Just a quick post but yesterday we had the BBC running two features on male victims of domestic abuse on the same day the government confirms (as they did before Christmas) that they do not think they exist.
The Parliamentary Question from Louise Bagshawe MP asks what action the government will take to push up conviction rates for domestic abuse and sexual offences. The Attorney General then talks about the Violence against Women strategy and how that and the governement will push up conviction rapes under this policy umbrella.
But Bagshawe never mentioned just women, her question mentioned no gender at all. Obvioulsy, male victims are so low down the government's food chain they don't get a mention, only female victims do.

This is such a clear case of Parliamentary discrimination against men, it's time to write a letter to your local MP. If you want a pro-forma which you can use, have a look at the Anti-Misandry site's activism section here:

It is important to write as many letters as possible but just making a statement is not enough. We need to give scholarly statistics and reference them. Feminists often use advocacy research to promote their agenda, we do not the fact speak for themselves and we need to make every politician aware of these statistics. I m from North America, their are two excellent organizations here that highlight true statistical research.There is apple evidence here.....

Next time Ms Bagshawe or one of her ilk ask why there are low conviction rates for Dom Violence against women or for rape with women as accuser....someone should stand up to say that it's because xx% of domestic violence is actually initiated by WOMEN and rate of false rape accusations is xx%. The courts cannot find guilt where there is none.Scholarly reference provided. Until this happens there can not be an intellectually honest conversation about it. Politicians need to be shown the evidence and shown up EVERY TIME they make statements in error concerning gender issues. The mens movement must refrain from hyperbole and allow the gender feminists to sink themselves with their politically motivated unsubstantiated statistics. They should be called out on it at every turn. On the other hand true feminists who believe in their original purpose of true equality should be supported. They are our allies in this.

an excellent post charles....we must alsways use hard facts in challenging the "wimmin" who are driven not by any interest in genuine equality between men and women; but only their own perverse sexist bigotted manhating agenda

On the topic of facts could I remind readers of the excellent downloads and references on Dewar Research Site . Link on the left of this site. First rate for UK data.

Can anyone go back with me to witness to my house where my friends new girlfriend has done violence to me, threatened me and basically made it so I can't live there ? I told the Police and they took no action. They've taken my house by violence and the only way I can get it back is violence but then I'd do time.

Well said Charles. There is a cottage industry of churning out faux stats from institutions infiltrated by feminists.
Great links too, I have been reading them for ages.
This article is very good;

"71 percent of the instigators in nonreciprocal partner violence were women. This finding surprised Whitaker and his colleagues"
I'll bet it did, if they had been getting their information from the mainstream media.
