Oh come on you guys get your heads out of the sand!

Do you think the police, courts and statisticians colluded to falsify these statistics just to hide the 'real' truth that there are all these women out there bashing all the poor defenseless men to death in their homes?

As MHA showed us above, 66% of domestic violence victims were women, and 70% of perpetrators were men. Doesn't it look different noted down that way?

How do you disregard murder statistics among domestic violence victims......overwhelmingly female.....but hey, I bet you guys know the real story don't you?
Those murdered women must have asked for it, and their deaths are only to be expected.
Yeah right.

The men involved in the three anecdotal cases I mentioned in a previous comment were all violent, abusive husbands - and they were each on their second or third divorces.

All had been through the DV system in their past divorces, so they knew how to get around it. Their typical tactic was to bring frivolous DV complaints against their wives in order to neutralise any attempt the wives might make to bring DV orders against them. They also belonged to MRM groups, who routinely advise their members to use these tactics, i.e. 'If you don't do it, she will.'

So there is a strong anecdotal case to be argued that some of the statistics are reflecting this increasing tendency for men to take out frivolous DV orders simply as a 'legal protection' device and/or to give them a perceived legal advantage during divorce proceedings.

After all, we are constantly hearing that women are supposed to be abusing the DV system for their own advantage. So, why should we assume men are NOT?

Ah, yes, of course! The feminist ‘dialectic’ was laid down by a bunch of dead middle-class white men. And then a bunch of living middle-class white women dutifully turned that dialectic into a dogma to feather their own already very comfortable middle class nests.

Yeah. Yeah. Heard it all before. That’s the main ‘dialectic’ pushed by anti-feminist ‘dogma’. It portrays feminism as a mainly white American middle-class phenomenon – not a global struggle by one half of humanity to overcome the entrenched socio-political inferiority inflicted on them by the other half.

‘We boys and you girls are all in this together, you know.’

No, we are not. We occupy the same geographical space, but in a socio-political sense, women and men occupy separate universes.

No matter what class, culture, nationality, religion, minority or majority women belong to, they live their entire lives within a male-centric culture. Men do not live their lives within a female-centric culture. (Although, if you take any of this anti-feminism, MRM rhetoric seriously, you'd be forgiven for thinking that feminists control the whole world!)

Dear Killarney you make me laugh...

Haha..very funny..the men got in first the next time. So its only men, thanks to advice received from the evil MRM groups,who know how to manipulate and unfairly exploit the legal system. That just tells us the system is wide open to abuse. Thanks for adding support to my argument. Oh and of course women would never unfairly exploit the system...they are all innocent little petals and besides as the domestic violence industry mantra goes you should always believe the self-described victim (only if the person is female I understand).

Please carry on.

sheesh...

so much for mature discussion.

You really do just hate blokes. How weird.

Oh, by the way, Friedan and Abzug were women, Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique and they both started the National Organisation of Women. I believe Abzug is still alive.

Never mind, I'm sure your mental hygiene is far too good to allow silly things like information get into that thick head of yours.

You've finally convinced me you're genuinely mentally deficient. Congratulations.
