So half of UK women have suffered no sexual or physical violence over their entire lifetime?!

Oh my God! That's fantastic! What fantastic privilege! What I wouldn't give to have lived that sort of charmed life.

My comment:

"DIGNITY" is the first word you see in "The Violence Against Women report by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA)".

The FRA denied male victims by design:

"The survey asked women about their experiences of physical, sexual and psychological violence"

Dignity is what the EU denied this British teen who tried to kill himself several times because of the shame of being [raped by a] woman as a child:

"I was 15 .. I was raped ... It's gotten to the point where, especially in the media, stuff like that, where it is very much portrayed as the female is the victim, and the male is the bad guy. Almost always portrayed that way. It's showed that men are sick, twisted monsters that take advantage of females to get what they want that basically .. the thing is, when you are a victim, and you are male, it makes it that much harder to talk about it, because you feel like, this is something that should not happen to me ... so when the male is the victim, they feel completely lost, completely alone, and that's how I felt. This is how I still do feel in a way ... the males need to get the attention too .. if you are a male who has been a victim of domestic abuse at the hands of a female, you need to tell the world, because until people start gaining that confidence, and it's hypocritical of me saying this because I didn't ... until the world starts shouting out that males are victims too it'll almost be seen as almost a taboo ... and I'm sick of it. ... you need to tell someone, you need to get help .. something I didn't mention in my suicide video .. holding this inside myself. this was the main thing. this was grief #1. this was the #1 reason. .. I am not going to let this thing control my life. .. I'm an 18 year old. I'm an adult ... for me, this is the last big issue in my life. .. if I ignore the fact that I never told anyone about the time I was raped .. the issues I had .. normal teenage problems .. wasn't something I felt isolated in .. and now, getting this off my chest, and telling my story, will help me to become that normal teenager I want to be."

We offer male victims something the deniers at the EU refuse to offer them.

DIGNITY.

That's because no male ever has never suffered physical or sexual violence.

"It's tough being a woman in a man's world." "Pfff, you should try being a man."

The study results can be found here (PDF), with the full report and methodology available here.

Am pretty sure at least 100 percent of men have experienced physical violence.. don't know about sexual and apparently it doesn't matter. Edit: Am pretty sure psychological abuse rates would be extremely high as well. But men are "privileged" so they not need be addressed.

This is just bollocks

Looks like once again it's the right time to post this.
