Whatever you want to call it - damaging violence, fatal violence, more extreme violence, reported violence. Who cares. The point is that violence is not accepted in our society, whether it comes from a man or a woman.
But you said more men do it. - "The fact that men are more likely to commit violence is unfortunate"
Most stats will say that men commit violence at higher rates - whether that's because anytime a man commits violence, it's far more damaging than when a woman does it, or just other factors, the point is it DOESN'T MATTER. It's ALL WRONG.
Whereas in divorce law, there are women out there that think that they should take the guy for everything that they've got and create lies and deception in order to do that - all the while thinking that what they're doing is RIGHT and in fact, there are a lot of cases where even the courts believe that this is right. I personally believe that this is a far more interesting point of discussion than trying to pull up meaningless stats like 8 men and 12 women were assaulted, when it basically means 20 people were assaulted.

Well, from everything I posted only one sentence is being discussed so what's the problem.
It's also the only thing I disagreed with in your post. I'm asking for equal funding for help in my original post.
"I've been assisting a Mens Rights Group now for 3 months and I am shocked at what is considered normal and okay. 3 months = I am not an expert at all but the FACT that women shelters receive $500 million from the government (Tax Payments) per year and Men receive $0 and the only male shelter in Canada is here in Calgary and it is an unfunded shelter, as well, it might close down, is horrifying. Do you care about this?"
Why is this such a big deal to ask for equal funding? Why wouldn't society what to help a man? Knowing this information, how many people here are willing to help with their time or financial contribution? Who here would sign a petition to demand that the Gov't give money to Men for Shelters and help as well?
