government is responsible for what happens in a nation, either by oversight or intervention.
with governance comprised of men's legislatures only, Australia is a patriarchy in which men have
claimed exclusive responsibility at law for all anti-social violence committed against anyone.
patriachy is inherently violent through an imbalance of power between its prinicpal
constituents, the greater the imbalance the more the violence.
governance which balances the powers of primary constituents eliminates anti-social violence.
law enacted by agreement between a women's legislature and a men's legislature balances
power between primary constituents.
the provision of a women's legislature eliminates anti-social violence.

I predict that White Ribbon Day will be back again next year, and that those sad souls who are in denial about male violence towards others will still be bleating about how dreadful women are.

Fortunately, they are in the minority in the real world, where less blinkered men and women know that males are overwhelmingly responsible for seriously violent acts against both men and women.

It would be nice to imagine a society where events like White Ribbon Day are redundant, but unfortunately we clearly have some way to go yet. Meanwhile, male-driven initiatives like WRD will continue to provide a venue where men can show solidarity with women in our efforts to eliminate violence against them.

pynchme:"Unity against violence."

So why have you spent the last 23 pages of this thread trying to accuse those who want a unified response of somehow hating women? Tell us again how "professional" you are, I could do with a good laugh.

CJMorgan:"males are overwhelmingly responsible for seriously violent acts against both men and women."

Just to reassure you, litlle fella, the vast majority of women and men never experience a seriously violent incident. Chances are you're perfectly safe from all of those men you're so scared of.

Feel better now?

Stil waiting for an answer to these:"Why do you and your sistas find the idea of inclusive anti-violence campaigns so threatening? Why should male victims of violence not have equivalent protection as a matter of course?"

Take your time, grrrls...

More lies from Antiseptic.

Being 182cm and over 100kg, I'm neither little nor afraid of men.

Do try and tell the truth, old chap.

a boss who combines 'don't bash a boss day' with 'don't bash an employee day' fails to distinguish between
the roles of boss and employee and would be required to relinquish the position of boss.

it is alleged Bureau of Statistics indicate that in "Australia one in two women will be physically assaulted
at some point in their lives and one in three women will be sexually assaulted. We also know that by the
time a girl turns 18 there is a one in four chance she will have experienced rape or another form of
sexual assault. To put that figure in context we also know that men in prison have a one in four chance of
being sexually assaulted, suggesting that when it comes to rape, what young women endure in their
everyday lives would for men be considered prison conditions".
