Daily Illini: "Battered Men Need Shelters"

Nightmist writes "This editorial which ran in the Daily Illini and was reprinted on Excite News, offers some mainstream media support for building domestic violence shelters for men. It mentions the controversy over the numbers (battered women v. battered men), but then makes this well-stated point: "Whether there are 20,000 physically abused men or 20, they should have access to domestic-violence services. Family violence is harmful and wrong, no matter which gender is doling out the abuse.""
