Sigh... Look what you made me do, you made me upvote Jeremy Kyle.

Jeremy Kyle may be a twat, but he's right about this not being a laughing matter.

I feel like there is a seriously high amount of male domestic violence victims on imgur, im not sure why i just get that impression somtimes
klubai4
That's because there is a high amount of male domestic violence victims. Not as high as women, but still high.
Koztah
I can look it up later, but I was reading a few days ago that of all domestic violence victims, males are in the high 40s percentage-wise.
klubai4
Yeah I saw that too. An estimate, of course, as these things tend to be. Too many go unreported.

I think there's a difference between sustained abuse, and a specific incident. Dude wanted to get out, but went about it foolishly.

Help hardly comes for male victims.
Greeneyeddevil
1)because some people just suck 2) his audiences are the fucking WORST. They're like Jerry Springer audiences but think they're not.
Relsus
It's because the thought of a woman abusing a man in a relationship is treated as a joke in our culture.
mybrothersmario
Either that or the image of someone jumping off a third story building is a bit funny.
melodramaticbat
Jeremy Kyle is an exploitative show that profits off disturbed or misfortunate people. Bad as some of the guests are, the people who 1/2

Problem is that femenists also can't care about it. They still view domestic violence being a male crime.

Feminists care quite a lot about it. Jackasses that hate men and call themselves feminists even though they don't understand feminism don't.
slylee
Yes, this. So much this. Thank you.

The problem is that they get so much media attention. Sarkeesian destroys any respect gamers can have for feminism. Still media attention.

I find it very difficult to take someone seriously when they use the word "patriarchy". The U.S. is most certainly not a patriarchy.

You don't believe gender norms are the root of all male and female issues?
Ricochet64
Patriarchy =/= gender norms, and I have no idea how you ever thought it was.
eatingketchupchips
yes it does equal that, except it's acknowledging male gender norms are simultaneously insulting to women.
eatingketchupchips
but from your other comment you refuse to accept that. (even though "throw like a girl" and "pussy" and "bitch" prove my point)

What "feminine traits" do you think he has that are being laughed at?
Theodrian
I think societal gender norms are societal gender norms, not a misused buzzword.
Tangerine102
What, exactly, do you define the patriarchy as?
eatingketchupchips
Societal gender norms with feminine qualities as inferior and masculine as ideal (which harms both men and women)
SayIAmYou
So in this particular situation, where a man is being abused by a woman, the woman is still the real victim?
eatingketchupchips
No not at all. Where are you getting that from? I'm saying the reason people dont often view men as victims is because of this disparity
valaja
NO. Ofc the man is the real victim. They're laughing, because he's obviously not masculine enough to resist a weak, feminine woman. 1/2
Tangerine102
If masculine qualities are ideal, why are masculine women looked down upon?
eatingketchupchips
they aren't by women, only by men. hence the word 'bossy' 'shrill' etc to describe female leaders. It's about 'emasculation'.

I don't think so. If you listen closely it's only a portion of the audience laughing, especially at first. Canned reactions aren't like that
Denvercoder09
I dunno I can see your point but why would they laugh in the first place? Seeing the world as a strawman isn't the best idea.
Thornbrier
because its a tabloid tv show
ohyouknowjustsomeguy
Sometime they tell the crowd how to act. Maybe its the case here. Like the applauses can be control that way.
Denvercoder09
This is true. With those, laugh or applaud signs. They would have had to plan it out earlier in advance or a laugh track or something
ohyouknowjustsomeguy
during break they could also explain to the crowd why they will laugh and stuff like that. In one word: MEDIA! :D
Maboroshi1994
jeremy kyle is a piece of shit and his show is exploitative drivel...but he makes a fair point here.

profcommie
I think I've watched a few too many panel shows. I've never seen Jeremy Kyle, am American, and agree with you completely on all points.
Maboroshi1994
it's kinda like the british version of something like maury/steve wilkos...if the only people he had on were trailer trash.
LarvaLamp
Sooo.... Jerry Springer?
Maboroshi1994
...he had the bizarre. jeremy kyle goes for the dregs. kyle has on stereotypical british trash essentially. no teeth, addicts, tracksuits.
profcommie
That's my point, I've consumed so many british comedians, BBC panel shows and the like, that I know what you mean. A bit like Jerry Springer
Maboroshi1994
jerry springer had the bizarre on his show,kyle has stereotypical british trash. no teeth, tracksuit wearing, can barely talk etc.

