Men Don’t Tell

On March 14, 1993, CBS aired “Men Don’t Tell,” a TV movie about domestic violence starring Peter Strauss and Judith Light. The twist: Strauss’s character, construction executive Ed MacAffrey, was abused by his wife Laura, played by Light. Based on a true story, it dramatizes the story of a loving husband, who is terrorized by the violent behavior of his wife. He had long endured the physical and emotional abuse heaped upon him by his neurotic wife. He tolerates this not only because he loves her and is concerned over the welfare of his daughter, but also because men are traditionally regarded as weaklings if they allow themselves to be battered by their wives. After one of Laura’s destructive tantrums brings the attention of the police, Ed is suspected of being the aggressor! Finally, Laura goes too far and Ed tries to defend himself–whereupon Laura crashes through the front window of her home and is rendered comatose. Ed is arrested for Domestic Violence and Attempted Murder. As he is interrogated, he tells his story of years of abuse, and how he even once sought help by calling a domestic violence hotline, only to get scorned and hung up on. This interrogation takes all night, by highly skeptical police. While this is going on, his children have been taken to their paternal grandfather, himself a retired police officer, to spend the night. In the morning, young daughter, who chose to remain silent through the years of abuse due to the humiliation and shame, asked the

This took me a few weeks to complete. Took some redesigning along the way but I finally got it to where I am comfortable enough with it. I used WeGame to record, sorry for the lag/graphics. But after watching some reviews I heard that this free recording software is best suited for computers of low memory (My system has 2GB).

I really don’t understand why some people request a save file/download link. It really isn’t that hard or that large of scale to gather resources and build this. And you don’t necessarily need to build an exact replica, you can take parts that you like and come up with your own ideas. As for the world, I know it’s nice and I would share the ORIGINAL Alpha seed if it were possible to regenerate, but no tools available can do that. Besides, there are more than plenty of awesome seeds out there to try and discover. Main point is I never really had any plans to put up a save, because for these reasons, I shouldn’t have to. So there really is no point into constantly asking.

    This guy wife has very serious problems like having a anger problem very short fuse, gets into fights, arguements, making a big deal out of nothing, plus hittin’ her husband, breaking things and even hittin’ her own kids. this lady needs to be put in a jail or mental hospital that’s where she belongs so she’ll never hurt anyone again…she’s just a crazy woman a person like her will hardly changed or never will change…beware for a person like this one here.

    I actually wouldn’t mind being in a relationship like this to some extent.

    He would be arrested and throw in jail today in a instant. They don’t need to see you beating your wife, they just assume you did.

    @Leatitia14 He loves her. Its not that simple. You keep praying that this is just a phase and not the real thing.

  8. Leatitia14 says:

    What the hell is wrong with her? What the hell is wrong with him? Why dont you just leave the phsyco your a strong man grow some balls. I understand more if you were Norbit.

  9. Coganboy says:

    @MisandryMotif And not just physical abuse, but emotional abuse as well.

    We have this society with jokes that we’re scared of our wives/lovers, well with good reason! Granted, I think a woman has the right to playfully wack her husband, but I think the only woman a man should fear is his mother, and that’s only when he’s out of line.

    thank youuuuuuuuu!!!!

    Crazy bitch needs to put in a mental hospital!

  12. bluecatky says:

    If I was that guy, i would have called the cops and had the bitch arrested the first time she struck me.

  13. MisandryMotif says:

    @SelfDisgust Indeed, AT LEAST 50% is more accurate. And women initiate mutual violence at least 70% of the time.

  14. SelfDisgust says:

    @MisandryMotif Atleast 50% of abusers are women.

  15. kdreamland says:

    @thejobloshow The only problem with the ending is….you see that the woman needs help. ok. But she does try to tell him….and he cuts her off. No more he says. NO MORE WILL I LISTEN TO YOU. Go get help on your own, or don’t come back at all. essentially.

    It’s really sad to see that at last she starts to acknowledge something, and then she lashes out again. She clearly needs help. shes suffering from what happened to her in her childhood. You can label her as a crazy bitch thejobloshow, but

  16. thejobloshow says:

    He should have ditched that psycho after the first slap. Fucking bitch needs anger management.

  17. kdreamland says:

    lol, if you’re a woman getting beaten up and you can’t leave it’s because they feel trapped, or because of the kids, or because they still love the man. and it’s understandable. They need support and the courage to leave that bastard.

    But if a man can’t leave….it’s because he’s weak. Beacuse he’s spinless, a bitch. Because he’s an idiot. Because he likes it in some weird sexual way. Grow A pair.

    That seems right to me. YET I KNOW IT’S WRONG. Why is it so hard to get my head around this?

  18. kdreamland says:

    why on earth is it so hard to find this movie? just typing in men don’t tell, or men don’t tell movie brings up such random crap…..

  19. MisandryMotif says:

    This was excellent for a straight to TV movie. Fucking 8.5/10 on IMDB is what it should be.

  20. MisandryMotif says:

    @SelfDisgust Why do you think it was straight to TV? Nobody wants to hear that men are abused. 50% of abusers are women.

  21. ManAmongOaks says:

    As the movie accurately shows, for an innocent man who’s the victim of a woman’s domestic violence, the police are his worst enemy. Like “good German soldiers,” they hatefully and bigotedly follow the “orders” training of their evil leader (fuhrer) who enforces the gender feminist thugocracy.

  22. ManAmongOaks says:

    Most male victims of a women’s domestic violence don’t have happy endings to their stories. Most often no one believes them or helps them. They are simply battered by the female, then battered even worse by the taxpayer funded, domestic violence industry. For battered men their battering never ends.

    @lwaits1975 Respect you and to your father. I have been in the situation described by this film. Twice as an adult and once as a child. Tell the truth and tell you Dad that those of us who have been there are grateful.

  24. AVMamfortas says:

    A RARE film.

  25. SelfDisgust says:

    That was alright for a straight to TV movie.
