A cultural complicity in violence against women : Comments

By Tasman Bain, published 2/9/2014

Violence against women is both enabled and perpetuated by a culture that maintains a spectrum of sexism and misogyny, from the subtle and casual to the violent and extreme.

The last time I hit a woman.

It does make a very interesting read.

Islam legislates the belief that hitting your wife is ok. Unfortunately it does not fit the feminist narrative so suckers like the author jump on the band wagon.

Violence is a genetic leftover from our primitive past and isn't gender based. Early education and training can circumvent our "natural" tendencies in this and other respects and we're some way towards achieving that, but far from ALL the way. For so long as people insist on focusing on only one aspect of human violence, DV, and run the feminist line that it's a gender problem then we will never deal with it appropriately, nor successfully.
Anyone who's been in a city on any w/e evening has seen the drunken women who shame themselves with their antics and often get violent, with anyone and everyone within reach, and yet it's only male violence that gets any coverage in the media, it doesn't fit the PC line to show the whole truth.
Only when our police and courts start treating everyone the same, irrespective of gender, will we see any advance in the discussion, and treatment, of this ongoing problem. As it stands now a woman has little to fear from making false allegations, she will never be prosecuted for it, nor is she likely to face charges for any violence she commits, even against children, can the same be said for men?
Hardly!
It is a fact that women are responsible for the vast majority of harm done to children yet all we ever hear about is male offenders, and all males are inevitably tarred with that same brush, which creates and entirely false perception of the problems we ALL face.
So, let's see real sexual equality, IN THE COURTS, and then perhaps we can deal with the problem at source rather than jousting with imaginary dragons!

G'dayBruce, where did you get the notion that women who commit violence are not dealt with in the courts?
The Bandyup women's prison here in WA is full to overflowing with women who have been jailed for something, obviously.

I believe that journalists would report every violent death they heard about wouldn't they? Do you think they wouldn't report on a woman perpetrator?
Are all journalists, police and court officials feminists then?

Wow, those famous feminists are just everywhere aren't they...

Now now S, don't you be putting words in my mouth, let alone getting sarky about your misrepresentation.
I didn't say anything about feminists, now did I?
I suggest you research conviction rates for women who face charges, and also things like arrests versus prosecutions, and penalties upon conviction.
There's a well documented disparity in all areas based on gender, only a fool would deny it.
I'd suggest it's a combination of BOTH old-fashioned attitudes and modern PC, strange bedfellows indeed, but the end result is there to be seen, if one only looks.
AS I said, until or unless we face the FACTS we will get nowhere in dealing with an all too common problem.

Woops, sorry, I did mention the "feminist line", my bad, but it changes nothing, IMO, my point/perception is valid and factual.
