Stop Abuse For Everyone has no hidden agenda with extending domestic violence towards abused men. We're not trying to divert money from women to men, to regain control of women, or any such nonsense.

And the studies we mention frequently are numerous, and convincing. What they show is that men and women are equally violent in their intimate relationships, but that men are less likely to report it, and on average, women are injured more often.

The problem is that if you read articles such as the one we link to, you'll come to the conclusion that he has handily dispatched the argument that men and women are equally violent, or that men are also deserving of services.

The aim of Stop Abuse For Everyone is to have services available to ALL victims, and to have those victims be treated as human beings, rather than categories such as man or woman, gay or straight. If men are injured less often, then they may be less deserving of services, but it should be done on a case by case basis, depending on the severity of their needs rather than who they are.