True, the Maury comparison was probably more apt. My point was that, thanks to Jimmy Carr, Bill Bailey, etc... I got the reference.

Just about every talk show is 'exploitative drivel' to some degree or another, but occasionally, very rarely, do they make a good point.
AppleOfClowns
"Talk" show, that's funny. Have you ever seen it? He spends more time shouting at all of his guests than he does talking.

Quite a few of his shows put people in the help they need if they are willing to do so, just watch a few of his shows and you'll see.

i like how another commenter put it, "human bear baiting" i think sums it up nicely. i think his show exploits those that are on it.

How? He helps them with lie detectors, drug tests, dna tests etc. The guests may not be able to afford it otherwise

ShaggyUK
He's nothing like Jerry Springer. All the the people on Jezza Kyle show are real
Whitejack
Wouldn't you agree that there is something ethically disturbing in making money by airing people's serious life problems on national TV?
ShaggyUK
If people are willing to do so I can't see a problem with it. If people find it ethically disturbing than they shouldn't watch the show
squirtyrat
Don't need to watch the show to hate him. Many of the people he quizzes don't have the education to know he's made them a laughing stock.
ShaggyUK
That's a bit silly of you then. I'm sure they do, please dont presume they're idiots
Whitejack
I get the whole "we revhelping them fix their lives" but isn t the show really about the viewers having a sense of superiority?

Yes. Jeremy belittles and humiliates them whilst the audience laughs. Then he tells them they're scum and leaves them to the counsellors.

He didn't want to perform a sexual act with her, she coerced him into doing it. Isn't that rape?

According to the definitions of today, absolutely. If he did not give clear consent throughout, it's rape.
wobbu
Sorry if I sound ignorant because I haven't seen it, but there's a very definite difference between "being a bit pushy" and "rape."
MrRandom314159
Not reaalllly? The point is that while she was being manipulative, he still could have stopped at anytime. She wasn't physically forcing him

I have recently learned that Louis CK likes to masturbate in front of women without their consent.
Maboroshi1994
if i remember right this is from his show and was meant to mock the person he was talking to on FOX news, in other words, not real.

this happened...on his show.words of a character don't necessarily reflect the views of the writer. plus it was a reducto ad absurdum attack

Jeremy Kyle is a nasty piece of shit who takes advantage of the less fortunate for his own gain. Fuck him, and fuck his exploitative show.

CitizenDickbag
He cultivates an audience based on the lowest denominators and then reacts indignant when they act poorly. He's right, but it's hypocrisy.
witsd
Not to mention that these twits are fed free alcohol (including alcoholics) the night before, and prodded with a stick until they crack.
pumpernicklelel
Why the hell would you say that?
FindYourChillMate
fuck them. Its always the kind of people that are on his show that watch it.
witsd
Not always. A lot of people enjoy watching the 'Jeremy Kyle scum' to make themselves feel better about their boring lives.
FindYourChillMate
just as many are the idiots that go on his show.
zildjianvibes
I agree. Fuck that guy.
AngryAndConfused
Preach!

Rodvitner
Oh, you mean like ALL these TV shows? No other show like this is any different. They're all shit, exploiting people and creating stupid ppl
popejubal
They all have problems, but some are very much worse than others.
witsd
They are all exploitative, but Kyle has a particularly nasty approach.

I agree with this... but I do also agree with what he said in the gif
witsd
So do I. Even nasty people can make accurate statements. I just don't want people thinking he's always right.
DesiredUsernameWasTaken
It's not his show, he's just the host. You might as well be saying "Walmart is a shit-hole. FUCK THE GREETERS".
witsd
Given that one of his regular lines is "Look whose name is up there", I don't think the show would continue if he quit.
areeeet
Jeremy kyle's the fucking boyo. Prime time day time tv m8. It makes you feel normal as fuck compared. Although I do agree with you.
witsd
I'm not sure I'd want to feel 'normal' at the expense of a few simpletons who have been provoked into acting daft.
areeeet
True, but they're signing themselves up to go on and getting paid for it. It's not like he's out on the street with a net.
buttermyarse
But some of the peoplw are clearly very vulnerable. Lots of young kids and people who appear to have learning difficulties. Its wrong

