Do y’all know what the Duluth model is?

It’s absolute absurdity they took a focus group of women who self identified as abused and created a whole curriculum for domestic violence abusers centered around what these women thought was important with little to know clinical or scientific input. Additionally, everything is blamed on control. Women are the only ones assumed to be abused and they completely ignore bilateral abuse.

Source: I had to take 78 hour class based on this model for sending my estranged wife a text message during an ugly divorce. She had an ex parte restraining order that wasn’t upheld when we went to court but the criminal charge remained.

The Duluth model is a sexist feminist model of domestic violence which basically has the male as the perp regardless of the situation. it fails to acknowledge female on male domestic violence and it fails to address lesbian DV, despite lesbian relationships having the highest levels of DV.

The Duluth model is loved by governments as their rape crisis centres and legal aid centres are run by feminists who hate men.

If you have a penis while being in a domestic dispute then you are the one under arrest.

I’ve heard it been referenced here. What is it?

Edit: guys, what’s with the downvotes? Asking the question shouldn’t be a negative thing. Aren’t we here to educate and be educated?

I've also heard of it, and would like some more detail on it.

The Duluth Model was devised from documenting the similar experiences of 250 women who had stayed in the Duluth shelter because of DV. The women shared their stories and some common themes emerged : eg "he wanted control" ; "he threatened me/the kids"; "he isolated me", etc. I know I will be howled down by saying the following: 2 years ago, when my ex seriously injured me, I was counselled that things could only get worse, and the Duluth "wheel of control" or something like that was shown to me - and I said to myself, "bullshit, that ain't him, and that ain't me!" I went back to him and practically everything that the Duluth model predicts came true: controlling me; isolating me; making me "walk on eggshells"; feeling intimidated into doing illegal stuff, plus terrible violence. Maybe a study of abused men needs to be done, a study that includes the CONTEXT of female abuse as well as the stats about who hit who first. I have been reading around about abused men but most it's all quantitive research, not qualitative.

Have you tried Google? Or is this a question to the members here to see if we know how bad it really is out there?

It’s found to be less effective than other programs according to Wikipedia
