Women already know about alcohol and the vulnerability associated with it. They just opt to make dumb choices the same as men. This mess is neither new nor a one-way gender street.

I agree with you. You can't control what other people do. You can only put yourself in the best position.

First suspended now dismissed, it is being reported that Ryan Thaxton has been dismissed from the football team for allegedly assaulting his co-ed girlfriend. Two weeks ahead of Fall camp opening on Aug 3, Thaxton; who redshirted last year, is still (technically) enrolled as a student at UT. He will face civil, if not criminal, charges related to the matter, and his ouster from school is a possibility. Thaxton may have some good qualities, don't know, but he earned his exit from the team if these charges are proven true.

I'll try to say this with respect to you..


I am a domestic abuse survivor, I did NOT make a dumb choice, it happened.. and I find your statement of "dumb choice" very insulting, both to those men and women who have been in horrible situations, due to alcoholism and etc.. It's by the grace of God I am able to sit here and type, my situation was horrific and back in the late 70's a woman couldn't get much help like today..


And thank you for your understanding, I didn't make a dumb choice by addressing this..

It is hot button topic, and do understand on both fronts. Even on my end (looks closer to yours), Abuse does go on both sides, unfortunately, and it defines a person. No doubt about it, I lived through it also (Lived through it), by the grace of of GOD. We are better people for it, hope I
don’t sound condescending to you, but get where you are at.

There is no indication that in this instance there was "two-way" abuse going on. Throughout all recorded history, the major threat to the lives and physical well-being of human females has been human males. That is absolutely not a two-way street. Invoking the "two-way street" argument every time a man beats a woman is total BS. Do we men have to be above the level of savages regardless of how the women in our lives act? Hell yes.

Thank you for trying to be nice. Three things of note. I wasn't talking about you specifically. You're not the only woman on planet Earth , therefore some of you do make dumb decisions. And I ought to know, I've watched too many of my lady friends from high school to 60+ years old. Who declined to press charges when they should have. Who willingly returned to guys who should have been stood to a wall and shot. Who threatened myself and some of her dearest friends with a butcher knife as we sought to prevent her from returning to the guy who eventually put her in a hospital from which she didn't exit alive. No need to get all personal and holy at me. I stand by what I said, women like men make dumb decisions. Those decisions can range from financial to leaving an infant in a hot car. Whether you like it or not, as with shoes, life and experience has no one size fits all. Finally, I'm sorry you went through what you did. More sorry than you can imagine as I was firsthand witness from childhood on seeing what such animals did to women. Seeing one more such incident, I once tried to locate my mom's .38 to use on a guy who was beating a woman badly. All while people just stood around commenting stuff like, "Lawdy he really laid that one on her." When my mom found out why I was rummaging through her dresser shelves, she was horrified a 9 year kid even had such a thought. Just so you know, you're talking to someone who has an abiding hatred for animalist women and child abusers. Once again, one size doesn't fit all so no need to holify when a truth about shared gender tendencies is mentioned. I don't cotton to double standards, either. I regret your trauma and hope like some women I know that you come out stronger, yet without lifelong bitterness. The greatest victory you can have on the beast that laid his hands on you.

Women are perpetually innocent and it's never a two way street? You can't with any degree of honesty deny that it's men who are historically the primary abusers. That a sad and pitiful fact. But women can be and in some 20% of cases are abusers. I have experienced a few as a college student. A few being physically abusive because I said "NO" when I darn well knew I'd better say no. Or decided to leave the relationship due to ridiculous levels of jealousy. Even in one case where I refused to put out. See, I know what can happen when you put cream in a cup. Got beat up anyway.

The amount of insensitivity in your response is off the charts.

As a society, I feel we are to blame for incidents like these. We got away from 18th century mores that served us well. First of all, co-ed schools and universities invite sinfulness. None of our children should be allowed to intermingle with the opposite sex outside the immediate family until they reach a mature age (25 would be most appropriate. My own daughters and lads weren't allowed to and my wife and I found to our delight that they lost their interest in doing so. Now all our children still live at home with us as we have entered our twilight years. Our girls have become what some would call "old maids" if you will in their late 40s.

Thankfully, they have caused us no disgrace and no need for shunning within the community. Spare the rod and spoil the child is what I always say.

Mean girl syndrome > sisterhood? Has anyone done any stats on this phenomenon? I know it happens but would find it hard to believe that female on female abuse is higher than male on female abuse.

It took me awhile to respond to your rebuttal to my post. I was merely responding from one domestic survivor to another domestic abuse survivor at the time. It is Never ok for someone to lash out and hit anyone, doesn’t matter who does first, male OR female. Yes, recorded violence is mostly men have been the aggressors, and through learning, (sorry you took my post wrong at the time), I was just trying in my clumsiness to point out that it happens on both sides and understand where she was coming from and (don’t beat me up on this), thought it was misdirected, but absolutely know and get where she is at. Never said it was a “two way street”.

Well, it does reinforce what I already knew. That men aren't alone in generating relationship abuses and engaging in dumb decisions. But selective readers and listeners will insist you're insensitive and worse for daring to point this out.

The great thing about not being famous is I don't have to care about what others think. Men are always blamed and sent to jail in domestics. They also never talk about abuse they've experience.
