Radical Feminists Are Gaslighting Us

We hear a lot about #misogyny but what about #misandry? Is it ok to discriminate against men, in the workplace and wider society, in order to “right the wrongs of inequality?” Of course it’s not ok! This excellent interview by Nick Wallis, is a textbook demonstration, of how radical #feminists attempt (often successfully) to #gaslight individuals and wider society, into believing that male victims of #DomesticAbuse don’t even exist. Are you allowing #misandry to shape your #w

My Response - “Supporting male victims of crimes considered violence against women and girls."

“Supporting male victims of crimes considered violence against women and girls.” Whoever came up with this title, has absolutely no understanding of what it is to be a victim of domestic abuse. It is utterly ridiculous and downright irresponsible and sets the tone for a document that fails to deliver on every level. As a survivor of female perpetrated domestic abuse, I find this title dangerously counter productive. Male victims face extra barriers to reporting abuse. These i

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

DOMESTIC ABUSE & BUSINESSES

January 2021 has seen the UK Government release new guidelines for businesses to help to support employees that are suffering from domestic abuse, particularly as rates of abuse have risen sharply due to COVID19 and employees having to work from home.

Safeword Theatre and Film's latest production, 'When The Birds Stopped Singing', is a powerful drama raising awareness of domestic abuse within a gay male relationship.

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.

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,

When you see the "call to action," this highlights the blog posts that we need YOU to get involved with.

"Respect your fellow human being, treat them fairly, disagree with them honestly, enjoy their friendship, explore your thoughts about one another candidly, work together for a common goal and help one another achieve it. No destructive lies. No ridiculous fears. No debilitating anger." - Bill Bradley

Please help DABS and The Bridging The Gap Project, to support a change in how we all talk about domestic abuse. Let's all come together for the good of all victims, regardless of their gender, religion, ability, sexuality, ethnicity or social and workplace position.
