There is a slight chink of light appearing at the moment through the overarching feminist blackout on male victims of dometic violence. There have been a few radio programmes on the subject and, very recently the Welsh branch of ManKind was asked to submit real experiences of men who have suffered for a publication by the BMA. In the preface they acknowledge ManKind's contribution.

We submitted four but only two were used; still, it's a start. But we must press on pushing this issue until the final truth emerges: that women are as violent as men. Anyone who doubts this can read all four cases I refer to on the ManKind Wales web site at www.mankindwales.org.uk

There is also a short article on the four vicious women who forced two toddlers to fight each other while thay all laughed and made a video of the whole child abuse episode. NSPCC published figures clearly show that women perpetrate most child abuse, but this was really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

David Hughes of Mankind is right to say that we must push this issue. My own case is proof of this. I was hospitalised twice and classified as a battered husband in 1986 yet - 21 years later - there is no improvement in the attitude of the police, local authorities or, generally, the public to the problem of domestic violence against men. We must all bring about change instead of merely being another 'talking shop'.

VERNON COUCH

One of the largest hurdles for a male victim of domestic assault at the hand of his female partner is to convince the social services. How can a large man prove his little demure wife can be capable of inflicting such terrible injuries on him.The social workers and g.p.s need to get their act together on this matter before more men are killed.
