-- Posted by ilovemyheart at 2:51 pm on July 4, 2009 Ok, this might seem like quite a controversial subject... but i've thought about this carefully... We hear about men who have been given life sentences for abusing women physically (and quite rightly so, they deserve to be locked up) On the other hand... How many women out there abuse men mentally with there little mind games? I've seen men driven to insanity and even killing themselves over women... who were just "playing" all along. Personally, I think mental abuse isnt any less wrong than physical abuse..... because it still causes damage to peoples lives and can even end them. So here's my question... Why is it right that a man should be locked up for abusing women physically..... when women on the other hand can play there mind games all they want... and get away with it scot free? I just think it's wrong... but thats my opinion. Please discuss (and no abuse to anyone else with differing opinions) -- Posted by audibleSIN at 2:53 pm on July 4, 2009 I read less than half of this and can already say "They give most of us sex, so stfu." -- Posted by DangerouslyDisturbed at 2:53 pm on July 4, 2009 You can't really prove mind games in court can you? Whilst physical abuse has.. physical proof. -- Posted by ifyoulikepinacoladas at 2:54 pm on July 4, 2009 2008 -- Posted by sixguns at 2:54 pm on July 4, 2009 governments don't care about emotions until they start harming another..and then it's not even under those charges. -- Posted by cyberpunk at 2:54 pm on July 4, 2009 New muscle cars are shit.

When my guy friend pisses gets pissed off at me, he has a bad temper I go "Are you gonna hit me?" and he gets real upset. -- Posted by ilovemyheart at 2:54 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from DangerouslyDisturbed at 2:53 pm on July 4, 2009 You can't really prove mind games in court can you?

And that makes it any more justifiable? -- Posted by Husk at 2:55 pm on July 4, 2009 Well maybe because physical abuse is easier to observe. -- Posted by LiveForeverDieTonite at 2:55 pm on July 4, 2009 Guys can also play mindgames, and they don't get locked either.  The only problem with the "mindgame" punishments is that it all has to do with interpretation.  I mean the girlfriend could say something that pushes a guy over the edge, and may not have meant it like that, ya know? -- Posted by 3800 FTW at 2:56 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from zjxuhsdcgysdh at 2:54 pm on July 4, 2009 Yeah.. that is true I guess.

I mean the girlfriend could say something that pushes a guy over the edge, and may not have meant it like that, ya know? I'm talking about things like.... 1. Planning to go on a date, and she doesnt turn up... or cancels without any notice, and doesnt even apologize for it later. 2. Saying she doesnt mind where you's go on the date, and when you choose somewhere to go.... she complains about it anyway 3. Getting a man sexually aroused.... then suddenly ignoring him... to make him chase. (thats the worst) 4. Getting a guys number... but never calling him, just so she can prove to herself that she can get it. 5. Saying things, then doing the exact opposite. These are just a few examples to help you get an idea of what I mean by "mind games" -- Posted by ilovemyheart at 3:01 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from 3800 FTW at 2:56 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from zjxuhsdcgysdh at 2:54 pm on July 4, 2009 Yeah.. that is true I guess.    When my guy friend pisses gets pissed off at me, he has a bad temper I go "Are you gonna hit me?" and he gets real upset.

The probably reason that physical abuse is punished is because it's visible and can be measured more so than mental abuse, and it supposedly can be controlled. If you want to keep it consistent though, you can say that women physically abuse men but hardly ever get punished; the guy is supposed to be able to handle it and is weak if he can't, it's a double standard.
