    Some papers here on how gender symmetry in domestic violence has been hidden from view by the feminist movement.

    I'm interested in hearing some opinions from Irish men on this.


    Opposing views welcome, I'll likely be dismissive of fallacious argumentation and advocacy, single sex and politically motivated research.

    I haven't read the research papers yet but will. In any case, the blurbs are very much in line with what AMEN have been saying for years - that domestic violence occurs at pretty much a 50/50 rate (women attacking men and vice versa) - and that there is deliberate obfuscation of this fact in the media.

    I'd say reading one of them is enough, I just put three up there so someone couldn't come along and claim the post was invalid because of there being just one source :)

    Do you know of Erin Pizzy, she set up the original shelters movement and found the the same thing but was intimidated out of the movement by a radical element.
