I often hear: “women are injured more” when it comes to intimate partner violence.
And it’s true, they are.
But it’s not so simple.
In US ER data (ages 15–39), 2.63x more women than men were injured by a partner.
But for people 'hospitalised' by IPV, that shrinks to just 1.27x, with injured men twice as likely to be admitted than women (6.7% vs 3.4%).
Why?
Well, because abusive women are more likely to use knives or sharp objects.
28% of men injured by a partner had cut or stab wounds from knives or sharp objects, vs 4.8% of women.
Meanwhile, 88% of women’s injuries came from being struck (vs 58% of men’s), which rarely leads to hospitalisation.
So whilst, yes, the large majority of injuries are against women, when it comes to injuries serious enough to cause hospitalisation, things are not so different.
And this isn't some small limited sample of people.
This is data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP) in America.
...an enormous, 20+ year database capturing MILLIONS of IPV emergency room visits.

I’ve always thought Russell Brand was a d1ck. And he appeared to be a sleaze of the first order.
But the UK criminal justice system is broken. And that’s bad for all of us whose legal systems derive from it.
This judge’s demeanour and framing in this video are not legally sound or professional.
The fact a hit-piece “documentary” was created and aired with “reenactments” (re-imaginings) of what the alleged victims claimed happened, should have seen this whole case thrown out of court.
The fact the 21yo alleged rape victim’s own testimony was the only evidence (she’s 38yo now) should mean reasonable doubt is obvious. Especially since she had consented to vaginal sex and indulged in the same kind of other sex she accused him of, consensually, with him on previous occasions. That’s not a credible victim witness.
Another alleged case involving a 16yo is outstanding (16 is the age of consent in the UK, btw). If he is found guilty of that on REAL evidence he should rot in jail. But this particular trial was a disgrace. The other three sexual assault allegations were absurdly weak.
So… This is a very very sick and broken system. They went after him. A journo-led PR campaign. And a police ad campaign to attract complaints.
It was ideological and/or political. That’s seriously bad. For reasons that go way beyond just this one case. And reasons that will impact real rape victims negatively too, and make it even harder for them to get justice. @megynkelly @KonstantinKisin @LozzaFox

Aussies .... I BORROWED this⬇️
Do people realise that Russell Brand will be told to pay the alleged victims compensation if there are criminal compensation orders or civil damages following his verdict❓️ These are believed to be in the region of six-figure sums.
Now we hear two more women have come forward accusing him of rape.
Interesting that the majority of media outlets have omitted this information.
So let’s get this straight.
🔥🔥Russell Brand had sex with thousands of women. A jury has just found him guilty of rape WITHOUT any forensic, physical or video evidence. (Essentially no evidence except HER word against his). Civil claims now look extremely likely and could result in hundreds of thousands of pounds granted to the women accusing him.
One woman has already filed a claim for £100,000 following an “alleged sexual assault” in 2008.
The police have said they believe it is certain more victims will come forward. The latest verdict has proven you don’t even need EVIDENCE. You can just SAY it was rape - and you will be granted lifelong anonymity!

This man is the victim of an exceptionally nasty - and transparent - witch-hunt in my view. More importantly, it has exposed the farcical UK justice system and a media that is determined to destroy someone who was very outspoken about the same establishment that wants to strip us of every freedom we have.
I cannot believe the times we are living in.

Russel Brand’s lawyer has been accused of ‘victim blaming’ for the way he cross-examined the accusers. This is dangerous nonsense. If accusers are spared from robust questions, then we will no longer have fair trials, says Luke Gittos

What does it say that when Russell Brand was a Leftie he was cheered on by the BBC and others as a comical, frivolous lothario with a funny camp voice, but when he switched to the Christian Right he became a serial sexual predator and pest destined for a jail cell?

THE ABSOLUTELY INSANE REWRITE OF THE CENTURY!
Australia’s taxpayer funded human rights watchdog (AHRC) has officially lost the plot. They are actually demanding we STOP prioritizing radical Islam in terror prevention and focus on, wait for it, the online “manosphere.”
Let’s do a quick reality check here: When was the last time the “manosphere” gunned down 15 people at Bondi Beach?
Oh, that’s right, NEVER.
Yet, the far left bureaucrats at the AHRC are genuinely trying to tell a parliamentary committee that podcasts and online gender grievances are a bigger, more urgent threat to your safety than literal religious extremism.
They want to completely scrap “belief and ideology” from the definition of terrorism. You cannot make this level of delusion up.
This is a direct spit in the face of reality:
Fact: Federal Police warned that 46% of radicals investigated recently were religiously motivated.
Fact: ASIO chief Mike Burgess explicitly stated after the horrific Bondi massacre that Islamic extremism remains the dominant terror threat to Australians.
But instead of listening to actual spy chiefs and cops, the progressive elites want to police memes, regulate climate “misinformation”, and pretend that gym bros on the internet are the true national security crisis.
The clown show is officially running the circus.

