Maybe some people are not ready for a relationship

Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports that when a young couple on Shephard Street got into a fight over how to organize their pantry, the girl, 18, threw all the guy's stuff into the driveway and then, when they started yelling about that, she threw bleach at him and sliced him with a knife.
If you click, you'll also see an item suggesting that some people just aren't ready to live with other people, period.

Why, that can't possibly be true! I thought only men are violent and abuse their partners! Well, in any case, it must be his fault; men are sloppy and lazy.
PS:Anyone else notice that despite the bleach and knife, she wasn't charged with assault with a dangerous or deadly weapon?
Organize a shelter
If you see a need, then work to organize a refuge for men abused by their partners and to reduce the shame associated with these attacks. The resources and shelters for women victims are the result of such organizing, so there is even a successful model to follow - one with adequate experience in surrmounting societal resistance.
Sure, women victims of partner violence outnumber male victims 5 to 1, but that doesn't mean that male victims of partner violence don't exist. However, the resources for women have come from activism and mass mobilization against entrenched resistance, not the grace of God or some evil conspiracy against men.
I don't see where your mocking outrage is directed at or coming from. How does mocking what women have acheived fix the societal stigma against a guy like this that may have led him to refuse to press charges?
Wow
You took that way too seriously.
fwwwooooooosh

PS:If we're going to be serious- where do you draw the line? Do I need to go to a separate male-domestic-violence hospital? Oh, whoops! SEPARATE IS NOT EQUAL.
PPS:5-to-1 REPORTED victims, dumbass. Given the entire infrastructure is for women only, and that women and men are roughly equally-likely to be victims of almost every violent crime (save rape), and society's attitude that men a)are the sole perps and b)are stronger than women....did it occur to you that domestic violence against men is under-reported (both because men wouldn't be as likely to show up in the ER and because when they do, they're not believed) or purposefully ignored, because it doesn't fit in with the "women are weak, men are violent" feminist party line?
Dangerous or deadly weapon
Probably no "dangerous or deadly weapon" charges because she refrained from using a shod foot in her attack.
Sounds like a keeper.
