Australia: Campaign against violence amounts to male-bashing

Letter here. Excerpt:

'Not long ago I read of a woman charged with shoving her baby into a deep drain and leaving it to die. I also saw footage of two women assaulting and spitting on a Tongan bus driver in Brisbane. After that I saw footage of another pair of women assaulting and racially abusing an elderly indigenous man on a Gold Coast bus. And of course we all know of the woman in Cairns charged with murdering eight children. On Tuesday, I read of two Canberra women charged with assaulting, spitting on and racially abusing a servo attendant in Weston ("Charges for attack on servo pair", December 23, p6).

Yet Jenna Price ("Real terrorism is that of violence against women", Times2, December 23, p5) tells us real terrorism is male violence against women and children.

Campaign to stop violence by both sexes by all means, Jenna, but please stop male-bashing. You are making a fool of yourself and damaging The Canberra Times' reputation for quality journalism.'
