A quote from an article well worth reading,

<Feminist dogma whips up the domestic violence industry

Campaigns such as Destroy the Joint’s Counting Women project insist on making domestic violence a gender issue. It claims 66 women are victims this year, with the implication these are all “intimate partner” homicides, perpetrated by males.

In fact, only about half of the homicides cited could be classified as having a male partner or ex-partner identified as the killer.

Some of the 66 victims were killed by women, by sisters, daughters, a female neighbour or, in one case, a female ex-lover of the victim’s husband, as well as by brothers, fathers, and sons, strangers, acquaintances and persons unknown.

Domestic violence is a serious enough without exaggerating.

The activists cherrypick facts to support their dogma, rather than using statistics to better target scarce resources to help the most vulnerable victims, and to address the root causes of domestic violence.

To break the intergenerational cycle of violence, I wrote that we need to “end the welfare incentive for unsuitable women to keep having children to a string of feckless men”. This was twisted to claim that I had called victims of domestic violence “unsuitable women”.

The dishonesty is clear. The aim is to avoid the obvious, that boys brought up in an environment of chaos, dysfunction and violence, who are neglected and abused, are more likely to become abusive, violent men with poor impulse control.

But these are not facts the man-bashing femi-fascists who control the domestic violence industry want to hear.>

It's even more obvious that incarcerated bashers can's bash anyone but one another.

And didn't the commentary you refer to make the defenders of the DV industry with its propaganda, such as AWW and MamaMia websites, turn livid.

"My point has always been that I don't really care who writes what about this subject, I just want to see the DV deaths stopped, and whatever is happening now is not working obviously."

If that's really the case then maybe you could stop sniping at those of us trying to get evidence based science used as the basis of policy rather than the current ideological approach that at best perpetuates the deaths (and all the lesser hells of violence and bullying that don't go that far).

While you snipe from the sidelines clearly failing to understand the topic ands the underpinnings of why its gone wrong you are not indicating much actual interest in seeing it end. As per my poorly written post of the other day while you ignore the likely male deaths and just refer to claimed numbers of female deaths you are not showing much interest in seeing it ended.

otb,

"To break the intergenerational cycle of violence, I wrote that we need to “end the welfare incentive for unsuitable women to keep having children to a string of feckless men”. This was twisted to claim that I had called victims of domestic violence “unsuitable women”."

Poor Miranda!

She blast out of the article box all guns blazing, attempting to unload blame onto female victims for their situations - terms them "unsuitable"...."unsuitable" - what does that mean?

So this hack who calls herself a journalist, does what she always does - which is promote some publicity for herself by writing something outrageous.

Then...she gets to write a follow up article on all the outrage she's engendered, keeping the spotlight firmly on herself and her half-baked partisan nuttery.

Shes the perfect hack for you to quote!

RObert,

"While you snipe from the sidelines clearly failing to understand the topic ands the underpinnings of why its gone wrong..."

Ergo, Suse doesn't know what she's talking about - while RObert is a full bottle.

I like this:

"....ignore the "likely" male deaths...."

"....and just refer to "claimed" numbers of female deaths..."

Isn't rhetoric fun when we can quietly slip in such descriptors!

Poirot,

Feminists are so predictable: a woman columnist who disagrees with them is guilty of 'wrongthink' and is an enemy.

It is irrelevant that what she is saying has considerable merit.

After all, the feminists are not really about treating 'domestic violence' at all but trying to feather-bed their own victim entitlement by falsely stereotyping all men as molesters and abusers.

Shabby!
