In yesterday's post, the NSPCC's Childline report (What Boys Talk To Childline About) on the increase in calls by boys was reviewed. However, there was one section that was worthy of a separate post.
On pages 10 and 11, the section on physical abuse revealed that:-
(1) Boys said that 39% of perpetrators were fathers and 28% mothers
(2) Girls said that 37% of perpetrators were mothers and 25% fathers
In terms of sexual abuse (pages 12-14):-
(3) Boys said that 21% of perpetrators of sexual abuse were fathers, 18% mothers (no figures for girl callers which is unfortunate as that would have added balance)
The reason why these figures are significant is two fold:-
Firstly, the anti-male domestic violence industry would have it that women do not attack men, only the other way around. All those that disagree are delusional, well, they are not. Violence against men also occurs in the mother- boy relationship as well as the wife-husband relationship.
In addition, it is worth noting how close these figures are. The ratio of 39% to 28% is 60% fathers/40% mothers).
The same is for sexual abuse, the ratio of 21% fathers to 18% mothers is 54%/46%, again much closer than the propaganda against fathers would suggest.
Secondly, the figures are significant because propaganda always show a father hitting their daughter when the facts show it is more likely to be the other way around. The most infamous is the Barnado's advert, the most complained about advertisement of last year (link) which shows a father repeatedly hitting his daughter.
So ingrained is the anti-male culture we live in, that charity's like Barnados and others who always show the man as the physical aggressor on girls can't be bothered about letting truth get in the way of another piece of anti-male stereotyping.
Best post for a while, really, really good stuff. Thanks.

The following is from the terms of reference for the new task group in the NHS looking at violence against women and girls. Bizarrely it seems boys can be girls too! All it seems to avoid considering that males can also be victims of sexual or physical violence.
"What do we mean by ‘violence against women and girls’?
Within the remit of the Taskforce, the terms violence and abuse are used interchangeably. ‘Girls’ covers females aged 0 to their 18th birthday as in the Children Act 1989 and boys are included in the consideration of victims of sexual abuse and as witnesses of domestic violence against women and girls."

According to my own exploration, billions of people on our planet receive the loans at different banks. Therefore, there is a good possibility to receive a college loan in all countries.
