The Solution to MRA Problems? More Feminism

[JTFrog]

13. "Most violence in the home is initiated by women, and the main victims are the children."

And then there are the completely fabricated comments like that one. This seems to get repeated often enough that I think some men actually believe it.

Comment from the article in OP:

1.) Violence in society and the perpetuation of violence in society.

Domestic violence in western societies is a huge problem. The violence that exists in virtually every western family will almost invariably transfer from the privacy of an abusive home and result in random violence in the streets and in war. Most violence in the home is initiated by women, and the main victims are the children. What do feminists have to say about this problem? Would feminists have violent mothers gaoled and have young girls undergo anti-violence therapy programmes?

Let's look at some numbers from the DOJ:

The majority (73%) of family violence victims were female. Females were 84% of spouse abuse victims and 86% of victims of abuse at the hands of a boyfriend or girlfriend. While about three-fourths of the victims of family violence were female, about three-fourths of the persons who committed family violence were male.

Females were 58% of family murder victims. Of all the murders of females in 2002, family members were responsible for 43%. Eight in ten murderers who killed a family member were male.

Males were 83% of spouse murderers and 75% of murderers who killed a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Females were more likely than males to be victimized by family violence, and more likely than males to be victimized by specific types of family violence. Females were 51.6% of the U.S. population age 12 or older between 1998 and 2002 but 73.4% of the Nation’s victims of family violence (table 2.3). Similarly, females were about 50% of all spouses and romantic partners but were 84.3% of spouse abuse victims and 85.9% of the victims of violence between boyfriends and girlfriends.
