This site's information page on DV is pretty outrageous, too. We know now that this simply isn't true:

Who does domestic violence happen to?

About 95% of victims of domestic violence are women. Over 50% of all women will experience physical violence in an intimate relationship, and for 24-30% of those women, the battering will be regular and on-going. Every 15 seconds the crime of battering occurs.* Most abusers are men. They may seem gentle, mean, quiet or loud, and may be big or small. There is some evidence that shows that boys who grow up with domestic violence often become abusers as adults, however, many abusers are from non-violent homes, and many boys from violent homes do not grow up to be abusive.

*See National Coalition Against Domestic Violence General Information Packet (statistics as of 2007)

Still, I have no problem with sites targeting a specific audience even if the information is useful to others. There are sites out there targeting men, too. I don't grudge them that.

So, then, this isn't just a website about women making/eating/enjoying a bowl of cole slaw?

If you hunt, you can find a small paragraph about male victims, but the point stands

this is in no way relevant to the article or the issue, but i can't stop seeing "womenslaw," kinda like coleslaw, with a more feminine taste.

its up there with other funny URL mashups, like www.WomensExchange.com
