OTB ". However, feminist inspired "intervention" standards that preclude therapists in many states from doing effective therapy with male batterers is one outcome of this paradigm. "

Really? Which feminists in which states do this? They must have a lot of clout in the justice system. Why aren't all the male members of the justice system doing something about it?

"The failure to recognize female threat to husbands, female partners, or children is another (Straus et al, 1980 found 10% higher rates of child abuse reported by mothers than by fathers)."

Really? You think there has been no recognition of lesbian DV or mother's violence towards children in their home? I thought the jury was already out on the issues involving violent mothers, given that they have custody of the children far more often?

I am sure you could find something on those issues on the Internet that was written/researched since 1980, surely?
How come a scholarly non-feminist hasn't researched and written papers on all these issues as they are so prevalent?

If there is enough credible evidence on any subject, then any bright researcher of any gender or political leaning could write a paper. What is stopping them?
Is it your usual paranoia about some obscure 'feminists' out there who apparently control all the university and justice systems?

Yeah, just like women nag more often.

"If civilization had been left in female hands, we would still be living in grass huts."

Hooray for MGTOW!

Lol! - tone it down, Roscop....if you keep up that level of intellectual sophistication, our brains will explode.

Suse, Poirot,

I have to apologise for the Neanderthals on this thread. You may find it hard to believe but we're not all like that.

Best wishes,

Thanks, Joe

Not hard to believe at all - no men of my association carry on like that.

Practically speaking, Government cannot continue to be seen as discriminating by not acknowledging and providing services to all victims.

The Queensland Premier has opened up communication and consultation that will get more people on board. See here,

<Why I’m backing QLD Labor Premier on male victims
OCTOBER 24, 2015

...
Each year, for example, more Australian males (8.7%) will experienced violence than Australian females (5.3%).

Sure, there are some types of violence that women are more likely to experience and men are more likely to perpetrate (and vice versa). But let’s be clear, most men and women in Australia are neither perpetrators nor victims and all fair-minded campaigners for gender equality should want just three things:

For all victims of violence to be helped, supported and protected regardless of their gender
For all perpetrators of violence to be held to account for their actions and given the opportunity to reform and redeem themselves, regardless of their gender
For all violence to be prevented and ultimately ended, regardless of the gender of the victim of the perpetrator.
..
With this in mind, anyone who is genuinely committed to creating a world free from violence should be welcoming and supporting the Labor Premier’s attempts to include male victims in our response to tackling domestic violence.

To do otherwise is to treat male victims as the enemy and make it harder (if not impossible) for men, women and children who don’t fit into the heteronormative “male perpetrator/female victim” paradigm of domestic violence to get the help and support they need.

This is an archaic view of gendered violence, which lies beyond compassion and reason and has no place in a diverse, inclusive and equal society.>
