First rapists, and now wife bashers.

Pauline Hanson has described domestic violence as a “two-way street”.

One Nation leader (and white supremacist) Pauline Hanson has described domestic violence as a "two-way street", while telling women who suffer abuse they should not "put up with it".

There you go: don't put up with it.

Problem solved.

So Pauline is now living rent free inside your head, along with Donald?

This is what I thought - I couldn't see the fuss over Pauline's remark.

But it turns out for many women it's not necessarily easy to leave an abusive relationship, and the act of leaving itself can be very dangerous.

She didn't.

She construed it from this:

Hanson described domestic violence as a "two-way street".

First rapists, and now wife-bashers.

Does Pauline defend kiddie fiddlers too?

From a parliamentary submission on domestic violence. Two way stret is correct.


Another aspect of identifying male victims is that men may not realise that they are in abusive relationships
because the issue of domestic violence has historically been framed as one in which women are the victims.
Statistics from the oneinthree website and Infographic include that more than 1 in 3 victims of domestic homicide
were male (35.2%). Additional statistics from that source are, show that in some categories, males are victims
at a higher rate than females, including that during the last 12 months (of the survey):

 Almost half the persons who experienced emotional abuse by a partner were male (45.8%)
 13.8% of men that experienced emotional abuse by a current partner had their partner deprive them of
basic needs such as food, shelter, sleep, or assistive aids, compared to 6.4% of women.
 8.9% of men that experienced emotional abuse by a current partner had their partner threaten to take
their child/ren away from them, compared to 4.6% of women
 38.5% of men that experienced emotional abuse by a previous partner had their partner lie to their
child/ren with the intent of turning them against them, compared to 25.1% of women.

These statistics are not what the ‘family violence industry’ portrays in order to gain further funding.
Despite men being a significant group of the population affected by domestic violence, men are almost totally
ignored as victims. As you have done in this inquiry.

Government programs, for example the commonwealth ‘The National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women
and their Children 2010 – 2022’2. Such programs almost totally ignore women as the perpetrators of abuse
against men. These programs will not be effective in eliminating domestic violence until there is acceptance of
the reality that females are a significant portion of perpetrators of domestic violence and men are a significant
portion of victims.
Gender equality means dealing with female perpetrators and assisting male victims.

I know for a fact that they do -
a friend of mine had a false DVO against him -
he was a gentle person and his wife was a violent aggressive person.
