Female Spousal Abuse Up According to
Survey
From Italy-News.com
Annotico Comments: One wonders if this an Italian Phenomenom, Western Civilization, or International??
Note that while 30% who sought help, were male, that only 2% of males were willingly to admit it publicly, which indicates that the figure in actuality could be much higher, if men were not SO reluctant to admit to the abuse.
Could Spousal Abuse by wife replace being Cuckolded, as the supreme humiliation?
Also, is there something to be read from the typical Female abuser being 40, and from North Central Italy?
A recent survey undertaken by Help Me, a spousal abuse hotline, of 2,500 Italian couples who have sought the aid of psychiatrists or social workers revealed that 30% of the couples were scarred by a physically or mentally abusive female.
The typical female aggressor was described by the survey as being around 40 years old and a resident of north-central Italy, who often physically assaults or verbally humiliates her partner in public.
Only 2% of men publicly admitted to being the victims of female spousal abuse.
