Are We Right to Assume that Women Perpetrate Domestic Violence in Self-Defence?

When are we going to break the stranglehold that radical feminism has on the domestic abuse sector? How many studies do we need that prove beyond doubt that domestic abuse is NOT a gendered crime? https://www.psychreg.org/women-perpetrate-domestic-violence-in-self-defence/ #societyandculture #gender #equality #feminism #domesticabusebill #domesticabuse #domesticviolence

POWER & CONTROL

THE DULUTH MODEL, WHY IT’S TIME TO REMOVE IT FROM DOMESTIC ABUSE TRAINING. How can it be acceptable, in a free and democratic society in the twenty first century, to continue to ignore domestic abuse victims and their children, simply because, they don’t fit the narrative of a sixty-year-old, twentieth century, radical feminist ideology? An ideology that displays an obvious willingness, to overlook female, (straight, gay, bisexual or trans) perpetrators and an ideology that i

AHHHH HA!

I'm currently moving house and came across this letter of thanks from last year. I had wondered where it went and I'm so pleased to be able to share it with you. Thank you so much to The Provost Marshal (Army) for his kind words. #army #armedforces #blog #vlog #domesticabuse #domesticviolence #businesscoach

If you feel the content would be of value for training or awareness purposes. please let us know! The production tells the story of Simon, a young gay man, who was smothered by his mother and rejected by

FACT OR FICTION?

Three very common and incorrect statements that we see and hear, time and time again. This interesting document by Mankind Initiative lays out the statistics. https://www.mankind.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Male-Victims-of-Domestic-Abuse-Briefing-on-Gender-and-Sexuality-of-Perpetrators-September-2019.pdf #domesticabuse #domesticviolence #abuse #control #propoganda #police #nhs #covid19 #coercivecontrol #gaslighting

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

Official - Women are NOT the "overwhelming" majority of domestic abuse victims.

If you see or hear any person, group or charity using this phrase, “women comprise the "overwhelming" majority of victims of domestic abuse”. Please be sure to email, tweet or post the attached letter on their thread. Why is this important? The U.K Statistics Authority ruled in 2009 and again in 2019, that women were not the "overwhelming" majority of victims and that men made up a "significant" number of domestic abuse victims. Whilst DABS fully support female victims,

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
