now imagine a marriage with 2 wives and you have the answer. it's like locking 2 silverback gorillas in a phone booth.


I 1st learnt about that most DV is in a lesbian relationship from AUS stats, but also true in UK & has been since early 2000 afaik.

Quantex is correct in above post. If you said something, then checked it & results were incorrect/inconclusive then say so.
Own your integrity.
Not only will u learn something new, but you realise what the main issues are. You know what to fight for as you know what is right & wrong. Some feminists leave other feminists with a sour taste when women cling to needing help, given evidence that men need it most.

You do realise that most feminists, including myself, also believe in men's rights. And some of these rights even relate to the whole perception of women as the weaker sex, such as domestic violence. Many people don't take domestic violence against men seriously, because a woman couldn't possibly do anything to a man as she is weaker and this is an idea we are trying to dispel. Please realise we are trying to work with you, not against you.


Nah, you're not.
