Thank you Anthony and a few others. Please, if you have not subscribed do so now. We have several big fights coming up. The most important being to get the Human Rights case HEARD!
The Hadley inquest recomended that Ontario hire more advocates and Harris (our Premier) said yes. That means MORE female-only advocacy coming from a gender-feminist perspective. Which means more dead men and dead children. This is scarey. There are no male advocates receiving government funding. There are no men's groups receiving government funding. Battered women get cell phones and free pet-sitting. Battered men get a free trip to the morgue.
Moreover, Harris will likely proclaim the old B117 which gives any female a man knows the right to take his house, car and bank-account. This is a terrifying idea for the victim of an aggressive woman. I know that most legal experts think the law would be thrown out on appeal, but how many dead people are we willing to tolerate so that gender-feminist perspectives can be heard? Is not a person's life --any person's life-- more important than ideology?
Furthermore, I just received a letter from Jim Bradely our Minister of Community & Social Services wherein he -quite angry at me- tells me that there will be no change to the current female only system. Again, the ideology of a women's right to murder takes precedence over common sense and science.

On the site, in referring ot the grotesque mis-information found on the 'Health Canada' web site, Greg writes:
"That is only one of the many problems Health Canada have. Any person who was not already an expert in family violence reading the web-site or print-order pamphlet would come under the impression that battered men account for a tiny percentage of family violence. Which is simply NOT the case. (Some men's groups say the battery rate is the same for men and women which is also not the case!)"
Just wanted some clarification on this, Greg. It seems that most unbiased, peer-reviewed studies do, indeed, find that women are as violent as men or slightly more so. Some studies find them to be much more violent.
Ragtime.

I won't be subscribing because you have an overly broad definition of abuse. Once one moves from physical acts, one starts to run into trouble.

Ragtime,
Yes and No. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rate at which men and women hit each other in the family is the same or higher for women. That said, the injury rates (hospitalization) are not the same.
Any time one uses a statistical proof it becomes imperative to understand exactly what is being measured. In family violence there are a great many thigns being measured.
I think, as do Strauss and Gelles, that the physical abuse rate of women is higher than for men, not a huge amount higher, but higher non-the-less.
That said, the Judicial abuse rate for men is staggereingly higher than for women (the rate at which one's partner uses false charges/accusations). To say women commonly attempt to kill their husband by using the justice system as a weapon is likely a provabley correct statement.
Abuse comparison between the genders is complex as there are too many factors for easy comparison.
Let's just say there are far too many abused men and abused women and the abused men are further abused by a system which refuses to help them.
