"It's OK to ask for help"

I thought this was a nice thing like showing men can be abused too and it's okay for them to ask for help. Then I read the bottom line 🙄🙄

This is nothing short of horrific.

Imagine the human scum that create these posters...

Ah, ye old double standard in affect. Only men can be abusive eh?

I can only hope no man who was currently suffering as a victim of domestic violence saw this poster, esp. since at first it appears to offer help for male victims. I know how disheartening it is to think you've finally found some organization willing to help you, only to realize it's the same "abusers are always men" and / or "women are always the victims" BS as you find every where else

It might not be so bad, this is from their website:

This study is a pilot – the first step in assessing whether this group programme works. If successful, we plan to conduct a much bigger study, a randomised controlled trial, which will give us even stronger evidence about its effectiveness. Alongside this study, in the REPROVIDE programme, we will also be interviewing male perpetrators in same sex-relationships, male victims and female perpetrators.

Edit: why the downvotes? This is the first stage of a study that could also look at male victims and female offenders.

Edit 2: but one thing just struck me. The only group they don't intend to study is lesbian offenders, and aren't they the most active domestic abusers of all?
