How Can We Recognise Domestic Violence?
Question by BARBARA BE: How can we recognise domestic violence?
News – end of last year was the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against, Marches to highlight the problem; publicity to bring awareness, legal aid cuts put women in danger.
Facts from Refuge:

•Two women are killed each week by a current or former partner.
•Domestic violence accounts for almost a quarter of all violent crime.
•In 90% of domestic violence incidents in family households, children are in the same or next room.
•On average a woman will be assaulted by her partner or ex-partner 35 times before reporting it to the police.

Your so called “Facts from refuge” are nothing but feminist lies. Take your first quote for example.
“One woman in four experiences domestic violence at some point in her life.” Bullshit
Here is the truth on that point.
Furthermore it is a fact that at least half the women who have been on the receiving end of male violence caused that violence to happen in the first place.
Did you know that because feminists have brain washed stupid gullible women into believing that men are the violent ones and women are normally the victims that only half the problem of domestic violence is being addressed so it continues and children witness this. Did you also know that it is not only domestic violence which is unfairly blamed on men, the same applies to the sexual abuse of children. Women sexually abuse children just as much as men do but thanks to feminist lies most people are not aware of this fact and so the half of children who are sexually abused by women stand no chance of being helped. People like you who support feminism actually make it easier for innocent little children to be abused.
