Domestic Violence LibertyUNH writes " Unlike your tipycal misandrist DV organisation which does not even mention male DV victims, See It And uses gender neutral terms to describe abusers and victims. Unfortunately, their poster gallery and advertizing is very misandrist and one sided. See It And Stop it advertizement to end DV appears constantly under the electronic version of The UNH newspaper. As most UNH students read the paper online, IT EFFECTS THE CLIMATE AT UNH VERY MUCH! Contact them and tell them that by portraying men as only the abusers they show absolutely no compassion for male victims. Tell them that men will be far more likely to join them if they had at least one or two posters about boys who are abused. Given their well intent from the start they may listen."

At least some parts of the site use gender-inclusive language (his/her, he/she) rather than gender-neutral (victim, person). I think that's better, because it goes just a step further to invoke the image of male victims in the mind of the reader. This is a good sign.

I didn't see much on the poster site except faces of male males and females. I wasn't sure what to make of it. Maybe I missed something.

Yes, but the examples they give have 1 female being abused: a lesbian.

Not one case where a man/boy is being manipulated, beaten, or in any way abused by a female.

I wrote them and told them so.

It's just the same old DV organizations story, using so-called "gender neutral terms" to cover what they really intent to say, men/boys are offenders and women/girls are victims.
They mention one girl being an offender, but she is a lesbian offending a girl. If the victim was a boy, I doubt they would have mentioned it.
