Every day someone new will arrive in my comments, sword and shield in hand, to take a swing at the unpopular, albeit factually sound, arguments I make on this page. And honestly, I respect them. Rather than whispering behind my back, and organising mass report groups to silence me, those who are willing to voice their disagreements show bravery that is deserving of respect. Of course, one of the big stats that I present, is the mountain of evidence that shows women and men are equally violent in relationships. It is an ugly, but objective truth, now substantiated by hundreds, if not thousands of papers, and dozens of national surveys, captured over many decades. The big, most common rebuke I receive is one that shifts the conversation toward intimate partner homicides; which women are more impacted by, and so the ideological claim of “gendered violence” is restored. However, whilst any death is a tragedy worth discussing, there are glaring blindspots to such a rebuke, that need to be outlined too. So, here they are.
