Do you think that many Feminists distort family violence statistics for political purposes?

I don't know what to say other than I agree; your question has been well researched and ties in with my own - are these statistics based on the U.S.

I think some do. I also think some distort them in the opposite direction. There are people of every political persuasion who will distort the facts to bring people to their side.

However, feminism is not about saying that men are evil and women are victims. That's just silly and not true.

Yeah, some men abuse women. Some women abuse men. Some women and some men abuse children. Why focus on who does what more often? Shouldn't the goal be to eliminate all of these forms of abuse? Numbers don't mean much; any instance of abuse, no matter who is being abused and who is doing the abusing, is bad and deserving of our attention. Gosh.

*Edit* Well said Soldier4Christ. That's also true.

To keep my answer clear and clean cut - feminist organisations do indeed marginalize female abuse.

They are happy to note that a woman is likely to experience d/v some 30 times before reporting it or seeking help, but make no mention that men encountering violence have their own reasons for not being able to seek help.

Some examples being that when men call a help line for abused, they are redirected by sexists to the 'abusers help line' instead of 'victims help line'. The police have repeatedly demonstrated that they do NOT care about male victims of d/v.

Oh, and guess which political group most commonly 'educate' the police departments on talks about d/v? That's right - feminist groups.

Note also that d/v does NOT include violence against children - perhaps this is because women are the primary abusers of children, not men - though feminist groups suggest otherwise despite several decades of research reflecting the same & predictable outcome time after time; bio father is the safest person a child can be with and on the contrary, bio mother is the most likely abuser of a child.

With something as secretive and in many cases nicely-hidden as abuse, I have not any theory what style of individual could actual have faith in them. i'm no longer a stats fan in anyway, i do no longer locate them sturdy for something emotional or linked with relationships because of the fact those are own/inner maximum concerns and how will we placed this into valid numbers? is mindless to me. in spite of everything, people who're vulnerable to us BS arguments are not constantly feminists. Feminists have not cornered the marketplace on it, do no longer situation haha =o) there is in many cases issues tacked onto feminism that i'm all too swayed to have faith. That suggested, I admit to having no wisdom of what 'present day feminists' are doing, so this is achieveable the antis are real and this is all an excellent conspiracy to objective adult adult males and carry approximately women having supremacy. i actual doubt it nevertheless.

Male police officers are responsible for not treating the male victims of abuse fairly. Even if the guy is the one being abused he will always get treated like the aggressor once the police get to the scene. So the best bet would be to protest your local police department if you believe that they are too one sided on domestic issues.

I think your "statistics" are somewhat distorted. What's your intention nullifying the facts that MOST domestic violence perpetrators are the husbands by using that lame excuse "well, women do it, too..."

Adults hitting other adults is wrong, regardless of gender. So stop trying to make this into some kind of pissing contest.

Yeah I always go to Sam and Bunny's web site for accurate statistics. I also put my money in Bob's Bank since that seems like a credible financial institute.

You are pretty gullible if you accept a sketchy source like this to prove anything.

I don't think that the problem is so much with statistics being distorted as with the societal expectation of men to be the strong ones, to never outwardly express weakness for the sake of his family and his own pride. It is that very mentality that keeps so many men who are raped or physically abused from reporting it; they feel that because they are men it is their fault for alloing themselves to be raped or physically abused and they are so humiliated by the fact that they were weak enough to be overpowered and raped or physically abused that they don't dare report it for fear of what others may think. Unfortunately becasue of the same mentality people assume that because men who are raped or physically abused don't publicize the fact that they were raped that only women get raped or physically abused.

They sure do. They really want to be above men, just cause they were below men too long. But feminist, like blacks need to get over the past and understand that they are equal to everyone else.

Feminist are just bitter, with no husbands, or divorced, so they choose to whine about it, when that in fact does nothing

I totally agree. But then again feminists will lie about pretty much anything in order to further their agenda (rape, wages, history etc). Lying about women's violence against men is just another dirty lie as far as they are concerned.
