If a man hits a woman it's more likely to be reported surely

Oooh! Are we doing Haiku now?

yeah feminists are definitely in favour of an end to all DV and all sexual assault. I have yet to encounter anyone who has said they would be happy for DV and sexual assault to carry on as long as it only happens to men.

HTH

He's just being daft now

BIWI · 22/10/2016 00:25

I suspect the OP is trying to goad posters into a state of hypocrisy

Explain?

DoYouRememberJustinBobby · 22/10/2016 00:26

Little women, furnish me with your opinions on demand. Then I'll tell you how much they really mean in the grand scheme of DA MENS FEELINGS.

of course there is sexism in the justice system, because it is run by people, and people are sexist. This hurts men and women....so?

Xenophile · 22/10/2016 00:26

You'd think so twopoint, but that's not the case. Men report earlier and for far less on average than women. Women will often have needed repeated hospital treatments before she will report. Women have been shown to under estimate and under report male violence toward them and men have been shown to over report. If it wasn't past midnight, and I wasn't in a fairly filthy mood, I'd try and find the research for you.

JenLindleyShitMom · 22/10/2016 00:26

Ok So if there's not a sexist toward domestic violence and child custody.

Wtf does that even mean?

twopointfourfamily · 22/10/2016 00:27

Well unfortunately (depending on your POV) an angry feminist tends to conform to the stereotypes of a man hater when goaded and therefore falling foul of all the attributes you aspire to correct.

Nrdad1 · 22/10/2016 00:27

As I've said I came on to get your point of view directly from a group rather then going on to some Internet page written by one person but very few of you have came out with any valid point

Oh, and welcome to Mumsnet twopointfourfamily! Glad that you joined for this thread! You wouldn't be a sock puppet friend or the OP would you?

Xenophile · 22/10/2016 00:28

There are no angry feminists here though. There are a fair number of fairly giggly ones. Do I have to start hating men now?

twopointfourfamily · 22/10/2016 00:29

Men report earlier and for far less on average than women

this surprises me but I'm happy to be corrected

IceBeing · 22/10/2016 00:29

two also as the linked article explained, the number of reports per person is capped. So once you have been hospitalised 5 times, any further incidents are unreported.

JenLindleyShitMom · 22/10/2016 00:29

Angry feminist? Never heard of this mythical being. What on earth would a feminist had ever to be angry about? Confused

twopointfourfamily · 22/10/2016 00:30

Oh I've been here years BIWI. Don't you worry. I know my way around.

DoYouRememberJustinBobby · 22/10/2016 00:30

Has anyone that Cadbury's have gone back to the old shape for the larger bars of Dairy Milk?

BIWI · 22/10/2016 00:31

Not with this name you haven't. Which makes me wonder ...

IceBeing · 22/10/2016 00:31

I hate the system, not the men who are often victims of it also.

What I lack in specificity of my hate, is more than compensated for by the magnitude of my hate.

I really really hate the system, society and anyone who uses the money they spend to alter peoples brains in favour of buying their shit to coincidentally reinforce gender stereotypes most of all.

Nrdad1 · 22/10/2016 00:32

Men have been shown to over report it haha Yeh right because men arent treated as if they should "man up and deal with it" when they are or ridiculed when it happens told but she's a woman your a man. There always believed by police and a woman doesnt just have to say it was in self defence to be believe even if that's a lie
