It matters coz people are being harmed. That's bad. What do you attribute the cause to?
I have. Men have a greater propensity to violence generally & when abusive that's how it comes out.

Men are most likely to be violent to men they don't know whilst women are most likely to be violent to family members.
-
Helen, I've spent some time chatting but I absolutely believe this is preventable and inexcusable and that we ALL have a part to play.
-
We'll have to agree to disagree. Good luck to you.
-
OK but please at least consider gendered issues on the statistics on violence, the law, social norms, prosecution differences, protections.
-
Don't just take the one that shows more DV done by men to women than other way & assume sexism & women being told to be pretty.
-
Helen, this started as a conversation about violence against women. My focus will remain on what is a preventable epidemic in this country.
-
But how can you succeed when you focus so narrowly in order to claim its caused by sexism?
-
You need to compare to the wider picture to see if being female really does cause you to be more at risk of violence by men. No.Much less so

So women just have to suck it up?
-
No. They can tell the police and have him arrested & charged.Police usually arrest the man in DV even if they don't know which the aggressor

He's more likely to be charged & prosecuted & then get a sentence approximately 60% longer than a woman would get.
