My family ranted to me last night about how they think Donald Trump is the only responsible person trying to run for president and they think “everyone supports him”.

I want to prove them wrong.

MY MAN.

You know what the best part about this is? It’s that he’s not just saying this stuff to pander to a demographic. Bernie Sanders has been talking the talk and walking the walk since the 60s.

Just because you can turn them on, does not mean they want to have sex with you. No means fucking no.

I was pretty skeptical about the figures, since they contradict what I usually hear on the media, so I did a little research. Here’s what I found: 
(Sorry this is so US centric) 
(I’ll also try to stay close to primary sources as possible)

(http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss6308a1.htm?s_cid=ss6308a1_e)

- the 12 months before taking the survey, an estimated 4.0% of women experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner
-an estimated 14.2% of women experienced some form of psychological aggression in the 12 months preceding the survey.
-*4,774,000 women have been victims of physical violence by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey
-*17,091,000 women have been victims of psychological aggression by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey

- the 12 months before taking the survey, an estimated 4.8% of men experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner
-an estimated 18.0% of men experienced some form of psychological aggression in the 12 months preceding the survey.
-*5,452,000 men have been victims of physical violence by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey
-*20,471,000 men have been victims of psychological aggression by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey

*Table 6

By the data presented by the Center for Disease Control, out of the estimate of 10,226,000 yearly victims of intimate partner violence, 53.3% of victims where male and 46.6% were female. As for psychological aggression, out of the estimate of 37,562,000 yearly victims, 54.4% were male and 45.5% were female. These statistics would support the claim made in the bottom left.

Now I couldn’t find a primary source for the 70% of DV is initiated by women, but here’s the facts that I found, which may have been interpreted by the people who made this poster:

(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/glenn-sacks/researcher-says-womens-in_b_222746.html)
-Women who were in a battered women’s shelter, 67% of the women reported severe violence toward their partner in the past year.

This can be interpreted as “67% of violent couples with IPV is mutual”. But then again, primary sources and full data would be helpful to back up this claim.

But the one that is most interesting is:(http://psychnews.psychiatryonline.org/newsArticle.aspx?articleid=111137)(Another report analysis from the CDC)

-23.9% of relationships are violent
-50.3% of IPV is non-reciprocal and 49.7% is reciprocal (Reciprocal IPV= Mutual violence)
-70.7% of non-reciprocal IPV is initiated by women. 

So summing up the numbers, it’s not that 70% of all DV is initiated by women, its that 70% of non-reciprocal DV is initiated by women. To go further would say that 49.7% of DV is mutual, 36.2% of DV is initiated by women, and 14.5% of DV is initiated by men

Male victims of domestic violence are real. They are hurting. And they often don’t get the attention and compassion they so urgently deserve and need.

Have a heart. Open your mind, and give a care.

Harvard released a study that concluded that 70% of non-reciprocal domestic violence was perpetrated by women.  The study was erased/deleted.  No official retraction;  No official corrections.  Just deleted.  No press release to explain why it was gone.

Kill the myth that the vast majority of Domestic Violence is committed by men.

Like the Internet itself, reality routinely re-routes around censorship.

Not only are women violent toward men, they are also violent toward each other.

• Sexual abuse by a woman partner has been reported by up to 50% of lesbians (12).
  
• Of course, we then had to warn crisis line advocates who approve people for shelter to be extra cautious when screening. You see, some lesbian abusers have pretended to be victims of intimate partner violence so that they could gain entry into shelters and find their partner.
  
• Myth: DV and SA does not occur within lesbian relationships. Perhaps surprisingly, statistics have shown that lesbian people experience domestic violence at a very similar rate to that of heterosexual women (Waldner-Haygrud, 1997; AVP, 1992). It has been estimated that between 17-45% of lesbians have been the victim of at least one act of violence perpetrated by a female partner (Burke et al, 1999; Lie et al, 1991), and that 30% of lesbians have reported sexual assault / rape by another woman (Renzetti, 1992). Considering the lack of discussion that takes place regarding lesbian domestic violence and sexual assault, I find these figures staggering.

THAT’S THE BEAUTY OF IT

A feminist website utterly demolishing radical feminist propaganda.
