Yes, and the focus is nearly all on physical violence. But the relational aggression is meant to aggravate and trigger and then be able to be denied. It is a real mess.
There are other studies that show similar data. Women are more comfortable to attack. When men retaliate the impact is higher. The narrative is not in line with the facts. Experiences are painful: after being attacked three times, the man retaliates when it happens the fourth time. Then he goes to prison for gender based violence. It’s crazy.
from what i notice its the violent males who women prefer, quiet ones like me are unpopular, but its wrong how again this is all biased against men and the other side of it is always ignored and excused. Feminism is sexism
Slightly off topic, I thought you might like this post from Henry Makow, which explains how we got to this point in time. He sums it up in one line: feminists are not women, but mutants.
The feminist relently war on men : is men and boys are violents while women are vuctims / but women are violent too mosty with their lying tongue . They can kill too their children, their husbands, or use other men to kill !
indeed they are violent, and too often given a pass for that violence. I stilll shake my head in disgust over the crazy "battered women's defense" that allowed women to go free after murdering their husbands.
This makes me wonder - is anti-male bias actually empowering women to commit more violence (both physical and emotional) against boys and men?
The media bias is true not just in this area, but so many. Cherry pick a single result, massage the statistic until it screams, then report that as the "story". It's really damaging, this perception management actually influences peoples' behavior...
Yes, I think it is. Look at the school system where boys are throttled for any action that even appears to be aggressive towards girls. But, the girls get away with aggression towards the boys without punishment. This gives aggressive and immature girls the green light to use violence against the boys and they rarely are held accountable. You see the same dynamic in domestic violence. We are fooked.
Thank you very much for denouncing the fraud (that's the real name) that are many anti-intimate violence campaigns, at least when they go to the general public. I've seen only one study in Brazil that provided enough information to check whether the data supports authors' claims and I observed the very same incongruences.
You honestly just have to laugh. Anyone with a brain knows that EVERY article from mainstream press is lies and propaganda. And what happened to the women and girls are so "strong and independent" narrative? Shouldn't these strong girls be able to protect themselves? Again, lies and propaganda. Shrodinger's feminism. Feminsim is a house of cards but propped up by the left and the right because...well, women are the gods amongst us or something like that.
A good job of pointing out the actual data in a NSPCC research survey done by Bristol University Teen Violence — When Ideology Trumps Data ( 3 - Bias Against Men and Boys in Psychological Research) 2010 In fact this fairly large research survey was just one of a series done in the UK. The others being "Attitudes of Young People Towards Domestic Violence" 2007 Published by the Department of Health, Social Services and Pubilc Safety, Northern Ireland Statistics & Research Agency. There is in fact quite a lot of research done in NI on young people given sensitivities about sectarian divisions and comparatively high, for the UK levels of gang and "terrorist" activity. In Scotland there was " Young Peoples Attitudes towards Gendered Violence" 2005 Michele Burman and Fred Cartmel of the University of Glasgow for NHS Scotland. "Domestic Violence in Adolescent Relationships" 2006 Nina Schutt 2009 published by Safer Southwark Partnership. And one in Wales some years later.
In all these the hypothesis was the feminist "gendered" one. And in all there were "surprising" results which were basically there was not a gendered pattern of abuse at all. This was of course in a time where rather than "smartphones" the chief concerns were the influence of PCs and Tablets and "Mobile Phones". A few years later as smart phones were becoming common a similarly large scale research project found:
"The high prevalence, absence of gender differences and social patterning, suggests DRV victimization may be becoming normalized and is of significant public health importance for young people in England and Wales."Dating and relationship violence among 16–19 year olds in England and Wales: a cross-sectional study of victimization | Journal of Public Health | Oxford Academic
All of which suggests. a. That teenage relationships are fraught for teenagers of both sexes. b. That their responses can often be immature c. Any intervention needs to seek to improve the ability to form mature relationships for all teenagers making the difficult transition from child to sexually mature adult.
Thank you for this. In a rare occurrence the concern about "teen dating abuse" (really kicked off by a moral panic in the USA at the end of the last century) led to a whole series of research projects. Which shared the features of being fairly large (1000s) and quantitative, were "representative" in that great efforts were made to represent the sex, gender and ethnic proportions in the general pupil population and began with a "feminist" hypothesis. Conducted in the first decade of this century in England (the one here) Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. All found "surprising" results that reflected the actual "norms" of society rather than the feminist hypothesis. So there was very much higher perpetration of abusive behaviours by Girls than expected, Girls were in fact reporting their behaviour as abusive at higher rates that the boys reported being victims, reflecting their "education that such behaviours were "abuse" rather than the boys' more fatalistic tolerance of abusive behaviour by girlfriends. Reflecting also the power of "never hit a girl" and the expectation that a certain amount of moodiness, hitting or controlling was just how emotionally volatile girls are. As you observe the "executive summaries" and "press releases" ignore the boys experiences in order to deliver the expected stereotypes of randy immature boys being abusive against delicate flowers of femininity.
And the rather more honest "surprising" "anomalous" results in the body of the research reports are accompanied by quite reasonable suggestions "more research needs to be done" given that these results are contrary to the research hypothesis. Needless to say no such research has been done to my knowledge. Partly no doubt because such research is funded by Gov. through "research councils" who operate within the Gov. Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy. Not doubt to the relief of the researchers thus saved from further digging into the experience of boys.
In fact Bristol University (who did the NSPCC research) did do some follow on research. Qualitative of course based on the experience of Girls in "Care" (the care of Children's services) who were already identified as abused by much older boyfriends. The "male" part of this was a "focus group" of young men already identified as abusers by care services. And needless to say this very unrepresentative research fitted with feminist theory.
Thanks. This is more relevant and important than what attention is given. Insidious.
Also consider emotional violence and psychological manipulation. Women are better at this, particularly in the teen years.
Yes, and the focus is nearly all on physical violence. But the relational aggression is meant to aggravate and trigger and then be able to be denied. It is a real mess.
Yes, big factor
This study reflects a lot of what I see with research where the data are ignored and the conclusions represent the feminist ideological canon!
There are other studies that show similar data. Women are more comfortable to attack. When men retaliate the impact is higher. The narrative is not in line with the facts. Experiences are painful: after being attacked three times, the man retaliates when it happens the fourth time. Then he goes to prison for gender based violence. It’s crazy.
It would be better if our government’s policies were based on evidence, rather than that idiotic drama Adolescence
Amen.
Well that's just blatant misogyny. /sarc
Feminism in action
from what i notice its the violent males who women prefer, quiet ones like me are unpopular, but its wrong how again this is all biased against men and the other side of it is always ignored and excused. Feminism is sexism
Thank you, Tom. Feminists always have been liars.

Yes, agree that it is truly fraud.
