From time to time I get contacted by organizations asking us to give them exposure. A few minutes ago I got an email from someone working for an American law firm, who might not have a bright future in targeted marketing:

Hey Mike,

My name is <name redacted> and I work with the law firm, Daryl Graves Law, PLLC.

Your page, http://j4mb.org.uk/recommended-websites/ is outstanding! Thanks for providing such a nice resource. I wanted to let you know we’ve created a guide for Preventing Domestic Violence against Women [my emphasis] – it covers the types and signs of violence, resources for victims, and more. Please let me know if you are interested in adding this resource to your site! You can find it here:http://www.darylgraveslaw.com/preventing-domestic-violence-against-women/

I would love to answer any questions you may have – feel free to reach out at any time.

All the Best,

<name redacted>

I responded with this:

Thank you. Given that most domestic violence is reciprocal, it’s not a gendered phenomenon, and when it’s one-way the perpetrator is more likely to be a woman than a man – all this has been known by researchers for decades – could I please see your guide for Preventing Domestic Violence Against Men? Thank you.

Best wishes,

Mike Buchanan
