Tasmanian police resist feminist weaponisation of DV laws
Article here. Excerpt:
'Dr Fiona Girkin works with the Tasmanian Institute of Law Enforcement Studies teaching police about domestic violence. When she first wrote to me nine months ago to tell me about her work, she thanked me for “being willing to protect men from women who seek to destroy their lives.”
Fiona Girkin is no longer prepared to call herself a feminist. Before her present teaching job, she worked for 20 years in the community services sector alongside many feminists, “It was the most toxic workplace I have ever worked in,” she said, explaining that she had “experienced many women who claimed to be empathic but instead wielded power of a different kind. They would bully and manipulate staff to gain power over in the resources they held including large sums of Government funding for service provision.”'
