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

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

VAW is important & that's why it's important to consider all the information when formulating a plan.
