If you are being abused and need help right now, call 1-888-7HELPLINE (1-888-743-5754).

If you're a man who's been battered by your (female or male) partner, this is a place to come for support. The only rule I'm absolutely firm on is that abusing others here, or advocating harming others or breaking the law, will not be tolerated. Other than that, any areas of discussion are open. (Note: that's discussion, not proselytization.) If things degenerate into flaming, I'll step in, but otherwise, it's up to you guys.

A related group, Battered Husbands Support News, exists for posting news articles, editorials, forwarded net posts, and similar items. Unless you're using a forwarded item as the basis for discussion, send it there, rather than here.

Women who want to support us are welcome here, but anyone who comes in accusing us of being abusers, liars, antifeminists, or part of some "backlash" will be summarily ejected.
