    Not convinced repeatedly telling men "real men don't hit women" is a particularly healthy way of combating DV. But happy to be proven wrong.

        @BernardKeane the reality is that real men do hit women, that's the problem! And #vaw isn't just physical. This message is limiting.

        @perkinsmiki @BernardKeane It makes it 'other'. A convenient extension of #notallmen and doesn't address systemic issue of inequality.

        @BernardKeane "real men" DO hit women. That is the problem, they are real, they are men, and they do act violently,

        @BernardKeane Agree. Need to teach boys from birth that females are equal human beings not property of males; patriarchal society big prob.

        @BernardKeane @InflatablePlant womens refuges demonstrably save lives, opposite to patriarchal "keeping women in their homes" #DV #auspol

        @BernardKeane I'm always uneasy at the connotations of 'real men' too.But maybe that's just the way Abbott said it...
