sparticusss, welcome back.

The stripe one the white ribbon is a good approach, it was suggested earlier on the thread.

I've used my post allocation up on the main threads for a while, you suggestion that I need to retract my views about DV on the Male Myths thread is misplaced. I was quoting Booster who earlier made the comment I had in quotes (hoping to see that retraction). I've yet to see the promised retraction.

Some other good links to resources have gone up in on various threads recently.

There is abundant evidence out there that men are not overwhelmingly the perpetrators of DV, mostly those who insist on the view that DV is a male issue refuse to be drawn into discussion about the evidence.

Today Tonight has just run a story on Peter Brocks alleged wife bashings.

What disgusted me was the way the reporter just brushed past her absurd idea that domestic violence KILLS (That’s kills as in dead) more women than breast cancer, as if it were some sort of given.

Some sort of proven fact!


Now while most wife bashings are not reported those numbers are easily balanced by the number of false reports of wife bashings which are actually husband bashings.

But dead bodies?
A dead body is a dead body.
The body count is reasonably accurate.

The body count for breast cancer is a 2.5 thousand a year. The murder rate from domestic violence doesn’t even go into the dozens.

This ridiculous media sensationalism is the real cause of the problem. How can any real cop take the average report of wife bashing seriously when so many lies are being told.
