Article here. Excerpt:

'Travis Jones is determined to show the community that nice guys don't finish last.

Jones has been hired by the Hailey-based Advocates for Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault to lead a new project aimed at engaging men and boys in violence prevention efforts. The program is specifically designed to mobilize men and boys so they are inspired to take action against sexist violence and bullying.

According to statistics, more than 90 percent of violence against men and women is committed by men.

The Engaging Men and Boys project received startup funds from several local foundations and a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Violence Against Women Office. The grant is overseen by the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.'

... will be right behind to help women and girls learn not to use violence to express anger toward men or others. Yeah, right.

"According to statistics, more than 90 percent of violence against men and women is committed by men."

And just where was this 'statistic' obtained? Nice of them to leave out the fact that men are three times as likely to be victims of any form of violence as women.
