The police attitude isn't helped by a home secretary that only cares about crimes against women.IccyV2 wrote: Sun Apr 05, 2026 5:23 amYou genuinely can't use the stats, they're massively skewed.cheb wrote: Sun Apr 05, 2026 5:13 am
I'd question those stats, they sound far too low. I don't know where I'd find ones I trust more though.
I saw a thing on YouTube with a camera crew following a police team around to see how they deal with street violence on nights out in cities.
The point was made at the end of the show that every woman that had hit a man in an altercation had been told to pack it in and go home, but every man that had hit a woman had been arrested and taken away. The policeman defended it by saying a man shouldn't hit a woman and so they take it very seriously, whereas any man hit by a woman probably wouldn't be seriously hurt so it's much less of an issue.
These are the stats that they'll be using in part to show that women are more likely to be hit by men than visa versa.
This isn't really something I'm out to prove or defend, my aim in posting is to draw attention to victims of either sex feeling like they can't say anything because of the poor emotional intelligence generally in society.
Some groups need an enemy and a victim. Men are an easy target to be the enemy but if they are allowed to be victims then they can't always be the enemy, therefore they must never be allowed to be victims. One of the easiest political tools for that is the word misogyny as it is about as biased as you can get, if misogyny is your campaign then it automatically excludes any men as victims.
All the fuss about Johnny Depp before but when videos appear of Amber Herd assaulting her girlfriend in an airport nobody cared.