(The fact that he's making a reasonable point here doesn't change that)
Goodwolf
His cuntiness notwithstanding, if he's right, he's right. Not to acknowledge it is just simple ad hominem arguing.
backtobackpanicattack
Yeah, when Jeremy Kyle isn't wrong, he's right :|
Vespy
Except in this case it's important to not let the weasel get any false respect. He's a peddler of human meanness and disgust.
Goodwolf
Yeah, but it's not that hard to accept that he's a cock, but one who's correct on this one instance. At least, it's not that hard for me.
witsd
I'm not making the personal attack to minimise his point. I'm making it because he doesn't deserve any positive publicity at all.
aramil31
A good point is a good point, no matter who says it. If it was Hitler saying this, I'd say "Hitler makes a good point about this".

Of course. But you wouldn't want people who didn't know him to assume that Hitler always made good points, would you?

Apparently it's 'sposed to be an antonym. envy at others success, rather than joy at their failure. Made up word, slang english not german.

Ionlylurkbecausemymemegameissoweak
But freudenschade isn't a german word...
Sittingonabigblueboxlolwtfmars
It's a made up word. I think OP got the wrong word from Urban Dictionary and used it. The only correct version is Schadenfreude (English).
kishinlemming
So. Misery out of the joy of others?
kishinlemming
There's a word-ish for that in English, though. Killjoy.
LoinKing
I think that's the opposite. Joy out of the misery of others. Which... would I guess be where we started from.
Demauscian
Not really, a killjoy is someone who deliberately 'kills the joy' of others, but is not necessarily miserable due to their joy.
kishinlemming
That's why I said ish.
yourekillingindependentgeorge
Yeah this is exactly the kind of bullshit that shouldn't be happening anymore. I sympathize with that guy 100%. Yes I've had a crazy ex.
redbikemaster
Me too man
FlamingCh1cken
Read that as "yes I've had crazy sex"
yourekillingindependentgeorge
That too.
sirjuicyfruit
damn, i feel fad for this guy too. i never had to deal with a crazy ex, but ive seen what happens to my sister after a break up
RIPSlurmsMckenzie
Me too, not near locking me up type thing. But verbal and physical.
SizzleSphinx
I read "yes I've had crazy sex" as if that have you credibility.
yourekillingindependentgeorge
Yeah that too.
TheDeceptiveBanana
My brother's ex broke down the door he was hiding behind.
NothingRhymesWithClockworkOrange
Guys are like this too... That audience response is just appalling and I don't think representative of most people.
imguryousuck
In my experience, it is representative of most people. People are sexist dickbags.
NothingRhymesWithClockworkOrange
And in my experience, people are more sexist towards womenvin general, and guys on sites like this just like to bitch.
imguryousuck
In my experience it is quite the opposite. But I live in the Northeast so I dont experience the sexism in the South or midwest.
NothingRhymesWithClockworkOrange
In your experience men are assaulted more and treated with less respect? According to imgur, men are opressed and women have it easier.
LadyRin
I am a lady and I sympathize with him completely. Scary exes are no joke, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
yourekillingindependentgeorge
Yep. Doesn't matter the gender. Crazy is fucking scary.
yesitscooliotime
Mine was flick a switch beat down mode crazy.
yourekillingindependentgeorge
Yeah there was an element of that with mine as well. But it was mostly verbal/emotional abuse

