How do we address men’s violence against women as an epidemic?

Why are you assuming I don't believe in male violence? I also believe poor parenting, by women, contribute to male violence.

I mean, I don't know why that is so upsetting. I thought we would have an intellectual discussion about how to "address the epidemic" rather than how to make @Potooooooooes the focus of the thread.

A news article is a one off anecdote about someone none of us know.

I didn't realise data was required since an anecdote was provided at opening and a stats requirement wasn't stated as a prerequisite for the ability to engage in this conversation.

It is rude and obstinate to insert a tale of but women do it too into a thread about the horrors of the national epidemic of male violence* when women (the cunty kind) absolutely do not do it too on the same scale. There is no balance to be found between male violence and female violence.

Sorry if you find this hard to hear, the truth is painful.

It’s not a balanced perspective if it’s just an anecdote about someone you know.

For balance we need widely collected data. And that suggests that male violence is a far, far larger problem than female violence.

Try to not be rude and obstinate when people are trying to demonstrate a balanced perspective based on their experiences and minimising those with sarcasm and hostility.

Thanks.

As I say, so often with the whataboutery.

Just awful.

Let us talk about men's violence here.

ItsJustMeMyself Start your own thread about your abusive cousin or MIL taking a hand grenade to her ex partner's house and blowing herself up, taking the ex partner with her. Thanks.

Just six posts in and we get a "women do it too"

Unbelievable

It seems to me that the issue is men are violent.
They are violent to women in different ways and different circumstances than their violence towards men.

It appears to be about ownership. If we could get much better teaching in schools, from the youngest ages, about agency and control it would help. It would also help with better parenting and better relationships across the board.

My cousin and MIL are extremely verbally and physically abusive to their DHs and children and it's very, very concerning that people turn a blind eye to the abuse they inflict on others presumably because they are women.

But, I am very disturbed by light sentences for SA and murder. People often state that you get longer sentences for pirating movies than for these crimes.

I don't think it's new and I don't think it's an epidemic in the sense that it's an upsurge.
Domestic violence has existed since forever.

We are just starting to realise the extent of it.
And the authorities are just starting to take it seriously
We still have a long way to go.

10. The worst thing about male violence is that it makes men look bad.

We have to be allowed to name it.

So often with the whataboutery and the Not My Nigel.

Another terrible story. Her poor family. So many women with lives full of potential are lost to these men.

How much have the causes of male violence been studied and are there interventions that could take place - medical interventions, such as testosterone reduction? I know it was discussed a couple of years ago with regards to convicted sex offenders, I believe. Obviously these men shouldn’t be walking the street but the criminal justice system seems unable to cope.
