Sounds strange? Domestic Violence and faced by men? Isn't that an area held exclusively by women, at least that's the message conveyed by the media via various reports. However, truth is stranger than fiction. Perception is different than reality.

As it is said that, "Too much audio-visual input jeopardizes cognitive ability", the same has happened with Domestic Violence. Hyper-Engenderization of a social issue like "Domestic Violence" has led the society to believe that "All women are victims and all men are perpetrators of domestic violence". And the imbibing has been so deeply ingrained that even battered and abused men think they are a minority only and will not get support and thus do not express themselves and either continue to live in abuse silently or commit suicides.

It's not only about male victims of domestic violence, even the society believes that men who face domestic violence are somehow ‘responsible' for it and should be made to pay the price. This is the reason society does not accept / support weak men or men who are victims of Domestic Violence. International studies world over, including those done by Murray Strauss have proved beyond reasonable doubt that both men and women are equally likely to face domestic violence from their partners and immediate family. And in such a scenario, Domestic Violence is NOT a GENDER ISSUE, as vouched by feminists, advocated by family lawyers, presented by the media and envisaged by the Governments, it is rather a SOCIAL ISSUE and needs to be addressed as a social problem only wherein there are no ubiquitous and stereotypic assumptions, no double standards and punishment is crime-based and not gender-based.

But unfortunately, this is NOT the PRESENT SITUATION, internationally and is poised against men in all respects. Other than being denied protection men are also being victimized by false allegations and such false allegations are then subjected to overblown media trials as well, which paints the entire clan of men with the same brush, a price that is paid by abused and weak men, a vicious cycle at play.

This vicious cycle has cornered men to such an extent that are either they are becoming "Baazigars" or committing suicides in large numbers, almost double the number of women. And this trend is leading to the formation of the foundation of a Fatherless Society wherein increased juvenile crime, teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases will be the call of the day. Already the Western World is going through it, and the Indian society is no less prone to such an attack. World over the family system is the systematic victim of an untold and hidden corporate policy as more and more broken, disjoint and shattered families means more spending and more consumerism and more business for the white collared corporates who in turn are funding the feminists and influencing the media for a planned misandry which results in family breaking.  It's another vicious circle at play.

This article does not intend to address the problem raised. Rather this is just a warning bell. Choice is left to the society, as to whether it wants to participate in the planned elimination of men, or take to task the self-proclaimed champions of women's rights who are only spreading male hatred in the society and breaking the family by running their shop of selling women's rights.
