"While most men don’t perpetrate violence, approximately 90% of all violence committed against children is perpetrated by men." - Another feminist backed campaign to raise money and demonize men.

Most violence against children is by women. Yes, the article is hate speech pure and simple. 90% is a completely absurd claim. These days many children simply never see men. Men are absent from their families, from their homes, from their schools.

Elsewhere on the site it "refines" the claim to say 90% of "sexual violence" is by men. Since governments routinely define sexual violence so as to exclude female attackers, that's a more plausible statement, albeit just another kind of lying.

While most men don’t perpetrate violence, approximately 90% of all violence committed against children is perpetrated by men.

Simply false. Women have always committed the majority of physical and emotional abuse of children, when you look at the statistics from child protection services and children in foster care, woman are the primary abuser/neglector in almost all cases.

Its like they think that the only way to progress a social cause is by basing it around misandry and male demonization...if we simply had a gender neutral anti child abuse approach it would seem "offensive" for suggesting that women might be anything other than virtuous angels.

Quite simply a lie. Even a quick look at the stats available from places like the Justice Department will show that women commit most of the violence against children.

What annoys me about these campaigns is it's always getting men to do something feminine as a way of "raising awareness" Like walking in high heels, wearing nail polish etc. It's almost designed to make men in into shamed sissies.

I guess it's an easy way to spot feminist, pussy whipped men though. Sadly this came via my brother's FB feed, and he is marrying an outspoken feminist.

I am secretly putting money away for the day when she divorce rapes him and takes most of his stuff, so I can look after him.

So what the fuck is up with Australia? Ideologues within the country seem to be able to spout any random garbage statistics they can fathom up, and nobody seems willing (or able) to question them.

They don't cite their source for that statistic, needless to say.

CMOS222 · 2014-09-04T01:33:37+00:00

I think any Australian MRA groups or organizations would probably have a good case for getting an injunction requiring that this website be taken offline, on the grounds that the information is completely false and slanderous against men in general.

When I first saw this thread the wording on the page in the 'polishedman' web site was as per the title of this thread, but within hours they had changed the wording from "all violence" to "sexual violence". Still no reference/s cited, and still inaccurate I've no doubt.

Listned to Hillary Clinton boldly state last week (in person) that "Women and Children are really the VICTIMs of war"....

HeadStar · 2014-09-04T01:21:14+00:00

The 90% statistic is far-fetched and essentially an outright lie, but from what I've read it does appear that Australian males are more responsible for child abuse than Australian females.

With that said, it appears a lot of the reported evidence is based upon a combination US, Canadian, UK, and Australian Statistics.

Source

"Data from the US National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) showed that males made up 90% of adult child sexual assault perpetrators, while 3.9% of perpetrators were female with a further 6% classified as "unknown gender".

This would be where they got their 90% from.

Fun Fact: Chris Judd was charged with a Striking Offence in the 2005 season of the Australian Football League. People have probably forgotten that by now tho.

I remember reading that a child is more likely to be sexually assaulted by their mother than their father, was that wrong?

Does this even bother sourcing any statistics? I can't check it atm.

AlongAustower · 2014-09-04T07:36:27+00:00

i heard their ad on NovaFM. I forgot what the campaign was called so I couldn't post it here.

I'm more willing than most MRAs to put up with anti-male bias but this one just disgusted me. I was driving home from a party and here is an ad telling me not to rape children. How dare they tell me that as a man I play some role in child rape, either as a participant or as someone who is complacent.

Insula92 · 2014-09-04T09:52:07+00:00

Why did you change "sexual violence" to "violence" in your title? That's like completely different.

HoneyVortex · 2014-09-04T13:25:06+00:00

I'm guessing that this is a scam. We see it as hate speech but they are just trying to make money.

Unfortunately I don't have time to research charity scams in Australia. Here's some scam charities in America

I don't know about anyone else, but the only adult that really put their hands on me the throughout my childhood and teenage years was my mom, not my dad. I wonder if they even took that into account

junoguten · 2014-09-06T11:01:17+00:00

Aaaaand most of this is only brought up in child custody disputes, right? >.>

subtleshill · 2014-09-04T05:14:15+00:00

You see, this is where i disagree with you /r/MensRights, that statistic is absolutely true, and yes, depending on how you interpreted it can / does portray man in a negative light, but so what? Reality is concerned with feelings, if you let yourself get personal offended by this then you are no better then the "whinny" feminists.
