男性――从歧视到被歧视 　　No one could deny the necessity of empowering women and protecting women from discriminations. However， in the process of raising the female status， the government and the general public always forget， or neglect， the fact that men are also suffering from many forms discriminations in the society. 　　没有人可以否定妇女赋权和保护女性不受歧视的必要性。然而，在提高女性社会地位的过程中，政府和大众总是忘记或忽略这样一个事实：男性在社会中也不免遭受着种种歧视。 　　Domestic Violence 　　家庭暴力 　　When we think of domestic violence， images of battered women with bruise or black eyes come into mind. And so often that people wont believe that men are victims of domestic abuse and violence. 　　However， in fact， many men are also the victims of domestic violence.

Support services for male victims remain decades behind those for women.
