Domestic violence reality check for the 'manosphere'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Domestic violence is a crime in which, overwhelmingly, the victims are women and the perpetrators are men. A recent 11-year summary of domestic violence trends in Victoria by the Department of Justice found that nearly 80 per cent of victims were female and over 90 per cent of perpetrators were male.

Yet lately it seems that there has been a subtle shift in community perception. Whenever the topic of domestic violence is raised in the media, talkback radio, online comments and letters to the editor are suddenly flooded with demands that we acknowledge that men, too, are victims. According to a VicHealth report, one fifth of the community now believes that men and women are equal perpetrators of violence in the home.

The 'battered husband' claim has flourished within the online space known as the 'manosphere' where aggressive men's rights groups blame women, and more specifically feminism, for everything from high unemployment rates and shorter male lifespans, to false rape allegations and poor family court outcomes. The time has come, they say, to knock women off their pedestal.'

young black males murdering and being murdered in droves every day, but as usual, its the women that are being 'warred' upon.

ever notice on that show 'cheaters':

1. they mostly only catch men cheating for some reason. guess they were cheating w/ sheep?
2. no matter who was in the wrong, almost always the woman physically attacks the man involved, almost 100% of the time.

wtf?

i've also noticed that when looking for the baby's daddy on daytime t.v., they protect the woman immediately from any forward movement by the man. otoh, the man will eventually (maybe) get some help from the typical physical onslaught coming (like on cue) from the women.

truth is right out there for all to see. "for all who have eyes, let him see". in the past d.v. against men wasn't ever even considered. she hit him, then he responded (in any physical way) and went straight to jail.

still say almost any man who dies needs a blood (poison) test, just like every child allowed to be born needs a d.n.a. test. lotsa ways to kill. lotsa ways to steal.

Yes, as also shown in Witch-Hunting Males and
Los Misandry at Youtube.
