Dr Drew gets it wrong on DV

This was grossly one-sided. Where is the male perspective? Half of all DV perpetrators are women and a full third of DV victims are men. Why isn't this being talked about? The CDC study from a year or so ago found that women are equally abusive as men in bidirectional DV, which is basically a fight, and when only one party is abused 70% of the time WOMEN are the aggressor. Again, why isn't this on anyone's radar. Running the numbers the shocking conclusion is that the #1 way for women to not become injured from DV was to keep their hands to themselves (by not instigating).

Here's the website cited during the broadcast. Pay special attention to #6.

A 2001 U.S. study revealed that 85 percent of the victims were female with a male batterer. The other 15 percent includes intimate partner violence in gay and lesbian relationships and men who were battered by a female partner.

Women are 90-95 percent more likely to suffer domestic violence than are men.

One in four women will be the victim of domestic violence at some point in her lifetime.

Using their own examples of what qualifies as DV just about 100% of men will suffer some form of DV in their lifetime.

Dr. Drew is a media whoring washout. Nothing that comes out of his mouth should ever be taken seriously. He's in the holy trinity of stupid doctors with Dr. Oz, and Dr. Phil.

Isn't DD a mormon?

Start with the first one and work your way down.

Results. Almost 24% of all relationships had some violence, and half (49.7%) of those were reciprocally violent. In nonreciprocally violent relationships, women were the perpetrators in more than 70% of the cases. Reciprocity was associated with more frequent violence among women (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.3; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.9, 2.8), but not men (AOR=1.26; 95% CI=0.9, 1.7). Regarding injury, men were more likely to inflict injury than were women (AOR=1.3; 95% CI=1.1, 1.5), and reciprocal intimate partner violence was associated with greater injury than was nonreciprocal intimate partner violence regardless of the gender of the perpetrator (AOR=4.4; 95% CI=3.6, 5.5).

I get the feeling he panders to women, the ones who want to hear lies about themselves.

The title is wrong. Dr Drew didn't get anything wrong in that video. He didn't discuss domestic violence against men -- mostly because it's not talked about as much as violence against women (and it's also not as prevalent).

Criticize him for leaving out something, but don't say he got anything wrong. We're men, not whiners.
