I Hate Women Who Abuse Men
Women who abuse men are scum. They can get away with it too because the police refuse to take action against them.

@Adaydreambeliever. Researchers are aware of the limitations of various data collection methods. The self-assessment questionaire was designed with that in mind.
Taking a couple of the figures you quote, "4.2% of women and 4.2% of men said they had been physically assaulted by a current or former partner in the last year. 4.9% of men and 5.9% of women had experienced physical assault and/or frightening threats." I'm surprised that the percentage of men who said thay had been physically assaulted is the same as the percentage of women making that claim. It's well established that men are far more reluctant to admit being victims of domesic abuse so I would have expected the figure to be lower. That the figures are equal suggests the level of female on male DV is much higher than vice versa. The "and/or frightening threats" figures are more like what I would expect. Phyical assualt is objectively definite, it doesn't require interpretation. Frightening threats are more subjective. How many men would willingly admit to being frightened by a woman?
The backlash against feminism is due to men being pushed into second place. What started as a movement for equality has become a fight for female supremacy. It's no wonder men (and true equality feminists) are fighting back.
You say men and women are not the same. That's true but women are not the same as each other either. Neither men nor women need more than the other sex. Some people, of both sexes, need special treatment because of charactistics specific that individual. Giving that same treatment to all members of that individual's sex, whether needed or not, and denying it to members of the opposite sex, even when needed, is pointless, unfair and almost certain to create a backlash.
There is much more awareness of discrimination against women and more support for female victims. Just ask the minister for men. Sorry, I forgot, there isn't one, HM Government only appointed a minister for women.
