statistically, aren't more domestic assaults the result of women attacking men?

But feel free to beat the crap out of any guys you see.

"Violence against Women is bad but I'm allowed to fuck over third world nations with my army of predator drones."

Okay, Barry.

I thought the video was Okay except for 2 things.

It's obvious message is towards men only
"The worst abuse of power is when a man raises a hand to hurt a woman, So if you see someone threatening a woman, step up..."

Sorry, I don't need you guys telling me I need to stop violence against women. I've already taken enough punches to stop such situations and I have taken too many also from a female SO to think me raising my hand is the WORST abuse of power -- especially from Politicians!

They are playing the statistics game here with the 16-24 demographic:-

Dating violence is considered DV and is in DV statistics, they are obscuring that DV thus occurs in primarily in 1 demographic. DV has to be everywhere to maintain their hysteria
It is the 16-24 demographic but they don't further refine to say its the 16-24 demographic in low socioeconomic classes and immigrants. The men in the video are unlikely to commit DV.
They ignore female's physical violence contribution to these numbers.
They concentrate on typically male behavior and ignore techniques also used by females that contribute to the numbers, eg manipulation, psychological violence, social violence etc. Behaviour more typically seen amongst females is immune from public criticism.

Simply put this PSA and the motivation behind it is despicable.

Violence against women is really really really ungood.

Why is this in MensRights? There's not even the implication of inequality, persecution, prejudice, or stereotypes in this message. It's a straight line PSA that stands up for victims of abuse. In this case, those victims are women.

You could argue that there is no attention to the fact that men are the victims of abuse as well, but that again has nothing to do with why you'd post this video here. If we follow that line of thought, we could erroneously conclude that posting an "It Gets Better" video damages straight teens by ignoring the problems they face. Obviously, that is completely absurd. Two problems; supporting one is not implicitly ignoring, or undermining the other.
