Same old, same old total neglect of male victims of domestic violence.

Justice for Men & Boys 
This might seem “off topic” but actually its a really good example of the casual attitude to male victims of crime, and the real world consequences. In this story no one thinks to ask why almost all the victims are boys. But the reason is simple and relates to our general gynocentrism. Ask any policeman and there are two reasons. The first is of course that the gangs themselves will reflect a masculine revulsion at harming girls. The second is actually quite a practical result the slightly more organised gangs coming from other Boroughs will know from experience that if their targets are boys there is little likelihood of any targeted “crackdown” by police. Whereas experience will have told them that mugging girls will get a lot of attention and cause a police campaign in response. So they will know that targeting boys is likely to leave them undisturbed in their activities! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12145079/The-fearless-MUM-PATROLS-taking-street-gangs-kids-safe.html
Of course the relevance to Domestic Abuse is that the same completely different response is evident in the attention to male victims of abuse and the immense resources put into “protecting women and girl”. Actual equality would mean the “mums” in this story could expect the same police response to protect their sons that would be delivered if the list of girls mugged grew. And paradoxically that the robbers masculine code didn’t prevent them from taking the easy pickings from girls. The whole feminist industry benefits from this “benign sexism” (or gynocentrism) while openly lying that society “condones” violence against women and girls!
