By Roger Smith, published 20/8/2007

Maybe it is time to call the feminists’ bluff and perform radical surgery on our dangerous, and often extremely unjust, domestic violence laws.

Once we accept the fact that no gender has a monopoly on abusive behavior then the entire thrust of the feminist argument collapses like a pack of cards.

Also feminists like to talk constantly about male propensity to physical violence. Yes, there is a valid argument that men are more likely to be physically violent than women (about 75% / 25% according to ABS figures). But there it is universally accepted in the literature that women are way more likely to be borderline personality discorder (BPD) and this condition usually involves the sufferer severely emotionally abusing non-sufferers in domestic and personal relationships. BPD is almost a hidden disorder because it is more gender-related than physical violence (overwhemlingly female perpetrator and male or female victim) and just as damaging as the infliction of physical violence.
