Denial and Support of gender symmetry in DV: Gondolf v/s Straus

So, for context in 2014, Murray Straus and Edward W. Gondolf clashed over the issue of gender symmetry in DV.

Straus was clearly in favor of it while Gondolf was and has been against it. Note that Gondolf was also one of the few researchers who got agitated when Dr. Don Dutton discarded the Duluth Model.

So, here's how it happened:

Gondolf criticized Straus

Straus responded

and then Gondolf responded again

I wish Straus has responded further and settled this matter once and for all.

But he's not alive now (RIP).

What are your thoughts about the last paper by Gondolf?

From my perspective, he just seems jealous that Straus revealed his true agenda. Also, on the LWMA sub, somebody said they downplay slapping on page 4.

What are your thoughts?
