Domestic Abuse By Female Family Members Double In UK Amidst Lockdown - media reports only focus on women. 1 in 4 men experience rape/ violence and/or stalking by an intimate patner - yet there are 2 mens shelters in US compared to 2000+ for women. Stop gendering DV only one way!

Nobody cares about men, we have to figure out how to care for ourselves in a world that expects us to simply endure everything.

Being in a physically abusive relationship can be very harmful to mental health. This issue is so marginalized, it hadn't even occured to me to reach out or even discuss that I feared for my safety while in that relationship.

Society really does brainwash men to disregard themselves.

There was a thread in /r/ukpolitics about this. There were feminists replying saying that there needs to be enough women's shelters to support every female in the UK at once before we can think about having a single men's shelter.

One replied to me saying that because women are the "primary victims" of domestic abuse, any discussion about domestic abuse needs to be "women centered" or else its just pushing a toxic agenda.