BlindyBlindMansSonnySon
I remember reading about a guy who was being abused by his GF, she would pour boiling water down his legs and beat him with ash trays 1>
BlindyBlindMansSonnySon
she also ran up hundreds of grand of debt in his name and he reached out for help and no one gave a shit because he was a man it wasn't 2>
BlindyBlindMansSonnySon
until a neighbour heard screams from the flat and called the police and they found him half dead and in a police man took him by the hand 3>
BlindyBlindMansSonnySon
and said 'you never have to go back in this house again' and he said he broke down crying. ALL domestic violence needs to be taken seriously
Nepeta33
please tell me he didnt have to pay for the debt she racked up
LunchingtonMC
Mine stabbed me in the head after her friend kicked in my door. I pinned her arm behind her back because I was TERRIFIED.
LunchingtonMC
I went to jail for it. I still have the scar.
LunchingtonMC
she also used to force me to have sex with her, resulting in my 16 year old. No one believes me.
Feenfurn
I have a crazy ex husband who thinks I'm a crazy ex wife.
yourekillingindependentgeorge
Yeah my ex convinced her whole family I hit her, among other things. She was pretty manipulative.
Ostinisdehsechz
i have a crazy fucking baby daddy who thinks im a crazy baby mama and its like, no. you're still OBSESSED with me and it's been 5 years.
Feenfurn
My ex not only thinks I still want him but convinced his wife that I still want him and she parades around like his trophy wife. LMAO
Ostinisdehsechz
My ex can't hold a stable relationship. It's amazing to watch them go up in flames. He's just... A shitty person. Seriously.
Feenfurn
My ex molds himself to be exactly what she wants him to be. This time though he found someone who doesn't want kids, he wants 7.....
Feenfurn
My ex is a shitty person because he lies and has to keep up in the lies. It's really pathetic but he will get his sooner or later.
Feenfurn
I'm hoping he cheats on her with some 22 year old that wants a really big family. LMAO! His wife is a huge thorn in my side. KARMA
Feenfurn
I'm just going to sit back and watch how this one pans out. They've been together 7 years now. I know he's wanting children by now
codyyy
My ex came over once right after we broke up and stole all my pillows and blankets while I hid in my closet. Just so I'd have to call her
DeadyBearr
I would have called the police and bought myself new shit and changes my locks. That shit isn't cute.

Psychological strongholds work just as well as physical ones. Most of us don't cope very well with threats from loved ones.
LiquidPoo
Me too! She used to threaten me with her friends that would come kill my mom's dog if I ever broke up with her. Terrible BJs too.
ifoundthegenius
Sorry it was a lose lose situation
LiquidPoo
she took my virginity, so there's that.
MongoBro
Get it back from her
ozzycats
dont stick it in crazy man...
LiquidPoo
that would require talking to her. fuck that shit. I would rather summon the devil. probably have a better outcome too.
SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio
I don't think this is about an ex.... It says "when I came out." I'm assuming his mom or something, because he's gay.
SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio
when you* but still, same thing

When you cam out, meaning on the show, he says it a lot.

Yeah, I was thinking/wondering the same.

Thats borderline personality disorder
yourekillingindependentgeorge
Yeah it's a disaster. What are you gonna do? Call her bluff? But that *is* what you have to do cos its not your responsibility. Shit sucks
efhawthorne
I told her parents and best friend that she was suicidal, and then blocked her from all my social media/text. I apologized, and left.
yourekillingindependentgeorge
She had already prepared her mom with enough BS to cause her to not believe me. Or she didn't care and didn't want to admit it.. Either way.
efhawthorne
Woof. Yeah, brutal. Sometimes, it's best to run away.
ZoranKnight
I had that happen to me

Psychological abuse is every bit as bad as physical abuse, indeed.

Mine was stalker crazy, not lock you up in a bathroom crazy
Ohnoaginger
Ex did this, ~half of my friends didn't take it seriously. That shit was really unnerving.
Sholan
Mine spent 6 months asking why i was dating X person instead of her "Probably cause one of you doesn't follow me around?"
Ohnoaginger
Did you go pure NC or did you answer? Mine would park down the block and just sit there... Or randomly drive by... It was weird

Mine still is :(

Mine was punch you in the balls then break your nose crazy.

i have this situation right now! she is so crazy
kyrtian
Mine was "threaten to kill herself if I leave her after she cheats on me" crazy
Sholan
Hey I almost had one of those. She was just pissed off that I did and started making it out like I cheated. Too bad everyone knew
yourekillingindependentgeorge
Mine was take one of my guns and go drive somewhere and call and threaten to kill herself crazy. And that was just the tip of the iceberg..
Beng97
Dude thats exactly how my last one was, but she was doing it all for attention. Nearly ruined my life cause i cared too much.
yourekillingindependentgeorge
Yep same here.
Sholan
I'd have called the cops and then requested an officer come to my house until someone finds her. Nope that shit HARD
yourekillingindependentgeorge
Yeah they don't care most of the time because no one knows where she is. It's basically 'call us when she says that shit at home'
Sholan
"Crazy person with stolen gun" - at least a CYA in case she went on a spree instead of suicides