Record numbers of kids have been referred to the Prevent counter-terror scheme. Why? Because their woke teachers treat even mainstream right-wing views as signs of radicalisation. This panic over the ‘manosphere’ must stop, says Joanna Williams

Federal judges gave women sentences 29.2% shorter than men, after controlling for crime and record (U.S. Sentencing Commission, FY2017–2021).
If gender tips the scale in criminal court, what do you think happens in family court? 🤔
More prison time should not be the price of being male.
Women received federal sentences 29.2% shorter than men’s in 2017–2021, according to the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
Women were 39.6% more likely to get probation instead of prison.
Women’s prison sentences were 11.3% shorter.
An Ohio State researcher found women received 5.2% shorter sentences in Minnesota felony cases from 1982–2017, even after accounting for differences between the cases.
When Minnesota's sentencing guidelines called for prison, judges let 56.6% of women avoid it, compared with 39.3% of men.
The federal Commission’s job includes addressing unfair sentencing gaps. It needs to act on its own findings.

Oh, brother. They finally publish a special issue on men’s health, and the editorial immediately pivots to “toxic masculinities,” the manosphere, patriarchy, and intersectional theory. Even when they’re “addressing” men’s issues, there’s more blame and shame. We don’t need yet another round of attention that treats masculinity and men today and throughout history as the root problem.

The relationship deteriorated & she falsely accused him or sexual assault & chid abuse. She even stabbed herself several times falsely saying he did it & persuaded a friend to lie & back her up
Sentenced to 3 years
Thank God for CCTV

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a South Carolina mom ST*BBED her 6-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter ~50 TIMES with a knife and then BEAT THEM WITH A BASEBALL BAT...
...she was ALREADY OUT ON BOND for child endangerment!!!
The boy may lose his ARM.
Her name is Taylor Gosnell. She's 35, from Cowpens, in Spartanburg County.
On February 12th, 2024, she was arrested on two counts of unlawfully placing a child at risk of harm.
A judge set bond at $5,000 per charge, she walked.
That case sat in the system for 31 MONTHS!!!!
No trial.
No resolution.
Last Friday night, deputies say, she picked up a baseball bat and a knife.
Investigators believe the attack happened in the dark, overnight.
Then she LEFT.
Her 3-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son lay injured in that house, for HOURS.
Saturday afternoon the 6-year-old found a way to call his grandmother.
He told her his mom wasn't there, and he and his sister were hungry.
Grandma grabbed Gosnell's ex-boyfriend and drove over.
They found both children covered in BL00D.
Televisions smashed.
Mirrors shattered.
Glass everywhere.
"Between the two children, we're estimating that there were approximately 50 ST*B wounds," said Graham McLellan with the Sheriff's Office.
"Some of the lacerations were so deep they cut to the bone," the Solicitor's Office told the judge.
The little boy took the worst of it.
Prosecutors say he's "facing the possibility of amputation of fingers and possibly an arm."
HE IS 6 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While deputies were still inside, Gosnell pulled up to the house.
She was talking fast.
She told them she was having "visions."
Then she tried to run from the ambulance.
Deputies handcuffed her to the stretcher.
AND IT GETS WORSE.
Both kids are at Prisma Health Children's Hospital in Greenville.
Multiple surgeries are ahead of them... please, PLEASE pray for these two young children today.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

Most people know about the Glass Ceiling.
Far fewer talk about the Glass Floor, or the Glass Wall.
In his provocative essay The Glass Floor and the Glass Wall, published in New Male Studies, Tim Goldich asks us to look not only up at society’s most powerful positions, but down at its most dangerous and undesirable ones:
newmalestudies.com/OJS/index…
The same social structures that historically constrained women’s rise to the top, Goldich argues, also helped insulate women from the very bottom: mine shafts, prison cells, foxholes, homelessness and hazardous labour.
Look at the whole pyramid and a vastly different picture emerges...
Men have disproportionately occupied both extremes: the boardroom at the top, but also the battlefield, prison, dangerous workplace and street at the bottom.
Goldich captures the asymmetry memorably:
“For every one CEO there have been many POWs.”
Then there is the Glass Wall: men looking into a world of intimacy, vulnerability, home, family, parenting and belonging, while traditionally being expected to earn their value through providing, protecting, performing and achieving.
Goldich’s argument isn't that women have had it easy. It's that removing the ceiling while ignoring the floor and wall cannot give us the whole story of gender equality...
Perhaps his most powerful observation is this:
“The opposite of love isn’t hate: it is indifference.”
We readily notice the small number of elite men at the top. But how often do we notice the vastly greater number of men carrying burdens at the bottom?
The image says it beautifully: "never settle for less".
But also remember who makes it possible for you to have more...

Rapists would face life imprisonment and family violence perpetrators who drive their victims to suicide would be charged with manslaughter under a re-elected Labor government.
The toughened stance on family and sexual violence aims to “put more perpetrators in jail and keep them there”. > bit.ly/3TjJsb1

I don't ever want to hear about the manosphere or misogyny ever again.
Feminism is such a cancer on our society that our judicial system has decriminalised women murdering their own children.
State mandated Patriachy or total civilisational death.
An Australian mother who stabbed her two young sons to death in their beds has avoided a prison sentence after a judge found she was not criminally responsible because she was suffering from "a severe case of major depression".

Did you see much coverage about the mother charged by NSW Police with throwing her dead baby into a garbage bin in Auburn on 31 August?
Of course not, the woke nutter media are more obsessed with the joke crap of Andrew Tate and the ‘Manosphere’!!
