Men as a group have power that privileges them e.g epidemic levels of VAW, more pay, less child rearing responsibilities. These are facts

Oh for goodness sake. I had to turn that off. VAW is caused by gender inequality & women always being told they're pretty, not clever?

Perhaps take a deeper look Helen. I've shared the framework for prevention of violence against women.

It won''t help the women in danger of violence if we go with feminist ideology over a better evidenced & balanced approach.

No, its not. The research gives the stats. Then the cause is supplied by ideology based on only the stats that don't contradict it.

Perhaps you could offer an alternative.

I have. Men have a greater propensity to violence generally & when abusive that's how it comes out.

3 Rigid gender roles & stereotyped constructions of masculinity/femininity 4 Male peer relations emphasising aggression &disrespect of women

But then why are men the main victims of male violence and why is violence in gay & lesbian relationships higher than in straight ones?

This is ideology, not reality. Cld it be that men have a greater propensity for violence & when they are abusive this is the form it takes?
