Home Violence – Men in Firing Line — A STUDY of patients attending family doctors has found that 52 per cent of men and 43 per cent of women have experienced domestic violence.
The research, carried out by Trinity College Dublin and published in the European Journal of General Practice, reflects the findings of all other two-sex studies carried out in Ireland….

Of course, we all knew that all along, and it was one of the primary motivating factors for setting up the website of Fathers for Life. However, if you didn’t know that and wish to find more information, with references to numerous studies – some of which date back decades, then check the index page for Family Violence at Fathers for Life.
Many will ask how that can be, given that we spend so much on combatting violence against women. Well, that is a complicated story that has been addressed in this collection of articles, “How did the Popular Views on Domestic Violence come about?“.
Most of all it is the outcome of a sustained, decades-long propaganda campaign against the largest visible minority in the world: Men. It was easy to launch and became a rout, all because propaganda no longer is an art, as it was during and before the second world war, but it is now an applied science.
The principle for success of propaganda is simple and very effective:
The function of propaganda does not lie in the scientific training of the individual, but in calling the masses’ attention to certain facts, processes, necessities, etc., whose significance is thus for the first time placed within their field of vision. …
All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to. Consequently, the greater the mass it is intended to reach, the lower its purely intellectual level will have to be. But if, as in propaganda for sticking out a war, the aim is to influence a whole people, we must avoid excessive intellectual demands on our public, and too much caution cannot be extended in this direction. …
The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan….
The function of propaganda is, for example, not to weigh and ponder the rights of different people, but exclusively to emphasize the one right which it has set out to argue for. Its task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.
—Hitler, Mein Kampf, Chapter VI
Let’s hope that we all learn from that and that we always keep it in mind. To make the point clear, I will paraphrase it here:
The aim of propaganda is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as that favors the enemy (men that is), and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right (the interests of the radical feminists), always and unflinchingly.
Josef Goebbels, the Minister of Education (a.k.a. Minister of Propaganda) in the Nazi regime paraphrased Hitler by stating:
The rank and file is usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious. The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly… it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.
And the fundamental point of the redfems’ propaganda is: Women are good and men are bad. That is all it took. That is all it takes. Just watch TV, you’ll see it day-in, day-out, hour after hour, in the programs, in commercials and in public service anouncements, without end: “Women good! Men bad!” without flinching and over and over.
It works, doesn’t it? Why knock it, right? Who cares about the truth as long as money can be made?!

dr_rythm, you are right again. We must also realise that when men are being slandered, ridiculed, discriminated against and even actively persecuted, all of society – all women too – will suffer serious consequences.
In case you haven’t seen them yet, you may wish to look up these articles that go into that in more depth.

says:Walter, thanks for that. There are many aspects to this subject which you have kindly pointed out. I have also come to believe that despite the fact that men are enduring a relentless attack on their identity from multiple sources, the age of chivalry is not quite dead yet. Men still have an in built instinct to protect the “weaker” sex, which inhibits us from fighting back, either physically or verbally. For the benefit of our children and society it’s time to take the gloves off and retaliate against these psychological terrorists.
dr_rythm, you are right. Men are less likely than women to report DV incidents. That has been confirmed through numerous studies.
However there are other important reasons why men can’t win any arguments about DV.
1.) The feminist carefully picked their battleground. The propaganda war against men, fueled by largely false and misleading DV stats, has been going on for so long that no one notices anymore that DV includes people other than women (or men) as victims. Children are the forgotten victims.
Violence against children in “families” is DV, too. Vastly more children than women are being hurt in DV. The feminists don’t talk about that. The main reason for their silence is that in 70% of cases of serious or fatal violence against children in families women are involved as the perpetrators. In spite of that, DV is now seen as violence (by men, of course) against women.
One could argue, and many feminists do, that an all-female society will be a peaceful one. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Lesbian relationships are on average far more violent than heterosexual relationships.
2.) The focus on violence by women diverts attention from where attention is due. By all measures of violence, men are about twice as often the victims than women are.
3.) Lack of reporting by men will not change the tactics used by feminists, who will simply counter by claiming greater numbers of women who don’t report violence against them. In that fashion reality no longer counts, and perceptions are all that matters to smart propagandists.
4.) If facts were to count, the only things that would matter in DV are the victims and the numbers of those who are convicted for hurting their victims. The reality of those facts is that women can get away with murder, the more likely the more defenceless their victims are.
5.) Women are less likely than men to be suspected, to be accused, to be brought to trial, to be convicted, to be sentenced to equally severe sentences for crimes of equal severity, to have to serve all of their sentences. They are even less likely to have aggravated assault or murders they commit considered to be what those are. “Self defence” excuses much, it even turns the murder of children into “infanticide”, a category of crime available only to women.
When a woman kills a child, if all other excuses fail, she can always claim that her inner demons or the devil made her do it. A man always goes to prison for committing the murder of a child, as he should, but so should a woman who does so, for just as long.

says:A short story to explain why the statistics on male victims of violence are inaccurate. Yesterday a friend and work colleague who I shall refer to as X, telephoned me to describe what happened to him on holiday in Portugal. He was still in shock as he told me about being led away from a bar under threat of violence by a huge “woman” who he suspected was a transvestite. My friend X is an ex doorman and bouncer but is now suffering from chronic asthma, which explains why he could not run away from this person. He was taken to a small flat where he met a young girl. The big “woman” and the young girl sexually abused him and humiliated him for hours and then led him to a cash point to obtain money from him. He was then taken back to the flat but escaped by feigning an asthma attack which frightened the abusers into phoning an ambulance. When the ambulance arrived the two strangers acted as though they were very concerned and assisted him to the ambulance.
When my friend X was recalling the incident to me, he was trying to come to terms with what had happened to him and was clearly still suffering from the after effects of this attack. Now the reason for telling this story to you is to explain why my friend did not go to the Portugese police. He said he did not think he would be believed. He also said he thought the police would laugh at him and there was no point in reporting the incident. One has to wonder what the statistics would reveal if all male victims of violence and sexual abuse came forward, in the same way that females do at the slightest provocation?
