Woozle Hunter: Lies, damned lies and DV -AVFM hunts down the origin of some common statistics based on "Evidence by Citation" and commonly used to vilify men

The writer did a great job of hunting down the origin of one statistic that really gets at me personally, the "1 in 4 women are raped" stat. This stat is cited so commonly throughout studies covering every imaginable demographic and it's essentially used to scare each and every woman, and frankly man, anywhere there's anything to be had for organizations and individuals that profit in any multitude of ways from DV hysteria. The author finally finds it's origin as coming "from the closing days of the 1990′s, and it’s cited as being handed out by the Council Of Europe (COE) Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence – 2002." The Council of Europe is an international organization consisting of nations and other international organizations with headquarters in France. I really don't know what the hell that makes it, but I'll bet they think they have the right to look over hundreds of studies and make recommendations to, like, everybody. At any rate it looks like that's what they did and the author has finally traced a number of citations of this particular statistic made by prominent feminists and public servants to the recommendation of this particular convention. Apparently it cites it's source of the statistic as 10 seriously questionable studies with fucked methodologies and such. The convention also pointed "to the UK government for not taking male victims of DV seriously?", saying:

In particular, the authors examined reports according to which, for the past thirty years, discussions on domestic violence have tended to cast men in the role of aggressors and women in the role of victims with the result that today, in the United Kingdom, male victims receive scant attention from both government policy-makers and the community at large. According to these reports, there are over forty-five homes for battered women and their children in England and Wales, but not a single government-funded facility for men, who have no one to turn to, even just for information. It would seem that the great majority of male victims of violence feel that, on the whole, the police and social welfare agencies are unsupportive and, in some cases, downright hostile. On 7 January 1999, a Channel 4 programme (“Dispatches”) featuring a report on a hundred men who had suffered domestic violence revealed how 25% of these men – and not the female partner who had attacked them – had been arrested by the police when they sought help.

Only seven of the women had been arrested and of these, none were convicted. See Home Office Research Study 191 on “Domestic Violence: Findings from a new British Crime Survey self-completion questionnaire” by Catriona Mirrles-Black and “The physical aggression of women and men to their partners: A quantitative analysis” by John Archer, University of Central Lancashire, United Kingdom.

The aforementioned is an excerpt from a note, "Supra not 44", which is often missing from the few almost impossible to locate copies of the document extant on the internet today.

I'd love to have read the recommendation in it's unedited entirety, or even just check out the author's provided link myself and finally examine the methodologies of the studies used to concoct this wholly fucked up and bogus fucking claim. I can't, though. Since the author's last visit, I'd imagine not long before publishing the article just yesterday, the 24th, the link has become dead. Sorry, 404, says Google Docs.

Gee. I. Wonder. How. That. Happened.

Feminists think that they answer to a higher truth than actual truth.

Liars for Jesus, basically.
