This should be no surprise as they have a vested interest in perpetrating the attitudes that domestic violence is a gender issue rather than a human issue.

As is obvious in this article they continue to try and excuse the behavior of violent women by blaming the male victim for provoking a violent reaction from their partner.

These "activists" make a good living from keeping things status quo and regardless of many researchers besides Straus coming up with similar conclusions they continue to seek out ways to discredit this type of valid research in order to continue to be biased against male victims to the detriment of both men and women.

If these organizations really cared about ending domestic violence, they would pay attention to this information and react appropriately by welcoming as colleagues, those of us who assist ALL victims, particularly the under-served populations which include heterosexual men.

Instead, they continue to excuse violence perpetrated by women,even as they watch violent girls becoming more prevalent in our society. Might this new trend regarding increased violence by girls be a result of many years of excusing violent women while ignoring the plight of THEIR victims?

There is much to consider regarding the future of violent relationships and it's impact on our communities.
