Media often distort domestic violence, study finds

According to a 2010 national survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Department of Justice, in the last 12 months more men than women were victims of intimate partner physical violence and over 40% of severe physical violence was directed at men. Men were also more often the victim of psychological aggression and control over sexual or reproductive health. Despite this, few services are available to male victims of intimate partner violence.

“A number of studies found that female perpetrators of violence, including sexual and physical forms of violence, as well as female-perpetrated homicide of a male partner, accounted for a high proportion of the total volume of media reports on violence, despite the rarity of these events.”

WTF? For the second time today I need to acknowledge George Orwell and his foresight.

These people honestly believe that women hardly ever turn violent towards their partners so to them any reporting of female-on-male violence is "over reporting".

This info comes from an organization that exists to address violence against women and children. They need mumbers to justify their existence.

People often don't see what they don't believe.
