Ombudsman finds domestic violence campaign ’misleading’

"It is a shame that a government department is unable, despite being notified a year ago, to address its own shortcomings and it required this sort of action," he said.

The ideological commitment of people in that department must be so strong that they would reject scientific data in favour of their own biases."

I think that it's motivated more by political agendas

And the people who are unequivocally advocating for a 'man beats wife' only version of DV are not motivated by political agendas?

I mean these people take all of the statistics on DV and don't even say 'we don't know' they are still 110% sure they are right.

No study in the world will even sway their unshakable belief one iota.

I found more offense from the "Men Can Stop Rape" ad campaign that has been circulating on the internet!

Here

I have personally dealt with men and women both as a friend and healthcare worker who have been raped by another woman or man (especially in gay relationships where the victims often get ignored).

I never really liked how the government blamed only men for domestic violence in their ad campaign and singled them out as perpetrators when the campaign could have been just as successful if they talked about it more generally and with an emphasis to get people to respect each other and not abuse their position of power.

There are just as many men who get abused and hurt by women as there are women beaten by men - it is unfair to single out men who historically have been portrayed as the much physically stronger sex who beats their woman!
