Funny or bad taste?

Just struggle to see how anyone would assume people would interpret it in mild jest. As such its just stupid.

As an aside, it does piss me off that this is uniquely portrayed as a male on female issue. It is anything but. Fuggin lazy journos.

Except that it's not women killing their male partners or ex partners at the rate of two a week.

Its a horrific thing full stop. Im saying its not uniquely male on female, which it isnt. In fact, more women admit to having used physical violence against males than having experienced it themselves. Your point about the number of women that die at the hands of male partners is horrebdous. Just shows its an issue that should be taken really seriously and portrayed as offender vs victim, not men v women.

Womens Aid is a fantastic organisation, men lack an equivalent. Interesting in this clip to hear one of the founding mothers of domestic refuges say how frustrated she was that the feminist movement hijacked the issue 40 years ago.

114 women were killed by men last year. That's more than two a week.

There is nowhere near the same death rate in men at the hands of women. It is not a "both sides" issue.

Btw, a very quick Google and you will find there is indeed a male equivalent of Women's Aid called Mankind https://www.mankind.org.uk/

If you view domestic violence as only being defined by murder you might have a point. I dont know anyone who does define it like that.

Mankind has far less funding in both a statutory and non-statutory manner than Womens Aid and so lacks the same reach.

Ive no idea how you would suggest it isnt an issue that affects men when you can see it clearly does. Exactly the kind of attitude that perpetuates the experiences men have when they cant get it taken seriously. It isnt a solely male on female issue, simple as that. Surely anyone who cares about it would care about every victim, not those theyve deemed worthy of classification?

Here is the CPS view by the way. Perhaps you could write to them and let them know they've got it wrong?

Domestic abuse, or domestic violence, is defined across Government as any incident of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are or have been intimate partners or family members, regardless of their gender or sexuality. 

Men, women and children can all be victims of domestic abuse. Domestic abuse occurs amongst people of all ethnicities, sexualities, ages, disabilities, immigration status, religions or beliefs, and socio-economic backgrounds.

"Mankind has far less funding in both a statutory and non-statutory manner than Womens Aid and so lacks the same reach."

I wonder why that is? Could it possibly be because male on female domestic violence occurs with far greater frequency and severity than female on male domestic violence?

I don't define domestic violence as only being defined by murder, I am pointing out that for a significant number of women, murder is the end point of their experience of domestic violence.

Nothing you say supports thea assertion thats its solely a male on female issue. Because it isnt. Its impossible to get accurate stats on the issue as men generally dont report. For this very reason.

Why do you think woman who lead the way setting up national refuges in the 70s would say there is a huge problem for men, if there wasnt? Youd think she is well positioned to know. And also to speak differently, if that wasnt the case.

The woman you are referring to is Erin Pizzey, who is now a fully fledged member of the Men's Rights Movement, hence she spends her time slagging feminists off.

I never said it was solely a male on female issue, what I did say is that there is that male violence against women is 1)More common, 2) More likely to be fatal.
