Erin Pizzey, founder of UKs 1st women's shelter: "There seems to be a blanket of silence over the huge figures of violence expressed by women ... 'family terrorism' is a tactic largely used by women"

I think in general the way women and girls abuse and bully is ignored in favour focusing purely on physical violence. In school and the workplace things like gossip and social manipulation are treated as harmless despite the fact they can absolutely ruin someone's life to a point they're driven to suicide. Like Erin says 'family terrorism' is a big problem and one that domestic violence is always given precedence over.

Either gender can be violent or socially manipulative, but I think they're a clear trend for men to utilise the first and women to utilise the latter. Sadly I think the reason the second is ignored as that you would have to punish proportionally more women over men.

Holy shit, this fits my mom to a T. If this was in America I would think they actually met my mom and studied her. She's been kicked out of every women's shelter she's been into because she's so hard to deal with. I don't want to go into any details because these are memories I'd like to not dwell on, but it was really strange reading this, it fit my mom so closely.

Interesting, I have seen this personally before (both in men and women). Only with women the man has little to no options of dealing with it. Not surprised at the response it got either.

Erin Pizzey is a true, rare, beautiful gem. I wish she would live to 200. She's very bright and is excellent with words. The way she illuminates how women get away with murder (figuratively and, sometimes, literally) because they are so adept at being sneaky and subtle is genius. There is so much information (some true, some half-true, and a lot false) about how men are bad and abusive and very little about women. That is the feminized culture of misandry we are in, which makes Erin all the more special.

Why is always the people who stand up for men who are hounded with death threats to the point that they need a police escort?

Pizzey someone I really look up to. She actually helped women that needed it, and her work has probably saved thousands of womens' lives. But modern 'feminism' shits all over her, and she takes it in stride. She's outstanding.

What is an 'ultimatum' if not a threat of blackmail? And this is what women do everyday. "If you don't get us a bigger house, I'm leaving you and taking the kids and you will never see them again."

Imagine if someone called you up on the phone and threatened to take away your children if you didn't pay up some amount of money. How is that any different? There are LAWS against blackmail.

"Woozles are usually not a simply a matter of authentic misreporting. They also reveal a desire to read into the data an a priori position that is really not there, what Bacon calls "idols of the theatre". ... All the data reporting mistakes I have found in the literature, without exception, were made in the direction of supporting feminist preconceptions."
