[quote]Even the Women’s Safety Survey 1996 acknowledges that 27 per cent of assaults on women are committed by other women. A figure that has received little acknowledgement or publicity. [/quote]

While I do think that violence against women, by women is a valid issue, prehaps the reason that figure hasn’t recieved so much publicity, because the fact that %73 of assualts on women are commited by men? I mean really, if this was ‘equal’ then either the numbers would be closer to 50/50, or there’d be so few assaults that it wouldn’t matter.

How are we discriminating men, by fighting violence against women, commited by men? If that number is correct, then of course society talks about men who are commiting assault against women. They are, by and large, the ones doing it after all.

Duh.

(Also: Why when googling feminist groups in my area, so maybe I could join one, did I find a MRA page, and an ‘anti-censorship’ page? but no information on joining feminist groups? Gah!)
