‘There’s a stigma of not wanting to tell your friends that a lady could do that to you’: Husband beaten by his prison reform boss wife tells GMB he kept campaign of abuse secret for 20 years because it’s ‘hard’ for men to speak out

Our thanks to Nigel for this. He comments:

Of course the sentence is pretty short for such a case, the worst case the female Judge has seen apparently. However I’m heartened at the overwhelmingly positive comments on this story. He is a brave man and the story shows all the features of such abuse towards men. The fear of losing contact with children, the social isolation (easier for women to do for as the feminists are always saying wives are usually the centre of the family social network), the fear of being accused of abuse by the woman and the all too common situation where the abuse is brought to light by a third party.

The comedy (i.e. the race) starts at 5:36. All the teams other than the Polish team ran with the order man / woman / woman / man. The Polish team captain was clearly a misogynist, deciding on the order man / man / woman / woman. The consequences were as inevitable as they were hilarious. Enjoy.
