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?
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
-
Are you kidding?
-
You've seen the stats that men are so much more likely to be victims of violence by men! You accepted them! Said it wasn't debated!
-
It's not. That wasn't what the conversation was about. You have tried to hijack the very important issue of VAW.

Trudie, it's necessary to mention all relevant statistics on male violence when you use part of them to claim its about devaluing women.pic.twitter.com/94ApBcutdr
