Liz:”What about those women who have male workboot imprints on their pregnant bellies? Or those who present to have a termination covered in bruises! How about those blokes?”

Mostly I would like to find the woman that raised them and introduce her to my boot but would maybe have made her job easier if society wasn’t there reinforcing what our boys were supposed to grow up to be like.

Having known a few wife beaters it is their mothers that have fascinated me. One son is and one son isn’t but she treats them the same and the fathers of the violent men seem to take a step back. These men were not given a message it wasn’t acceptable by females in their families, quite the opposite, all very strange.

Anti:”It also said most perpetrators were either married or in stable relationships and that their husbands or partners had no knowledge that they were even pregnant. Some women have done it many times.”

Oh... I think I read a different article. How were they getting away with that and remaining outside of prison? What is MJA?

@Antiseptic! You DO NOT supply references for everthing you assert. Where's the references for MJA(I presume that it means, Medical Journal of Australia.) I've read quite a few articles by the MJA re domestic violence and child sexual abuse - overwhelming majority of perpetrators are male I must stress! I suppose you'll ignore this aspect all together as you do anything that gets too close and challenges your misogynist views.ALMOST EVERY COMMENT TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE HAS NO BASIS IN FACT, but you do the "bingo" or "gotcha" rubbish and then go on a diatribe of my motives and life experiences, as though your views have credibility - you do the 'SERMON ON THE MOUNT' every time you post! You do not know how to debate women, due to your ingrained hatred of all women!

This topic is about domestic/family violence, not SIDS or neonatice. The overwhelming body of evidence states that, women make up the overwhelming majority of victims, and men the same re perpetrators. You can quote from a few essays, but that leaves millions of others that differ or critically analyse those views! You don't want to know about them! You adopt the three wise monkeys view - don't see, hear or speak the truth!
This is my 4th post??

Liz45.0, The topic of this discussion is the "Gender-based Approach Misses the Mark in Tackling Family Violence". I would have thought a mother murdering her partner's baby or infant would come under the heading of family violence.

It's just that you want to cherry pick and focus exclusively on mens' violence against women and therefore avoid discussing violence perpetrated by women towards men and children.

I've also read MJA articles re dv in the past. Articles written by feminist doctors wanting doctors to routinely solicit information from their female patients about their partner's treatment of them.
