One in Three (or One in Two): The untold story of male victims of family/domestic violence

[4c4sale]

This is a seriously undertold story, and this website is a good place to learn the truth about the staggering number of male victims of domestic abuse in Australia:

http://www.oneinthree.com.au/

Men are MUCH less likely (three times less likely it seems) to report being battered and attacked by their female partners than women who are attacked by men, and further, men have less support if they do speak out.

Men may face scorn, derision and disbelief when they report being abused.

If one considers the vastly lower reporting of these incidents by men, and combines this with the higher number of women who abuse children, it arises that women - not men - are the majority domestic abusers in Australia, Great Britain and the United States.

Time to start spreading this truth, and working for change on BOTH sides of the gender equation.

You steered the topic to intimate partner violence in your opening post, therefore misrepresenting the statistics, then later you and others have changed it into domestic violence (which means something quite different).   Then you are surprised that others question the figures.

It's notable that denial takes many forms, and asserts itself via various means.

Thanks for staying on topic, Step!

You're more than welcome.

A very important topic.  And I wasn't aware the problem was as big as it is and the help for males as little as it is.

A worthy thread and topic and thanks for enlightening us all 4c.

Step, you claim it is a ABS statistic...

Provide a link to the corresponding page.

Not doing so makes you appear to have zero credibility.... something the OP has already achieved.

Where's the link step?......

That's right polks, they have made several errors.... therefore have zero credibility.

Here's the link. Go to Table 10.

Table 10 supports the figures that 33 men died from intimate partner homicide during that time.... not 75.

Thank you, Katy.  33 males, 89 females.

QED

[katydidthat]

LOL Allie, I was just going to say QED myself.

Table 10 Type of homicide by sex of victims, 2008–10
Male
(n=366) Female
(n=175)
n % n %
Domestic
Intimate partner 33 27 89 73
Filicide 13 48 14 52
Parricide 11 55 9 45
Siblicide 3 60 2 40
Other family homicide 15 88 2 12
Subtotal 75 39a 116 61a
Acquaintance homicide 173 86 28 14
Stranger homicide 56 78 16 22
Unclassified 62 81 15 19

I don't think this is going to work very well. Is someone out there able to post the table so it can be more easily read?

[ruloinfovoter · Accepted solution]

Incorrect.  

I made zero mistakes.

The number 75 was stated as 75 males that died from domestic homicides from 2008-2010, it was accurate and credible and substantiated.  

It is as simple as that.  It can't be twisted into something it isn't, no matter how many times it is tried.

The fact remains.
