Saying domestic violence is not done by men alone is risky in this era of 'online feminists' or ''Feminazis" as they are often called. A man now has to watch what he says or risk having his timeline taken over by the 'Occupy Manhood' gang, who just love to batter men.
Women
have successfully taken the fine art of nagging online and the age old
solution of walking away no longer works on it's own, you now have to
switch off your phones as well. And you’ll be foolish not to be scared.
Women have overthrown great empires from the beginning of time starting with Adam, and even MTN begged after foolishly airing that ‘mama na boy advert.’
Till date, little boys have gone extinct in their subsequent adverts.
Yet somehow women are still perceived as the weaker sex and have to be
protected from wicked men.
Peter Okoye standing against domestic violence(Information NG)
“Do not hit a woman, no matter what she does,”
that's what society says, that's what pastors say, that's what women
say, that's what some men say, and they are all right. No man should hit
a woman. But domestic violence is not always committed by men.
What
this law means is, being a woman gives you the right to ‘go up and
down’ running your mouth, dishing out slaps like small chops, and daring
a man to hit you if he's a man, while the man is just supposed to stand
there like an electric pole and take it dutifully, or walk away i.e if
she’ll allow him.

The
nature of men and women are different. While women are adept at
fighting with their mouths, and can cut you real deep with their razor
sharp tongues, men are not so blessed. Arguing with words tire them out,
the only fight they understand is the one that involves their fists. So
when you tell a man not to hit a woman please also kindly tell the
woman not to continuously provoke a man. Let's keep it balanced.
Domestic Violence: Men should not hit women, but who will save the men(YNaija)
Now while there are a
few men who hit women for the slightest reasons and love to cut them
down with their words, most men I know do not hit women.
I
never for one day saw my dad hit my mom, nor do my brothers hit their
wives, nor have any of my sisters being hit by their husbands, nor do
any of the men in my circle hit women, so I get confused when I see
statistics like “7 in 10 homes suffer domestic violence.”
I
also know good God fearing men that have hit women because the fact is
everyone is capable of violence you just need to find their trigger. But
if all the men you know hit women then the problem might just be you,
the kind of men you attract or the simple fact that you are not properly
schooled in the art of handling men.
Domestic Violence: Men should not hit women, but who will save the men(Pulse)
Sadly some men don't
understand that women are the most loyal beings God created and these
beasts rely on brute force to get women to obey and respect them. They
fail to don't understand that once a woman believes in you, you'll have
her loyalty and that loyalty also comes packaged with respect.
But respect does not mean turning her to a slave and making unrealistic demands of her, like a post I saw on Twitter that read something like “if you are not ready to wake up at 2 AM and make him his favourite dish, you are not ready for marriage”, that's not realistic.
The
truth is men do not have the monopoly on domestic violence. There are
both abusive men and abusive women. The only difference is a woman is
more vocal with her pain while a man will rather suffer in silence than
expose the fact that his wife abuses him at home and sometimes publicly.
So let's not be too quick to point fingers.
