US News & World Report blog on battered men‏

From Marc A. via email: We need comments and letters to the editor (letters-at-usnews.com) in response to this. It's an OK article but still weak on statistics, citing crime data instead of sociological data. It did, however, give the link to batteredmen.com. Please give a comment if you can. Excerpt:

'What I didn't anticipate, however, was that my online search for information about knife violence would keep turning up sites about domestic violence against men. This post from the website batteredmen.com, for example, kept appearing, making the case that domestic violence against men—which not infrequently involves knives—is too often overlooked. That site looks a little rough around the edges, so I checked further into the peer-reviewed research.'

It appears the only thing "wrong" with the batteredmen.com site is there's a tacky ad link about home equity loans and one about shopping on Amazon. US News writer Adam Voiland finds the site to be un-P.C. and insufficiently meek, so he calls it "rough". Although maybe it could also cite more references for the stats it lists.

I've read some of Voiland's writings in the past, and I would say that at this stage his status is "very-gradually-becoming-enlightened still-P.C. honorary woman who may well be capable of being redeemed" (and also "one of the more ethical journalists out there", a rare acknowledgement coming from me, as some of you guys know).

These also are a good read, better read in order to grasp the import of what's being communicated:

I think, overall, this is progress in breaching the media lace curtain.
