THE SOCIETAL ABUSE OF MEN
Societal abuse is a form of active abuse, that refers to the disadvantages an individual or group experiences, as a result of unjust social structures. In this case, the group that I’m referring to, is abused men. Particularly, gay, straight, bisexual and trans, male victims of domestic abuse and their children. All categories of societal abuse involve the manipulative control of time, energy, focus and connection between people, groups and organisations, in the service of on

Women's charity leaders, minimising women's abuse against men.
It is a disgrace for leaders of the two biggest domestic abuse charities in the UK, to dismiss and minimise female perpetrated domestic abuse. #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #YouAreNotAlone #Vlog #Blog #Government #Politics #Covid19 #Menoo #MeToo #Business #Equality #GammaBias #Police #NHS #CoerciveControl #Misandry #WomensAid #RespectUK #Refuge #MankindInitiative #Feminism #ToxicMasculinity #DABS #DomesticAbuseBusinessSupport #Education #Crime #Gaslighting #PTSD #MentalHe

When do people become perpetrators?
This week, I produced this video. It was in response to an almost identical video that a serving police officer put out but with one big difference, his was gendered and called, "When did HE become a perpetrator?" It is completely unacceptable for a serving police officer to help to reinforce the negative gender stereotype that men are always the perpetrator and women always the victim. Perpetrators can of course, be male or female. I hope you like the video. Please feel free

Part 2 - Misandry at the Commission.
A huge thank you to those of you that have read, responded and commented on my last post about misandry at The Equality And Human Rights Commission. Further to my last post, I thought that you may be interested in emails between myself and a Commission representative In July of 2019. I wrote to the Commission via their online contact form. I was curious about the wording, that they had included with statistics that they were quoting, so I requested the source. You can see scr

MISANDRY AT THE EQUALITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION.
Domestic Abuse Business Support (DABS) is passionate about supporting all victims of domestic abuse in the workplace, regardless of gender, sexual orientation and ethnicity. Why is this important? It's important because domestic abuse knows no boundaries. Domestic abuse can and does affect anyone. It is illegal and frankly inhuman, to treat a victim differently because of their gender, race or sexual orientation, all of which, are "protected categories" under U.K. law. Why am

More than half a million working women experienced domestic abuse last year.
A new report by KPMG highlights the seriousness of the impact that domestic abuse is having in the workplace. It's unfortunate however, that this report ignores an entire gender. Men are also victims of domestic abuse and are also targeted in the workplace. Read the article here. https://metro.co.uk/2019/11/25/more-than-half-a-million-working-women-experienced-domestic-abuse-last-year-11211764/ #domesticabuse #domesticviolence #HR #Business #blog #blogger

LET'S END THIS ONE SIDED REPORTING
Domestic abuse is a global issue that affects men and women, yet the media continue to only show one side of the issue. I commend these women for their bravery to speak out and I fully support efforts to protect women and girls, but men and boys deserve a voice as well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c008ql15dvgt/domestic-abuse #domesticabuse #domesticviolence #blog #blogger
