If the OPs post was to raise awareness about domestic violence against men then he's really gone about it in the wrong way. After reading through his posts it's clear that domestic violence against men is an issue and that we should potentially look into what we can do about it.
What I really take issue with is this dichotomy belittling the violence that women face. You don't need to do that to highlight your own issue and that's why myself and many others got their back up. He painted it as a zero sum issue in that we need to divert money from women's shelters to men's shelters which is just polarizing and completely threw this thread and his issue out of whack.
If anything this is a lesson in framing and delivery and what happens when you do a bad job at it.
