As a matter of fact, the majority of my female therapists have been women. Not one of them took my DV seriously. While other male therapists have also minimized my DV, my current T - who is actually helping me - is a male. Perhaps this is just bad luck, but I don't think men OR women take female-on-male DV seriously. The feminists I have interacted with certainly don't and are happy to tell me that I am sidetracking the REAL issue, which is "typical" male-on-female DV, because women are oppressed. It seems like all personal experiences count if you're a woman, but the minute I try to add my voice, I am shouted down, told that I am "mansplaining," etc. Online feminists are not a friendly bunch.

Dude, I agree with you on this. I know men who have received mediocre therapy, mediation and counselling because of this "cookie cutter" therapy crap.

^^GOLD!

It is so rare to find a good therapist. :/

When I take my kids to the park and they run away to play with other kids, why am I given the stinkeye by the moms there? Why am I automatically treated like a pedophile? Why is it when I bring this up with women, I am shouted down and told to "man up?" Why, when I express my anger about this, am I told that it's not appropriate to discuss because women have it so much worse and therefore my anger over my own personal experience isn't justified?

I personally have a vagina, and I feel really bad for you.

All of that which you are talking about is gender inequality, probably will never be seen as an important talking point in this century and probably will get buried within a month on this board. Know you're not alone, and know that I get you. Seriously, PM me. I don't want to talk much on this thread.

Note: please do not expect a reply back from me, if you respond to my post. I'm very picky.
