and more excuses....for BAD....
do we teach males to respect females of EVERY AGE???
do we teach females to EXPECT respect from males of ALL AGES????
of course we dont lets just teach them to BLAME someone or something else...
to give respect earns respect...
we seem to have turned a blind eye to what starts off as the usual bully boy stuff...
and I WANT IT and I WANT IT "NOW" syndrome
that appears to have turned into a
if I cant have you no one else will have you syndrome...
I teach my grandkids.. that life will have lots of disappointments in it.. get used to it....we soon forget what is was all about...try to look on it as the best thing that could have happened...
jealousy and control seem to have taken over a huge amount of peoples lives...they are not happy even if they are in possession...
there is no ONE answer....but I do believe we should all be made to answer for the choices we make.. and that starts at a very young age...what is the point of a child having counselling without the parents also.. they are the ones in charge and are usually part of the cause...yet they go about their business as if someone else will solve their problem child..
someone worked out "smacking children doesnt work"..
has someone worked out.. that NOT SMACKING THEM DOESNT WORK EITHER????
are we making it easier for children of all ages to do the wrong thing over and over?...
