The Project hosts left speechless during interview with controversial US film director

IMO the point is that Rosie Batty's ex-husband was seriously ill... he had a mental illness that caused their relationship to break down and brought him to the point of delusion where he took not only his son's life but his own life.

Rosie's then been seen as an angel for saying 'FUCKING VIOLENT MEN!!! BURN THEM ALL!!! WOMEN ARE BEING OPPRESSED!!! THIS IS ALL ABOUT WOMEN!!!!'

When actually... it was a mentally ill man killing his son (and himself). IMO Rosie's campaign against men has ignored a significant issue... mental illness. I'm not trying to excuse the father's violence, but if his mental illness was treated properly then all of this could have been prevented.

To me Rosie has a very 1-sided view of what happened and is too personally involved to see clearly. Two males lost their lives on that day due to mental illness. Why is this a women's rights issue?

The host claims that the "overwhelming majority" of fatal domestic violence is committed by men. Is that actually true? I thought women were more likely to murder their children, for example. Cassie needs to have these stats at the ready when she goes into the lion's den.

Anyone else really irked that the headline mentions neither Cassie Jaye, the name of the film, OR THE TOPIC IT'S ABOUT.

What exactly is the name of this concept where there's what could only be described as a 'headline bias' against men's rights? I recall coming across it a while ago whenever Boko Haram would abduct or shoot up a school and if it was girls, the headline would use 'girls', whereas if it was boys, the headline said 'students'. And does anyone get that vibe in this headline?

In the general context of domestic violence, death via an intimate partner is very uncommon. Also, in a general sense, death via an intimate partner is extremely uncommon, it is the same range as death by falling out of bed.
"Overwhelming" is a highly subjective term. A factor of 2 or 3 is arguably not overwhelming, especially as murder by proxy is not recorded in these figures and we are dealing with low numbers.
Domestic violence related deaths are not overwhelming committed by men when you include children.
"Children are factored into this", they are? Why then the term "Violence against Women and Girls".
"It this all you get out of this?" I ask the same of him, what he is taking out of this is that which supports his narrative.

This guy was doing a box standard ambush and smear interview, ie pushing the media narrative and attacking dissenters of that view. It was a smorgasbord of 3rd rate framing tricks, Orwellian re-definition of terms, dishonest use of statistics and a Pandora's box of 'have you stopped beating you wife ' questions.

They call this journalism these days.

Chomsky has talked about this type of shit for years. The media is just a propaganda machine, as was evident by interview. The only way to stop this nonsense is not do the interview in the first place

Too bad Steve Price wasn't on the show. He would gave sided with Cassie on everything

I've noticed that no matter what happens when the argument about domestic violence in particular starts not one of them explains why they are so against men getting help and all they do is cite domestic violence statistics as if that somehow justifies them ignoring male victims.

They never answer the fucking question or talk about the subject at hand, this is something we're going to have to figure out how to deal with eventually or these people will remain in power forever.
