    Or men abused by men, or men abused by women. My brother was stabbed by a coked-up ex, and was arrested...until one of the cops realized he was bleeding, and was actually the person who phoned the police for protection. They just assumed he was the abuser...when she was.

    Assault is awful. Nobody should tolerate it, but the facts should outweigh the sentiment of the nation, or gender biases and stereotypes.

    Every situation is unique, and should be treated as such...without bias.
