Argumentative Essay

Do you know how many women are victims of assault by their partners? It's 35% that's 1.3 million girls that are being assaulted. Only because women are treated differently. Some famous people have done it and got away with it like Thiago Silva he was a UFC fighter he hit his wife and charges were dropped he would hold a gun in her mouth and send her threatening text because he thought she was cheating on him and he was bragging to his UFC fighter buddies and he was only a lightweight champ.
Men aren't the only ones who do it women do it too but it's more often that men would do it because they are “stronger” than women like Emma Roberts she would get mad at her boyfriend and so she beat up her boyfriend.

Sometimes the abuser could have made threats or even paid people off. They should have listened to me and they wouldn't have got hit but they shouldn't have to listen to someone or else they got hit. Men say women wanted it or that you can hit, rape, abuse, assault. There partner. But if someone in the relationship is getting hit or assaulted then it was never a healthy relationship and they might be scared to leave the relationship because they have had kids together but why would you wanna put your kids through the abuse too. Most women don't come forth because they think nothing will happen or they have money that can make it go away. In 2015 there were more than 35 charges of assault from NFL players but that's not counting how many time they were hit or how many other women that did not come forth or the women that did make an abuse file but nothing ever happened. Like AJ Jefferson for the NFL, he was really abusive to his wife and he only got suspended for 4 games. Ray Rice NFL knocked out his wife on an elevator and dragged her to their car. Will smith NFL knocked out his wife and he dragged her down the street. NBA player Lance Stephenson pushed mother of his kid down the stairs. Johnny Depp smashed his wife's phone on her head. Chris Brown, he beat up Rihanna right before the Grammys. Joe Dimaggio would hit and abuse Marilyn Monroe in front of people out in public but since he had a lot of money he would pay …show more content…
Women are to be protected and loved not abused by the people they once thought were nice. They thought their partners cared about them but they were just someone's punching bag and they should never have been treated like that. ½ of the women out there expended someone to help or say something most of them thought it was cool or funny but it was not it would not nor could not be right or funny.
All the famous people who have assaulted the partners we know them and we have posters on our wall of them we only know the side or them that they want us to see. It could or would ruin the career if people knew who they truly are and see what they are capable of. No one knows who someone really is until we see them mad or upset. Women should never fear of saying something or even disagreeing with their

    In fact, three of four women in the study who responded that they had been raped or assaulted as adults said the perpetrator was a current or former husband, a cohabiting partner or a date” (433). These assaults happen all the time and no can stop them because most women are too afraid to report what is happening so they just let it continue. Women should be able to protect themselves or leave once they are feel unsafe, but most men won’t let them leave and they would usually continue the abuse leaving these women defenseless. However, even though there are men who violently abuse their girlfriends/wife, there are men who are not the attackers but he victims as well. There are people who do believe that men are the only ones who do the abusing but they don’t think that men can be abuse by women just because they are men.…

    After reading "violence in intimate relationships: a feminist perspective" there are some harsh realities that some women do not want to face when they are or may be in a abusive relationship. Women face being labeled as a "battered woman" someone who has lost their morals or values to even stay with a male who is abusive towards them. I believe it is hard for women to leave a abusive relationship because they are scared especially if the abuse has been going on for years. I've seen a lot of movies based on women being abused by their significant other and from those movies i got that the woman has to at some point build this determination to leave that abusive relationship. Furthermore the woman has to feel like she has someone to turn to…

    In The Social Dynamics of Family Violence by Angela Hattery and Earl Smith, they state that “intimate partner violence refers tot he physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse that takes place between intimate partners…between two people who claim or claimed to love each other” (Hattery and Smith 205). Intimate partner violence in a heterosexual relationship can be summarized as a person’s desire to control the power in relationship and force women to be dependent on the man. “There are 2.5 to 4.5 million physical assaults inflicted on adult women by their intimate partner per year” (Hattery and Smith 203). This estimation is believed to be less than what may actually occur because domestic abuse is not sufficiently reported to authorities. A reason as to why women do not fully report these crimes could be that they do not see themselves as a victim, knowledge that an actual crime was committed against them, or simply because they believe that it was a one time incident that will not happen again and they want to forgive their partner.…

    Sadly the victim most of the time has to suffer more then the player, most of the wives and girlfriends are beaten or worse and the NFL does very little to prevent players from committing these crimes. A prime example of this is Josh Brown of the New York Giants. Mr. Brown had admitted to “beating his wife on multiple occasions and was allowed to remain on the roster after only a one game suspension” (Belson). This is outrageous because he had admitted to beating his wife and only was only suspended for one game. He was still allowed to play in the league and remain on the roster after the incident while his wife had to live with being beaten by her husband for the rest of her life.…

    However, even as lopsided the numbers are for domestic violence against men and women, the cases of men being victims are far too underreported, even for their lowered percentage, which, in truth, is far higher than the rumored ‘5%’. Large scale studies, done over several years by the National Institute of Justice and and the Center of Disease Control in America, Canada, and the UK state that, “Men were the victims of DV 38-50% of the time..” and “...835,000 men are the victims of domestic violence each year” (MenWeb). Even with the number of female victims being 1.5 million, 835,00 men a year is not very far behind and is tragic in itself. However, there are still almost no reports whatsoever against women acting out with serious violent toward their male partners.…
