Feminist line on home violence rejected

THE National Domestic Violence Intervention Agency (NDVIA) recently called on the Garda Siochána to make domestic violence one of its 10 top priorities.

It highlighted the fact that one in five women will suffer domestic violence while remarking, in passing, that only 5% of males will do so, most likely as a result of self-defence by women. It is the victim’s fault, so who cares?

Yet not one of all independent dual gender studies, nationally or internationally, backs up the NDVIA data, or that of any other feminist group.
