I believe this is a direct result of our news release. They don't mention NCFM but they cited the same data we did, and in the same way. Marc A.

Article here. Excerpt:

'Cultural stigmas attached to males prevent society from recognizing domestic violence cases the gender suffers from.

Kathleen Holgerson, the director of the Women's Center, said that the cultural stigmas attached to men often keep male victims from reporting their domestic violence cases.

Men are stereotypically "tough" and thus many men feel it is considered a weakness on their part to allow their partner to subject them to such abuse.'

These idiots abuse men so that they can later claim to be abused when they defend themselves. The abuse industry enables it to happen.
