Feminist cultural hypocrisy

what a joke, had the 'feminists' and i use ' ' because had they really cared about equality they'd campaign about cases like this

Feminists have fought for 100 years for equal rights for men and women and though we may have won a few battles, we haven't won the war yet. This case is proof of that. We want equality. The point that people seem to be missing, however is: we're not just saying men and women should be seen equally in the eyes of the law, we want peace and domestic abuse is not acceptable full stop. We're not focussing on the punishment people get. We're focussing on trying to stop it from happening so they'd be no need to punish anyone. Does that make sense?

Well then you're fools. Sure, in an ideal world there'd be no domestic violence and YES putting things in place to prevent that happening is generally a good idea but you're naive if you think that's the only important thing to focus on.

The point though is that it isn't going to stop and even if one day it did, while it's still going on fair punishment of people who are guilty of it is incredibly important.

I'm not saying that it's the only important thing to focus. Of course there are other things that need to be worked on but this is a small part of a bigger movement that will allow people to live freely, without restrictions, and most importantly feel safe in their environment.

I agree with you, it will probably never stop, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to prevent it. In 2001/2002, 81% (of a total 635,000) of domestic abuse incidents featured the women as the victim. By 2010, that figure was reduced to 60% and the estimated number of cases has also decreased. What does this mean? Yes, a larger proportion of victims are male but all the work put into preventing domestic abuse must be doing something. There are fewer cases, more people reporting to the police and much more support available for victims. I'll admit, there is more support set up particularly for women but organisations set up primarily for men to receive support and feminists should support these groups too.

What was the estimated Number of cases in 2010? It seems like an important thing to include in this discussion.

From what I can remember, it was just under 400,000
