At Liberal America, we are committed to writing about issues that affect domestic violence survivors — and that includes men.
When people see a woman being abused in public, they tend to be quick to react. People will even put their own safety at risk to try to protect a vulnerable victim. Unfortunately, when the victim is a man, people not only do not react — they often find it humorous.
About 40 percent of domestic violence is suffered by men, but the issues has never gotten the attention it deserves, for various reasons. This video by the Mankind Initiative puts focus on this serious issue and shows us how people react to a man being abused. It’s not funny.
