Is violence against women bigger than violence against men ? That's sexist.. What happened to gender equality ? I'm going to start an organisation .. Gender equality - but only when they want it.
This whole thing stinks of the Adam Goodes saga. Everyone in the media proving they aren't sexist and really stand for violence against women to not be tolerated, just as they stood for 'racism' to not be tolerated. Bunch of scared manipulated rats with no courage to publish the truth.
Seriously? You think there's an issue of violence against men FROM WOMEN? I'm sure there is SOME, but let's not kid ourselves... violence against women is far more significant of an issue than violence against men, and even more damning is that violence against men is mostly performed by other men - not women.
The VAST majority of domestic violence is inflicted on females by their male counterparts.

I'm all for equality myself, but there is a huge issue that needs to be addressed when it comes to the attitude of men towards women.
Gender equality is one thing. Don't confuse it with 'gender sameness'. Men are far more prone to violent acts than women. It's hormonal...
No. But why does it matter about the stuffen gender ? That's what peees me off. No ones stopping women learning self defence... Going to the gym.. Getting beefed up. What if it was ronda rousey that he threatened ? He may have a broken nose instead... Women only want equality when it suits them.
And before someone says ' oh they shouldn't have to learn self defence or gain muscle ' well that's the world we live in, for males included. I know when I was a kid I got taught how to defend myself.
It sounds like you don't blame men for violence against women, nor Dusty for this incident with the woman in question?
What you're doing is victim-shaming.
Women, on average, possess 40% of the upper body strength of men. Therefore a woman learning to defend herself from the violence of a man isn't a simple thing, nor should it ever be necessary (but certainly encouraged IMO). They shouldn't have to go to the gym to get stronger and learn martial arts so that they can feel safe around men, and to suggest such a thing is truly misogynistic!
If if you truly think that we live in a society where the onus is on women to prevent violence from men then society itself needs to change on a larger scale. It is NEVER acceptable and it is NEVER the victim's fault that they have been subjected to violence.
What violence did dusty inflict in the victim,,,such terror that she felt compelled to call her employer 5 days earlier than the police learnt of it , to ensure they had an exclusive headline story for the 600 news .
Give me a break, this is blatant opportunism and these demands that DM be punished short of any charges being made, seriously what kinda civil rights abuse is that .
I've felt flatter than a Peking duck since this story broke and the HS aren't helping
