Excellent paper, but you forgot the link:

http://pubpages.unh.edu/~mas2/V74-gender-symmetry-with-gramham-Kevan-Method%208-.pdf

Method 1. Suppress Evidence
Method 2 Avoid Obtaining Data inconsistent with the Patriarchal Dominance Theory
Method 3 Cite only studies that show male perpetration
Method 4 Conclude that results support feminist beliefs when they do not.
Method 5 Create “evidence” by citation
Method 6 Obstruct publication of articles(media?) and obstruct funding research that might contradict the idea that male dominance is the cause of PV
Method 7 Harrass, threaten and penalize researches who produce evidence that contradicts feminist beliefs

Finally, it was painful for me as feminist to write this commentary. I have done so for two reasons. First, I am also a scientist and, for this issue, my scientific commitments overrode my feminist commitments. Perhaps even more important, I believe that the safety and well being of women requires efforts to end violence by women and the option to treat partner violence in some cases as a problem of psychopathology, or in the great majority of cases, as a family system problem (Straus and Scott, in press; Hamel and Nicholls 2006).

Fantastic paper. A true 'red pill' moment for me when I read it some years ago.
