to want to kill my gf

theBOD · 16/06/2008 22:28

she was meant to be home after work so we could go out for dinner but apparently got rail roaded into dinner (yeah right) with her boss and couldn't say no.
i really feel like putting my fist through her face as soon as she walks through the door pissed out of her mind to make sure she never does it again.

I actually had you confused with another wanker on MN. sorry! as you are a man making a point I will let my DH post so he can talk to you.

LittleBella · 16/06/2008 22:36

Oh he's probably making one of those idiot feminist posts about how it's all right for women to say they want to kill their DH but not for men to say it about their partners and how why is there this double standard?

And the reason my dear bod, is that 2 women a week in this country are murdered by their partner's or ex partners. When women start killing their partners on the same scale, we'll all feel exactly the same amount of horror as we do about men threatening violence to women.

OK? Alles Klar?, as they say in League of Gentlemen and Germany

an odd bod sod then

eenybeeny · 16/06/2008 22:37

how very good of you to have never hit a woman gracious, even!

theBOD · 16/06/2008 22:37

no no just wanted to make sure that domestic violence was still looked upon with disdain on this forum.because after seeing the reaction on the two threads i linked it seemed that it was obviously hilarious to attack your partner.
i'm just glad it's still not condoned on here.

Well done, you got your point across, good tactics.

theBOD · 16/06/2008 22:38

i thought so myself.

OP posts:
Scuff · 16/06/2008 22:39

Ah, so your OP was teaching us all an important lesson about domestic violence?

Twattish behaviour, imo.

Salamander · 16/06/2008 22:40

The point I guess you seem to be making here is that men hitting women is BAD but women hitting men is viewed as a bit of a laugh...

I am GUESSING that is your point.

Being a man myself I am supposed to be able to think on your level, so i'm giving it a go here - stick with me.

Joking about domestic violence aside, the two posts you referred to were OBVIOUSLY not serious, whereas your OP was done in an overtly serious and vehemently violent manner.

To put it plainly, this is comparing apples with oranges.

Also putting it plainly, you are an idiot.

I think there is a world of difference between the tone and content of those posts and of yours.

theBOD · 16/06/2008 22:40

"And the reason my dear bod, is that 2 women a week in this country are murdered by their partner's or ex partners. When women start killing their partners on the same scale, we'll all feel exactly the same amount of horror as we do about men threatening violence to women.
"

that's a shocking argument.surely domestic violence against anyone should not be condoned and the fact that you feel it is socially acceptable to laugh and joke about women physically attacking men is one of the reasons so few men ever report abuse because they feel they will be laughed at.

LuckySalem · 16/06/2008 22:41

theBOD - I can understand what your saying and well done the way you said it. However, I don't think they meant it in a way as they are actually gonna do it, its just an expression.

Perhaps wrongly, people who read things like that from a man assume its what they will actually do. Whereas women normally just rant. IYKWIM

Thomcat · 16/06/2008 22:42

Fist through face comment was to make a point. Hmmmm nice comparison, NOT!

If you have a point why not start a thread pointing out comments that have upset you and we can discuss those points like grown ups.

What on earth type of reaction did you think you'd get with "i really feel like putting my fist through her face as soon as she walks through the door pissed out of her mind to make sure she never does it again."

Disenchanted · 16/06/2008 22:42

I see his point...

I actully pointed this out on that B&Q thread where people were actully laughing because a woman had attacked her partner with some sort of tool in there

Can't remember exact details (pregnancy brain) but found it very disturbing.

Salamander · 16/06/2008 22:44

His 'point' (as small as it might be) was not well made.

It could have been made in any number of better ways than the crude and aggressive shock tactics employed.

It is silly and nasty.

fairyfly · 16/06/2008 22:44

Lots of females are very agressive and controlling and think they are boss. Treat men like children. If they don't do something properly they are in trouble, where as if a woman was saying she didn't cut up fabric properly and was ridiculed mn would be telling her she was emotionally abused.

boudoiricca · 16/06/2008 22:45

Can it be purely coincidence that this freak finds MN after all the posts about Fathers 4 Justice??

CapnTaLcY · 16/06/2008 22:46

DH is agreeing with Salamander.
FWIW!

spicemonster · 16/06/2008 22:46

I agree with Salamander. The OP didn't read like a joke. The other threads did. Very, very poor taste. I do hope your partner doesn't read MN.

LittleBella · 16/06/2008 22:48

No I'm not condoning DV.

I'm pointing out that the social conditions of men's DV against women and those against men are different.

I haven't seen that strangle with a towel thread, but I assumed that it was a joke. Whereas a man talking about putting a fist in a woman's face, may very well not be - it's all too common. Women who strangel men with towels are on the front page. Men who put fists in women's faces, don't even get the police called on them, mostly. Women talk about their anger. Men act out theirs. That is obviously a generalisation, but it's statistically correct.

But the point about men not wanting to report DV because of fears of ridicule is true.

MadBadandDangeroustoKnow · 16/06/2008 22:49

Salamander has said it perfectly.

eenybeeny · 16/06/2008 22:49

The point is not that some women are abusive. I dont think any of us are denying that. but the OP was typically male (the negative side of male) in the violence he showed. It was not a reasoned way to start a discussion. It was either a very stupid way of making a point or it was some sort of acting out of a fantasy.

Thomcat · 16/06/2008 22:50

Exactly - to repeat myself - why not start a thread pointing out comments that have upset you and we can discuss those points like grown ups???????????

zookeeper · 16/06/2008 22:50

good point badly made
