The results of a landmark longitudinal study into domestic violence paint a grim picture, but they also point to key solutions, especially before men offend.

    Click baity headline:

    One in three men (32%) aged 18 to 57 years report using emotional abuse towards a partner. One in ten (9%) say they have used physical violence.

    9% is way to high and definitely a problem that needs addressed. But the article mentions multiple times stuff like:

    Overall, among the 120,000 men surveyed, one in three (35%) said they’d used a form of violence towards an intimate partner in their adult life.

    Like, obviously not defending emotional abuse, but it really shouldn’t fall under “violence”.

    It’s 100% a form of abuse and a serious issue, just not “violence”.

      What’s classified as emotional abuse? Is giving them shit for the lols considered emotional abuse? Is calling them a dingus for doing a dumb dumb emotional abuse? What if they give you the exact same shit, and have since before you started your relationship?
