The Invisible Male Victims of Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence I'm back - though I could use some sleep. :) The EastSideJournal printed a great story about the way men are systematically ignored in DV awareness campaigns, and points out some of the most prevalent (and false) statistics about DV. From the article: "For years, we have been told that domestic violence is a serious problem: it must not be tolerated in any form and every victim must be believed. Yet, countless victims of domestic violence are ignored by the system, dismissed as liars, and even charged as abusers. These victims have been hit, kicked, punched, bitten, choked, knifed, shot, run over with cars, and even set on fire. They are men."
