Many believe domestic violence is overwhelming perpetrated by men against women, but what you probably don't know is that feminist activists in the 70s literally resorted to terrorism to suppress the the truth - men face domestic violence at similar rates to women!
Erin Pizzey, founder of the world's first women's shelter in the UK (Chiswick Women's Aid, 1971), observed that domestic violence was often reciprocal rather than solely male-perpetrated. She reported that men also sought help and expressed interest in services for male victims.
Pizzey faced severe backlash: death threats, bomb threats, harassment, and even the shooting of her family dog - all attributed to militant feminists who opposed challenging the narrative of male-only perpetration. Pizzey was forced to flee the UK.
Similarly, in the US, researchers Murray Straus, Richard Gelles, and Suzanne Steinmetz conducted a 1975 national survey revealing roughly equal rates of partner violence by men and women.
Their findings, which highlighted female-perpetrated violence against men, drew fierce opposition from feminist critics. These researchers also received death threats, and bomb threats were made against conference venues where they presented.
Feminist activists resorted to extreme acts of violence to suppress the truth about female-perpetrated domestic violence.🤦♀️
