When BS irrelevant to the issue clutters the thread it is necessary to keep on with reminders of the issue - domestic violence. The BS is a diversion from confronting the violent criminals who actually do domestic violence.

To Emperor Julian: 'You have said this same thing so many times I am starting to wonder who you are really trying to convince./ Perhaps you are afraid that there might be a violent criminal lurking just below the surface in your own personality and you want to be locked up before you hurt someone.'

Resorting to this kind of psychobabble is a low blow. Considering what you accused him of, EJ's reply to you was a lot more restrained than you deserved.

YOU are the one who is saying the same thing over and over. No one here is embracing your argument, so just agree to disagree. To co-opt another well-worn psychobabble trope - get over it and move on.

I've just re-read EJ's previous comment to you. I must have overlooked this part at the end: '... where does the stubborn reluctance to solve the problem and move on come from? It must be from an ingrained fellow-feeling with violent criminals.'

So, I acknowledge he provoked you by firing the first shot. Even so, your presumed argument is not making a lot of sense and constant repetition does not enhance it in any way

Killarney:

I think EmperorJulian is quite capable of defending himself without your patronising assistance.

Is there something else that is really bothering you?

Yeah Killarney,
How about you back up these statements about rape and DV culture?

Please show examples of where Rape and Domestic Violence is openly and publicly championed and celebrated or retract your statement.
Don't you realise this is why no-one takes feminist rhetoric seriously?
Prove your argument or don't say it.

Also not impressed about you putting words into my mouth earlier.
You state things as if others said them when they didn't say them, then use those statements as a cue move into your 'play the victim' spiel.

Also I think many of you don't truly understand the full spectrum of this issue.
If I showed just one instance of where the guy standing in the court for DV was as much a victim of the woman's actions as the woman is a victim of the mans DV (possibly only verbal abuse) then your whole premise that its always 100% the mans fault goes straight down the toilet.

DV need not be physical abuse, it can be verbal and emotional abuse.
A woman's insecurities, manipulation, emotional blackmail and emotional abuse can very much be the cause of what pushes a man over the edge.
In a case where the woman emotionally blackmails a man to kill herself if the man leaves, then a mans verbal abuse when pushed into a corner is not unreasonable.

The OP asked why the Queensland Labor government ignore the recommendations of its own task force.

The answer is that Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk heads a government that is long on rhetoric and reviews, but doesn't do anything.

Palaszczuk did move to ban some young backpackers' cheap vans though. That was fake virtue signalling to the feminist old bangers who resent vulgarity they are not responsible for themselves.
