What crime a man commits against a woman makes you angrier, Rape or Domestic Violence?

I would have to say they both make me mad, and rape could occur within domaestic violence also.

While they are both deplorable, I would definitely have to say that Rape is far worse. Not only is it physically damaging, it violates the woman on a much deeper mental and emotional level. A woman suffers the effects of rape for years longer than just domestic violence.

Both are horrible

I would have to say both are terrible and make me furious, but rape is the ultimate violation in my opinion.

Rape then Domestic Violence. Both are vile, but forced sex is the worst, you can walk from Domestic Violence, but a Rape will never leave you.

I really don't care whether it's a male or female that does either. One person doing either of these to another person, regardless of the gender of the offender and victim, is disgusting.

It's made worse, however, when both rape and domestic violence can be construed to mean almost anything now though.

I would say domestic violence because this is someone who is supposed to LOVE you. So there is a lot more there than just the violence.

They are both based on the same thing, domination over women because of anger, because of fear of women, but it is a man's way of controlling a woman. It is all based on anger and no matter how you look at it, they are both wrong, illegal and a sin against society as a whole.

Both are very bad and makes me angry, but a brutal rape has to be the worst. No woman deserves to have her dignity stripped away like that. With domestic violence there is usually a pattern and the abuse builds so that if a woman can read the signs she can get out early and avoid being severely abused. The death penalty should apply to rapists.

Rape or Domestic Violence is just terribe wrong for anyone who do this active toward to men or women.
it is very wrong for doing that , because if a man is love with his wife , why do he has to hurt her for LOVE? it don't make anysense if he keep beating her all the time or force her to have sex with her. ( when she doesn't want to have sex or not in the mood.) it just like what tina turner said "what love got to do with it?"
even i know some few wife do beat their husbands, i still think it is wrong for her to do that also or even force him have sex is wrong also.
yes, it does make me mad when someone doing rape or domestic violence that need to be stop.
most thing that i never understand why someone get married then changing the way who you are then becoming bad person.
if it was me , i would leave her , because it would be much better than having all those bad thing going on.

The expression 'domestic violence' has now been replaced (here in the U.K.) by 'domestic abuse'. Reasons being, (a) DV suggests physical violence only and (b) violence does not have to be physical - it can also be psychological or emotional (hence DA).

Rape is not just a physical violation against another person. It is also psychological and emotional violation. Physical rape has been condoned for centuries by men and guess who have been in control over law? Women? The power brokers, the people in charge, have almost always been men (a few exceptions in history). Is it remotely possible that men wish to protect their power base?

As a wife, I was subjected to physical rape - by my ex-husband - but the law of the land could not (or would not) countenance that. It was (to the men) a contradiction in terms because a woman was still a chattle, a possession, a "thing" and not a person with human rights.

To answer your question. Rape is part and parcel of 'Domestic Violence'. 'Domestic Abuse' includes all the other stuff men do to women to subjugate, intimidate and keep them in fear. Here, in the U.K., we're waking up to the fact that abuse is more than just physical - as awful as physical rape is. Abuse goes beyond the physical. It damages the brain, the emotions. It damages children, usually the least heard victims of adult violence.

No person on this planet has the right to abuse another person, especially a woman who has stood by her man and borne and brought up his children. Physical rape is despicable, but often goes unpunished or even (by men) encouraged. Domestic Violence goes on all the time and, for the same reasons physical rape goes unpunished, it's because the perpetrators are physically stronger than their victims, who are women and children.

Rape and domestic violence are crimes against God, and will never be overlooked or forgotten by God to whom we will all have to account for on the final day of reckoning.

quite a lot of women who suffer domestic violence suffer rape as well as you've stated. both crimes are as evil as each other random rape is the worst thing that could happen to any one man or woman (( men do get raped also by other men )) after random rape the person has to go through stages before they find peace if ever they do, or acceptance of one form or another

domestic violence is an on going abuse that many woman ((and some men )) have to put up with for years before they manage to escape that relationship, domestic violence doesn't only effect the person being abused it also effects all who live in that houes hold,

Are you referring to the physical rape of a woman, or something like statutory rape where there was actual consent, but due to the circumstances the male broke the law. In the classic sense of rape, where a person forces another person to sexual intercourse, would be worse in my opinion. Domestic violence does not necessarily have to be a "crime a man commits against a woman". It can, and often is, a crime by a woman against a man, or can involve same sex relationships.

Both are crimes of violence and both are about control of the victim. Both are bad, but if I was a woman I think rape would be the most inhumane thing a person could do to me. As a man, it definitely would be.

Both piss me off.....My mother was abused by my dad....and my sister and best friend were both raped....I can't stand either.

If I had to be beaten or raped. I would rather be beat, I honestly don't think I could deal with rape. I have always lived with that fear. as i have lived alone at certain periods in my life. Thank God it never happened.

they go hand in hand !

Wow! This is a tough one for me to answer. This is why...my great neices, Sarah and Amina Said, were murdered by their father (honor killing). The police call this a case of "domestic violence." NOT! To me, domestic violence is what these girls lived through...not thier mom! She did not experience what these girls did. He raped them, when they were very young, then, when they got to be older, he and his son, stalked them....for the purpose of securing their "chastity." What chastity? He had already taken that from them!!!! Then, he killed them, Sarah nine bullets and Amina, two to the chest! Why? Because they had American boyfriends!!! This is NOT domestic violence in the way it is termed, in the USA. This is out right killing your children because they broke, "daddies" rules! I think domestic violence should NOT be allowed and strong penalties should come with such actions. However, I think when it involves radical religious thinking...it should have a name all its own....EVIL WITHIN THE HOUSEHOLD!

As for rape, I am a victim of rape. For years, this ruled my life, with terror! I finally realized that I had given my rapists more power over me than they took....through my own fear! Rape is deplorable and it changes a person for the rest of their lives!!

Both, are equally cruel and have one thing in common....power over the powerless! If our laws were strict enough, on such predators, the numbers of these occurances would drop! END? NOPE! There will always be someone out there who thinks he/she is above all laws! There will always be people who seek to live in a world which is only supported by thier thoughts, wishes and desires...in as much, cruelty to women and children will never end!

As for angrier, I think rape leaves you feeling insecure, non-trusting of many men and causes us to think fearful thoughts when there is no need! This did and does make me angry as it just happens after something like this! In domestic violence, it is just the opposite. Many who are abused, actually have protected the abusing family member! Instead of putting trust into the law, they place a false sense of security into being a puppet to keep the angry abuser happy! It is a weird way to think but, until you've been there...you simply cannot judge how people act and do act.

BOTH are unacceptable By God, and BOTH Have their Pay-days ! "What-so-ever a Man soweth, THAT shall He also REAP!" ( Life Is LIKE a Boomer-rang!!!)

BOTH!

Being a 'survivor' of both...domestic.

Domestic usually implies a 'relationship' of some sort...therefore feelings of the heart, emotions, are involved. Much greater feeling of betrayal or worthlessness...

And to the ones who say you can 'walk away'...it's more difficult than you can even imagine.

The ONLY way to get completely past it...is to forgive. You may not agree...but it's the truth. Hate, bitterness, and anger will keep you tied emotionally to the event. When you give it to God, and FORGIVE...as He forgave you...it no longer rules your life.

I am not trying to be rude but this question is stupid~ Period. The End.

Actually both. Either one causes physical & emotional damage. I have been thru abuse & the healing process is very long. In all honesty....I could never figure out why some women go back. It just gets worse.

What a sexist comment. This happens just as much by the hand of females as it does by males.

Is this a question or hatemongering towards men in general?
