"Domestic violence does not discriminate" ?! What complete rubbish.

Go into the Alice Springs or Katherine Emergency departments any time and check out the Indigenous women completely busted up, maybe 90 % of all women brought in. And who might be the other 10 % ? The wealthy in those towns ? Gosh, probably not.

No DV discrimination on class grounds ? Check out any Vaucluse street, versus any Mt Druitt street, tonight, Friday, say after 10 pm: there's your 'research project'.

Oh, they keep DV quiet in posh areas, that's why we don't hear about it ? Prove it.

For god's sake, call it like it is. You're not protecting Mt Druitt or Alice Springs women, Jennie, by denying the stark realities of their lives. Leave the half-baked ideas to Philip Adams.

"Imagine the accurate reflection of what domestic violence really looks like if you examine the unreported incidences."

I'm having trouble getting an accurate reflection of what domestic violence really looks like because you have not reported any incidences against men. Don't men matter?

Bren, you say men account for about a quarter of the victims of intimate partner homicides. What proportion of these are perpetrated by men, e.g. a homosexual partner or a woman's former male partner murdering her current male partner (as in the article)?

Perhaps you have heard of Femme Fatale.

Although it doesn't get much attention, I think also that women are much more likely to hire a hitman, than men.

The other thing is that women are often found not guilty, even a woman who laid in wait in a snipers nest and admitted to shooting her husband, was found not guilty.

Alot depends on how things are recorded.

Information that I have is that not all incidences reported by males are recorded by the police.

Why all the denial of domestic violence being perpetrated by predominantly men in all levels of society, in all races, and in all countries?
The truth is frightening if you are female, living anywhere on this earth.

Men are far more likely to be victims of violence outside the home, and from other non-family perpetrators. Where is all the concern for this violence by our resident misogynists? This thread is on DOMESTIC violence, so I guess I shouldn't have mentioned the other sorts of violence of course.

People who are racist, homophobic misogynists don't like to discuss the problem of adult white heterosexual male perpetrated domestic violence in this country for obvious reasons. But it is very real and not to be ignored.

For what reason would anyone want to deny ALL victims of domestic violence the recognition and support they need?

Suseonline,
You might look in the mirror for that 'homophobe'. Because there is a lot of partner violence in LGBTI relationships. But you deny the evidence and roll logs in front of any support for them. All just to satisfy your misandry.
