'When Male Unemployment Rises, Domestic Violence Rates Fall'

Submitted by Mastodon on Wed, 2013-08-07 23:15

Article here. Excerpt:

'The results showed that the 3.7 percentage point increase in male unemployment during the time caused a decline in the incidence of domestic abuse by 12 percent. Meanwhile, the 3 percentage point increase in female unemployment increased domestic violence by 10 percent. The correlation held for all kinds of abuse, but it was stronger for physical violence.

Though it's not proven, the theory that Jonathan Wadsworth, a University of London economist and study co-author, suggested to explain the phenomenon is that when male unemployment in an area is high, more men -- having either lost their jobs or fearing job loss -- are likely to try to stick with their partners in order to ensure some semblance of income stability. And to keep their partners from leaving them, those that have abusive tendencies are more likely to abstain from violent behavior. Meanwhile, when female unemployment is high, women might similarly be less likely to leave men who are predisposed to abuse, and so reports of domestic violence would rise.'

Considering the high rate of workplace deaths and injuries that men endure, domestic violence rates might also go down when men lose their jobs, because many men who lose their jobs are no longer being subjected to the bestial, on-the-job battery that accompanies the jobs they must work to support their families. :-/

Of course, in their fallacious view of a "Privileged Patriarchy," gender feminists refuse to see that. Instead, in their addled perceptions, they just imagine all men to be members of a mythical "Privileged Patriarchy," instead of the disposable punching bags to which social institutions relegate men. :-/

I guess the gender feminist, b.s. artists in the domestic violence industry just don't recognize all the pain and suffering (violence) that men are required to endure in their everyday work lives just to earn a paycheck. :-/

And what about homelessness (predominately male) as a form of domestic violence being waged by societal institutions?

And what about imprisionment (predominately male) as a form of domestic violence being waged by societal institutions?

And what about the violent "War on Men" being waged in our educational institutions through "rape witch-hunting," "domestic violence industry, male vilification advocacy" and more insidious Title IX policies that now have men vastly under served as evidenced by degrees issued. :-/

Regardless of the endless stream of gender feminized misinformation, propaganda and outright lies, the one indicator that remains abundantly clear, is that in corrupt, gender feminized, Western societies - For Battered Men Their Batterings Never End.
