Heh. Self-indulgent reply deleted. I whine too much. Sorry.
I regret I don't know any books about how to help men respond constructively to verbal abuse. I went to The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense to find help in that area, specifically in response to some dealings with female relatives of mine; and to find that the author SEEMED TO be blaming me for any possible problem merely because I was male, struck me harder than perhaps it should have.
I dare say we could use something like that. Gods know I'm too poor at it and too screwed up to try my hand at anything like that. Think I'll stick with space opera.
