Men are also victims

P.C.C (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) who works as a counselor for the Marion Counseling Center. I interviewed Yant to obtain an outside resource. She said, "Records have shown there are 835,000 men abused each year and 1.5 million women abused each year." I believe that number for men is not very accurate as compared to the women. Women who get abused usually seek help or treatment, which is then recorded and documented. Men on the other hand do not report the abuse as often. This would lead to a false statement about the number of men being abused each year. .
             If men would stand up and say they were being abused, I believe the number would be much higher. Yant stated, "There are a lot of men that who are too afraid or just ashamed to admit it." Men were taught to grow up to be strong and to be able to take care of themselves. If a man were to come off as being weak and afraid he would be made fun of. Yant said, "Men feel if they were to say they were being abused they would be made fun of and not believed. They feel they would be a less of a man." Men think about those things when they want to seek help, which causes them not get the help they need, and they continue being victims. A man being abused would feel very ashamed if he told his friends he was being abused. They would probably just laugh at him and tell him to handle it like a man. .
             Health care and police are also ones that would be in denial of a man being a victim of abuse. They are more likely to accept other reasons for the bruises or other signs of injury instead of believing they came from being abused by a female. Health care personnel and police are quick to think that the injuries came from a work-related accident or a game of football with the guys. I think the police themselves end up arresting the wrong person a lot of the times. For example, if a female was beating up on her male partner and he finally decided to protect himself, he caused a red mark on her, if it was from shoving, grabbing or hitting back.
