It's not nearly as often discussed as the reverse, but many men have suffered at the hands of abusive women. The Isolated podcast seeks to shed light on the situation and provide resources for men who may be hurting, lost or confused.
According to podcast creator, Navi, 4 of 10 men experience abuse by a domestic partner.
From the Isolated website:
It is estimated that 4 out of 10 men are abused by a domestic partner, and this constitutes only the 10% of reported cases. The stereotype that men are abusers and women are victims is false and dangerous. Abused men are alarmingly underserved and resources for help are minimal. Men are often disbelieved or humiliated if they attempt to report their abuse and feel completely isolated and alone in their terror. We are not therapists or experts in the field but seek to bring the se issues to light and bring awareness to early warning signs of abusive behavior and resources for help. We seek to create a community of safety and for you to know you are not alone. We know you are out there, we know you are hurting, and we know the devastation of relentless abuse. My brother took his own life, leaving a suicide note saying "I just can't take her abuse anymore." Don't be next. Seek help.
