Domestic violence also affects men

Fergus Finlay took issue (Irish Examiner, October 24) with an earlier article by Terry Prone in which, according to Mr Finlay, she argued that we live in an over-regulated world, peopled by politically correct bureaucrats, which is spoiling childhood.

In challenging her assertions, Mr Finlay, for some inexplicable reason, went off on a tangent about domestic violence. In doing so, he simply regurgitated discredited feminist propaganda which conflates domestic violence with violence against women.

Had he researched the subject, he would have found that all independent two-sex studies show men and women are both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence in almost equal numbers.
