Such recognition is long overdue. Discuss.

Their actions would speak louder than their words.

Clearly the people running the survey didn't give much of a demographic breakdown of the respondents. Not just gender, but was the group ethnically diverse, did it include disabled people and so on?

Some would say this is misandryland, like sending girls to a girls school, and boys to a school where they're taught not to behave like scary monsters and suprecreeps.

Is it any wonder that so many guys whow want equality of outcome for both men and women are becoming resigned to the idea that they will always be shoved to the back of the queue?

Getting good PCC responses to our letter stating the addition of VAWG in the Strategic Policing Requirement DOES actually include men, despite Home Office deliberately failing to explicitly say in it that it does.

Inclusion not only has to be done. It has to be seen to be done. If men are included that must be said everywhere you'd expect to read it. Othewise, if you don't say that it 's included, people implementing it may assume it isn't.

The subtext behind that may imply that if you are not pleasing to the eye, or aren't a card carrying member of the 'fairer sex' you can't be good, because that's the preserve of the pretty. How shallow! Beauty is only skin deep and all that.

What's happening in the video? I just hear a load of street sounds.

There came a time a couple of years ago, when reporters replaced the phrase '''#VAWG' with '#Male VAWG', thus discounting female victims of female violence whilst further demonising men, as if the many were collectively guilty for the egregious actions of the few.

This is important to remember, and despite what I've read elsewhere, it works whether the pet owning victim is male or female.

I've seen too many #DomesticAbuse policies, Drug & alcohol abuse policies and the like, which say in the introduction that the policy is gender inclusive, but the rest of the text is written in gendered language: "why doesn't he stop instead of why doesn't she leave', and so on.

This elegantly expresses the value of men and the importance of recognising that the good men in your lives could be victims or survivors.

He'd be called out for gaslighting the entire #DomesticAbuse sector. Sounds like she is doing the same.

This is especially likely to be the case since buses with engines running, even the electric ones, make a hell of a lot more noise than the ratchets of a passing bike.

Don't take this too seriously, but he may have been thinking of boarding the bus. You alight from the bus when you get off. But many thanks for the description of the video which I now know features Andrew, with whom I went to school.

1. Radio 4 front row tonight: a new production of Noel Coward's Private Lives. The actors wanted the violence to be 50/50. The producer insisted the husband had to display most violence, tecause the vast majority of perpetrators were men, the vast majority of victims women.
