Too often the problem of gendered violence is levelled solely against men in Australia. This despite the fact that 99.9% of Aussie men do not rape anyone, kill anyone or commit domestic assault against anyone. Also the highest incidence of domestic violence (80%) occurs among lesbian gay couples. It is also very often focussed in arabic (predominantly moslem) and First Nations communities.
Further no one is even considering the female behaviour that is often triggering or provoking these kind of responses. Certainly no person is entitled to be violent towards another but people are only human and in the face of appalling treatment and laws that are targetted solely against men, sometimes they lash out. It would seem now that any form of terrible inter personal behaviour can be justified by women and can dismiss mens feelings entirely.
If women are really serious about slowing down or even stopping entirely violence against them then they need to look at their own behaviour and start to question the validity of the thinking spoon fed to them by fourth wave feminism. Because for the most part it denigrates men entirely with basically anything feminists disagree with labelled “Toxic Masculinity” and “Rape Culture”. Men trying to help women is denigrated as “mansplaining”.
Indeed such attacks on any form of male behaviour are fuelling the violence against women, because currently Aussie men are made to feel like anything they say or do that comes naturally to them is somehow wrong.
Its simple: if you keep putting men and everything they say and do down and making them the enemy, then treat them appallingly like that then is somehow ok, then this is a perfect storm for the type of lashing out in anger that leads to these problems. Treat men with respect and acknowledge that they are entitled to their own modes of thinking and the problem will virtually go away. This is a female problem and women can solve it, particularly if they stop championing laws (or just saying nothing) that make men feel like second class citizens.
As a society women need to better examine the way they treat men and affect their feelings. Instead of treating men poorly being the social standard (as current), women need to stop justifying appalling behaviour and acknowledge the distress and anger it causes in men.
There is the solution for you I will leave it with you.
