Depressing screenshot from Times App

Three headlines in a row about MVAW. I find the doctor one particularly depressing.

"Jilted" and "rejected" as well. Yuk.

I saw these OP . Sometimes you just have to switch off I think.
The doctor was outrageous - and allowed out early on licence.

Male violence is the greatest human rights crisis the world has ever known. Political leadership continues to behave as though it is simply the nature of the beast while they devise schemes on how best to encourage and direct it.

Was just reading through these. Utterly sickening. The doctor one is absolutely atrocious, the extent of his delusional beliefs about himself and his offending is mind boggling.

I really think that the reporting needs to veer away from the ‘jilted’ and ‘rejected’ angle. It’s verging on victim blaming. The housemate one had a fucking hidden camera in the shower!

Again at the risk of sounding like a broken record why is no political importance or priority paid to this situation? Every normal mundane day there are a multitude of press headlines of acts of violence from men against women ranging from harassment to murder and yet no one raises the profile to a level where meaningful action will be taken, it’s just fucking disgusting

Yes, I don't like the focus on the fact that victims rejected the perpetrator either. More like violent, murdering pervert repeatedly harassed his housemate before finally murdering her.

You know how Samaritans have guidelines on media reporting of suicide, do any VAWG charities have guidelines on reporting of VAWG?

SusanBunch - I ❤️ your nn!

Quick google answered my own question

NUJ guidelines on violence against women

Zero Tolerance guidelines (these are loooong so not read them yet).

I've not got a subscription to The Times so can't read the articles but the headlines are disgusting, talk about victim blaming; 'Rejected' 'Jilted' 'Misunderstood'. Why is this kind of violence always excused and minimised?
As well as the misogyny I also think there is also a certain amount of racism, the reporting would have been different the the men had been black or brown.

Yuk. And I agree about the use of language as well.

I don't have the Times app. What was the doctor arguing society had a lack of?!

A lack of understanding about sexual offending

Male violence is the greatest human rights crisis the world has ever known.

Hear hear.

And the layers go so so deep.

I had a spat with a male friend today on fb who posted an "amusing" meme over Oscar nominees wearing "revealing" dresses that basically victim blamed.

Luckily 3 female friends helped me out and he relented and eventually realised the stupidity of it - not before actually being very defensive and rude to me simply pointing out it was victim blaming. NAMALT was used, your fight's not welcome here, you're bullying and name calling me - I was actually stunned and I think we were all very gracious to him considering the defensive vitriol we initially got. He did remove and apologise but I have to say my eyes were suddenly opened to a small hint of the bigger picture all around me.

This is not the scale of violence in those headlines but to me it's part of the institutionalised misogyny that is just bloody everywhere, naive conditioned ignorance or overt. And complete lack of self awareness.

I'm getting quite depressed about things; the only thing I feel I can work on is that fact I have a son and one more on the way. If I can try my best to educate them, I'll feel I've done my bit.

Again at the risk of sounding like a broken record why is no political importance or priority paid to this situation?

Institutional ingrained misogyny.
