More than 700,000 men are thought to experience violence from a partner every year – but new research has shown that they risk counter-accusations.

Dr Jessica McCarrick, a senior lecturer in Counselling Psychology at Teeside University, carried out a study with male victims of abuse. Men are often treated with suspicion by the criminal justice system, she told the Telegraph.

‘To find the courage to speak out, only to be accused of violence themselves, is incredibly disheartening and ultimately prevents countless men from reporting intimate partner violence,’ she said.

...

The number of women convicted of domestic abuse has quadrupled in the last 10 years, going up to 3,735 in 2013/14 from 806 in 2004/05. It is not immediately clear how many arrests of male perpetrators of abuse against men there have been.

I think you misstated something. Didn't you mean "female perpetrators"?

LOL y'all didn't know?

Last thing you want to do is call the cops....even if the nutty bitch just stabs your ass. You go to the hospital and you STFU.

Somehow, some way her abusing you is your fault. She might go to jail too but if you're a male in a DV incident you're practically guaranteed to wind up in jail.

Feminists would say there is no such thing as a male victim of female perpetrators, DV = violence plus institutional power ya know

ain't I right, Sean Renaud?
