Yes women need to be better protected in domestic violence, but so do men

In fact Nick wants to go further and see that such controlling behaviour is criminalised and the perpetrator penalised for his heinous actions.

Oh for fucks sake. How, exactly, is putting people in jail for emotional abuse going to give them better communication skills? Help them deal with their mental illnesses? and you, know, solve all the actual problems that cause emotional abuse in the first place?

It's not? It's just going to satisfy your whiteknight impulse to punish men that hurt women in any way while simultaneously exposing men to even more abuse in prison so they come out even more controlling and violent than before? Which will allow you to tote out all these stats about how violence against women is on the rise and get your budget enlarged? (or at least allow you to lie a little less for the same effect)

Makes sense.

Especially men. In my metropolitan area, there are three agencies that provide safe housing exclusively to female victims of domestic violence. There are ZERO that do so, even non-exclusively, for men. (which led me to "man up" and just sit there and take it for 4 years until it finally got bad enough that the police got involved. My only other option would have landed me in jail, never to see my kids again.)

Well... no, not really, not at all.
