Er, Mr Robertson. Didn’t you miss something?
Scottish survey finds male abuse approval
Source: BBC
More than half of women questioned at a Glasgow university said they approved of wives hitting their husbands. The Glasgow Caledonian students were among 6,500 women surveyed from 36 universities for an international study into attitudes on domestic violence. Of the 200 women, 60% said it was acceptable for women to hit their husbands while 35% admitted assaulting their partner. A total of 8% admitted injuring them - the highest rate in the study.
HEY NEV, HOW ABOUT CONDUCTING A SIMILAR STUDY AT WAIKATO UNI?

Stephen,
Great post. You have just created something we can research.
I was just thinking about the how parents are drummung into their sons “Don’t hit a female, no matter what she does, don’t hit her” and what is the result? The younger generation of girls are teasing these boys, are abusing them because they can’t hit them. The frustration for the young men is over the top. The behaviour of the young women is out of control.
And that can be measured. We will not get 200 cases becasue NZ top dogs won’t listen to a small measurement. So we will get thousands. We will survey thousands of young females and thousand of young mens.
You’re a genious.

Oh, by the way I am not condoning hitting a female no more than I condone a female hitting a man.
I am saying that we have created an environment where males have no
defence towards female.

Julie,
Thanks. I wouldn’t go so far as to describe myself as genius. However, I’d welcome someone in nz doing research into nz women’s attitudes to hitting partners.
One caveat I hold is I suspect many would lie to researchers to paint themselves in a ‘good girl’ light.
Still, such research could be revealing as the Glasgow reselt was.

Stephen,
after saying that, some women may lie to paint themselves as ‘tough, bad girls’ who don’t take shit. Its all in structure and how the survey is run. It is disgusting how these women can condone domestic violence. An obvious double standard, but of course they have their own rationalised justification.

Dear Stephen and Tony F,
You need to know that we are in are different era. Women have gained their equality. (You in particular Stehen, know this)
They have nothing to hide.
We are dealing with a whole new generation.
I tell you once again, Fuck these feminist. They are so yesterday.

Stephen,
this is our nearest research

I will do this research in NZ.

Julie,
I’m not so sure that women will all be upfront about giving themselves permission to abuse men. As you yourself have stated on another thread many women are into subterfuge playing mindgames. I’ve been around the blocks a few times and noticed such myself.
However I agree that some would feel bold enough to show researchers a brazenly abusive attitude to men. I’ve met plenty of those in nz too.
Neither are easy to deal with as one can morph into the other type in a flash as well. With all that feminazzi state power behind them too.
Monstrous!
However, I doubt I’ll ever get to meet your misandrist mates. Why should I hang out with barmy ballbreakers?
How thick would that be!
I don’t need to challenge them personally either.
I’m sure you’ll do that yourself……
unless you’re prepared to see them picking your son’s carcasses that is.

Sorry Julie,
I almost forgot. Good luck with your research into female abuse.
God knows we need it.

Here are 2 studies in New Zealand.

http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/170018.pdf
There is another study but they want $40 to access it.
Because of ethics committees and the like, it would be best to get a student involved who is doing a thesis and support them.
The time period will be a year.
