Barbara Kay: Don't call it 'domestic' violence
Article here. Excerpt:
'Liberals deliberately conflate domestic violence with honour killing because they feel that making any distinction would "racialize" the crimes, indicting a whole culture. But in order to avoid offending the minority communities in which honour killings occur, they must then "genderize" the practice by force-fitting it into the category of all male-on-female domestic violence.
For theory's sake -- all cultures are equal -- they willingly indict an entire sex for these horrific crimes. Clearly liberal ideologues consider misandry a lesser evil than racism (and to many feminists no evil at all, rather an entitlement and a pleasure).
...
Part of the problem lies in the phrase "domestic violence," which seems to encompass any violence that occurs in a household. And, unfortunately, it is received wisdom in our highly feminized society to believe that domestic violence, like honour killing, is a one-way street: male on female. That's not the case, but cracking the shell of this unusually hardboiled myth is a thankless task for truth-tellers in the field.'
