Some studies show DV is initiated by the female at a 71% rate in non-reciprocal violence according to the CDC.

This University of Florida study shows females as most like to initiate abuse and stalk. Why do females initiate more often? It's simple. Because they can! Most men are socialized to not hit back.

Verizon Foundation in NOT educating the public . Verizon Foundation is spreading hate, fear, and false statistics against males with your Monster in the closet video. SHAME ON THE VERIZON FOUNDATION. Where did the stats come from for this video?

[murphymjm]

The video it is designed to scare little girls into thinking some day their dad will turn into a monster and for boys it will make them wonder at what period in the future they become a monster. The dads at Verizon who endorse this propaganda need to take a look in the mirror. Are they closet monsters? Do they believe someday they will become monsters beating their wives and little girls, but some how not their son?

Look up the word misandry. This video is pure hate toward men.

[murphymjm]

In this video you have displayed a great number of vile and untrue characteristics of both men and Domestic Violence.

In a nutshell it portrays sexism, misandry and left out females. In many western democracies including Canada and the USA there is near equality in DV between genders.

@garyonthenetube well as long as the "victim" has a vagina and the "perpetrator" has a penis

It sure is a bunch of crap.

It panders to the now witch hunt hysteria that special interests have successfully injected into the public mind.

Of course domestic violence should be stopped, but the pendulum has swung so far the other way, with a DM net so wide that it no longer requires real domestic abuse to charged and effectively convicted of it, on unproven charges.

Verbal abuse is now considered domestic violence, as is anything an accuser can claim made them "feel" bad.

[garyonthenetube]

What used to be domestic squabbles, arguments, bad feelings, disagreements, now are categorized as domestic violence.

Based solely on a claim with no evidence, and no chance to argue the accusation in court, a parent can be legally barred from entering their own home, denied association with their children, and forced to live elsewhere.

And this is usually the father in 95% of the cases.

Domestic violence laws must be reformed to prevent ACTUAL abuse, not hurt feelings.

This is a bunch of crap, What about the family and probate court systems throughout the great land of ours. The Judges and the DSS in all states are guilty of CHILD ABUSE when the deprive dads from seing there kids and allow moms to make false allagaitons and make dad out to be the bad guy with out even listening to the facts.
