Mark, I was out with my husband during the week, he had a skin cancer removed from his nose and had a huge bandage, black eyes and lots of swelling in the area where the surgery was done. We went into visit my son who is on remand waiting for his day in court after being accused of stalking his mentally unstable ex partner. ( that’s another story for another day). I was amazed at the double standards of the females at the jail reception. They joked about how I must of gave my husband a good punch in the nose for him to look the way he did. That got me thinking how if that was me looking like I had been punched in the face, my husband would of been reported to the police and investigated and more likely sharing a cell with my son. By the way ( QLD police arrest and charge first, then come up with fabricated evidence to keep men locked up). But it didn’t end there, once we left reception to enter the locked area of the prison, jokes kept coming ‘ like he should ducked instead of weaving’. I am astounded by females attitudes and double standards.

KD, that is indeed a shocking story. I too am often blown away by the fact that women feel absolutely entitled to be so derogatory about men... knowing that no one will slap them down. I'll keep your story on file and use it one day.

This sick double standard permeates every aspect of our lives yet most men are blissfully unaware of the shocking bigotry or even laugh along with those who joke about female on male violence rather than dare argue with or criticize a woman.
