“The type of thing we hear is ‘my wife or girlfriend has said if I leave, or tell anyone, she will say I was the one attacking her and she was just defending herself.” “It is an extremely powerful weapon in the armoury of the perpetrator and leaves the victim feeling trapped and helpless.”

A woman using the power of the state to inflict abuse. This is the essence of women's proxy violence.

Dr Jessica McCarrick, a Senior Lecturer in Counselling Psychology at Teesside University, who carried out a study with male abuse victims, said they were often treated with suspicion by the criminal justice system.

"Mark Brooks, chairman of the Mankind Initiative charity, which takes calls from around 1,000 men per year, said:"Over the past ten years we have seen a steady increase in the number of callers to our helpline stating they have been the victims of false allegations.

Dr McCarrick, said his account was not uncommon adding: "Within my research, the predominant experience is of men being arrested under false charges and their disclosures of being the victim are not taken seriously, despite having evidence."

"Research suggests male victims of domestic abuse are failing to report attacks for fear of being arrested themselves". Thanks to the Duluth model this is true. Actual policy enacted by the 'radical' feminist who totally don't represent 'most' feminists.
