Speaking from personal knowledge... But I would really like to know when DV became women only focused. Sure women make up a majority of reported victems and I am not taking that away in the least bit. DV isn't just wifebeaters, husbandbeaters and their victems are the silent cases nobody hears about, and nobody talks about. As far as I'm concerned, if you are talking decreasing DV and focusing on the women victems, then I call you short sided. I know several men who are current and past victems of DV, a couple have even been convicted of misdemeanor DV charges, even though everyone knew they were the victem, and only got convicted because they fought back and the abuser filed charges of their own...
*gets off soapbox*
Sorry, this is kinda a sensitive subject for me and I didn't mean to derail, but I felt it needed said...
