Hereorthere, actually many liberal feminists are actively trying to spread awareness about spousal abuse perpetrated by the wife against the husband. Many of the scholarly articles published by and for psychologists, sociologists, and social workers, dealing with domestic violence, tend to focus on violence against men not by men. My husband, who is currently studying to become a social worker, tells me that he is constantly reading and learning about studies showing that men, too, are victims of spousal abuse. This in turn has lead to a slow rise in men who are succeeding in bringing cases of spousal abuse to the police and the courts. In a sense, it is the same feminists who you are accusing of ruining society, that are also fighting for the things you claim society ignores. (No court will accept a case of spousal abuse, even cases brought by women claiming their husbands hurt them, unless there is clear evidence that shows that he is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Whether or not her girl friends believe her claims is sort of irrelevant.)
There is also a fair amount mentioned about the way some children treat their parents. Although I believe that the children’s behavior is not entirely comparable to that of the spouses’ because a child’s mind is not yet fully capable of understanding the complete effects of all their actions. The example you brought, although frustrating, could be considered abuse or bullying,IMO.
