I don't know about vilified. I would ask why you don't trust the woman, and do trust the man, given the historical record.

I don't know about vilified. I would ask why you don't trust the woman, and do trust the man, given the historical record.
- leereeves 12y agoIs there a historical record?
- detcader 12y agoSure; we can start with the history of male violence against women in all recorded civilizations, and any statistics on male violence against women.
- zo1 12y agoEither way. What we all should be asking is: "Why aren't we considering both sides of this?"
- sridca 12y agoWhy frame all of this in terms of 'trust'? Must you trust either of the genders? Why not look at the facts of the matter? For that, you need to start by looking at both sides of the story instead of taking sides.
- detcader 12y agoThe rich historical record of male violence against women is why.
- tbrownaw 12y agoVery funny. It took less than 5 minutes to confirm that the violence goes the other way at least half the time. It's just not taken as seriously because... well, have you heard the phrase "you hit like a girl"? http://psycnet.apa.org/index.cfm?fa=search.displayRecord&uid=2000-15524-001 http://psycnet.apa.org/index.cfm?fa=search.displayRecord&uid... http://www.saveservices.org/2012/02/cdc-study-more-men-than-women-victims-of-partner-abuse/ http://www.saveservices.org/2012/02/cdc-study-more-men-than-... https://www.google.com/search?q=domestic+violence+gender+ratio https://www.google.com/search?q=domestic+violence+gender+rat... http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=domestic+violence+gender+ratio http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=domestic+violence+gender...
- spopejoy 12y agoWow, it took less than 5 minutes to find random internet justification for your wildly unrealistic notion. Bravo sir on your googling skills.

- hugofirth 12y agoI think your question suggests an unfair representation of the request. A desire to hear both sides of the story is just that. The question would be just as valid in a opposite scenario.
- MichaelGG 12y agoHe didn't say he doesn't trust the woman. Just what the other side of the story is. It's probably unlikely there's any justifiable reason given the quotes, but maybe there was a valid context. (As a theoretical example that's unlikely: he might have been replying to an explicit invitation.) Or hell, I'd like to know what he was thinking, just out of curiosity - like, what made him think the comment was acceptable?
- detcader 12y agoHe asked "Would I be vilified for not trusting the woman?" and I answered the question. I think it was straightforward dialogue to understand. I think everyone is curious...
