Moment Four.

In reading chapter four from our text about the men's movements and trying to change society's view of them; particularly about discrimination they face because of their gender. It made me think of this movie I had recently watched. A movie called Abducted: A Father's Love. The father is trying to protect his daughter from his ex wife's new abusive partner. All throughout, most are thinking the father is the problem, and the mother has the right to her own daughter, no matter what. She is the mother, and that counts for everything. But the father somehow gets involved an underground safe haven, that if I remember correctly, is to help females run from abusive or volitle relationships. When he tried to become involved by calling the number he had been given, they automatically assume he is looking for his wife. When in actuality, he is the victim. It took a lot of convincing for them to believe him.

Some people, to this day, have a hard to believing that men can be victims in a relationship because they are supposed to be powerful and aggressive. Yet, there are some men who are just the opposite, as is this man in the movie. Some men are just not violent, or aggressive and would never result to that. Why is that people have a difficult time understanding that women can be the aggressor, or the dominating one in a relationship?
