Here is a post by Glenn Sacks on behalf of this organization and a study they are presently doing.

Note my comment at the end and their reply. Does their reply change your mind about them? It didn't change mine.

Has anyone here ever heard of a study that concerned domestic abuse against women that had age restrictions? I haven't.

This study is going to prove that women can be as dangerous to men, as vice-versa. We already know that in more than half domestic violence cases, the man is the victim. This will provide us with some facts to back it up.

...is not running the survey. Individuals from Clark University are. I've spoken multiple times with Jan Brown of the DAHMW and can tell you that she goes up to bat for abused men with a zeal and loyalty that I wish the majority of men would adopt. If we don't stick up for ourselves, how can we expect other people to do so for us?

Having an age limit is not unheard of in any kind of research situation. In this situation, it has to do with elder abuse and child abuse reporting laws. If we find that anyone under the age of 18 is abused, we would have to report them to the authorities. If we find that anyone over the age of 59 is abused, we would have to report them to the authorities. This means that we would not be able to keep the surveys anonymous, and we want to make sure the men who complete our surveys know that we cannot, in any way, know who they are.
