In many abusive relationship stories, society assumes that the men are the aggressor and abusing the woman. However, assuming that it’s always one party in every situation is a closed-minded way to view the world.
In many relationships, men are the victims of abuse. While it may not be physical, emotional abuse is as destructive to individuals and relationships overall. Women, of course, have campaigns and support all across the media spotlight, whereas men just don’t. A recent hashtag trending on Twitter, #maybeshedoesnthityou, has shined a light on all the ways women can be the aggressor in abusive relationships. Ladies, you should listen up, you may be doing this to your man.

#MaybeSheDoesntHitYou but when you know she’s doing something wrong, you feel like you have to agree with her because “that’s what a good boyfriend would do”. #MaybeSheDoesntHitYou but when you finally break away from her she threatens to ruin your life.

#MaybeSheDoesntHitYou but you can’t just be human – you have to be the perfect husband/father or else you are the terrible husband/father who does nothing around the house, ignores the kids, and takes her for granted.

#maybeshedoesnthityou but she constantly invalidates your interests as not masculine enough, guilts you into sex, says she’s more manly than you, and blames you when your mental health is acting up.

#maybeshedoesnthityou but she falsely accused you of abuse. That takes away credibility from real victims. Abuse and lying about it are bad.
