Assistance to men, women, and pets?

I wonder how pet-counciling sessions look.

Oh that's nice...so what if we need help AFTER midnight?!

"Yes, is this the men's Violence Helpline? I have violence and don't know how to get rid of it. It seems to have attached itself to my penis."

Guys come on, the patriarchy is strongest between 12:01am and 8:59am, men don't need no help then.

I hate to say it, but I think it's a sign of progress. Compared to mensline being just for abusers, this is a big step.

Also, if (big if) the reason for mensline to have less hours is that they use staff specifically trained to deal with male victims of DV, then they simply might not have enough people for that.

I'm of two minds about this. Whilst I'm happy that they admit that Men need a DV helpline, i'm not happy about the fact that the women's one is open 24/7 whilst the men's one is open only for 15 hours. Still, I'm happy to take progress in small steps.
