For over a decade the domestic violence industry has kept a lid on any objective discussion of domestic violence, including that half the perpetrators are female. This has proven a very effective means of enforcing a narrative that it is all about 'respect' and toxic masculinity, not couples getting drunk and beating each other

The floodgate is now open for a woman to allege her partner has been emotionally controlling, and that may be enough to get him sent to prison. This new criminal offence is difficult to define, impossible to prove and designed purely as a weapon against men. All this makes the upcoming Restoring the Presumption of Innocence conference a long overdue counter to those destroying the rule of law

Two recent cases ultimately contributed to the decision by the Crown Prosecution office to hold an audit into whether sexual assault cases are being supported by unsatisfactory evidence. These are important decisions, which should help clarify an issue causing endless strife

Better and fairer outcomes in cases of alleged sexual assault is the stated feminist goal. But in the current climate the objective appears simply to obtain more rape convictions. So, hang the science of male sexual response -- unless, of course, it can be used to ensure more 'victims' come out on top

Police were informed that the mere fact a complainant -- in this instance Brittany Higgins -- had been interviewed could be sufficient in itself to result in charges being laid.  No longer were police to reach their own decision about whether a case had legs. No need for cogent evidence or thorough investigation. Regardless of what counter-evidence investigators might have amassed, a woman’s 'truth' would be enough to land a man in the dock

The inquest into the horrific fire-bomb deaths of Hannah Clark and her three children at the hands of an estranged husband was not a fact-finding mission. Rather, it was a posthumous show trial that sought to hitch the monstrous act of a 'powder keg man' to the wagon of the latest feminist bandwagon – enthusiastic consent and, more importantly, the concept of 'coercive control'   

Every year sees campus feminists ramp up the pressure on administrators to 'believe the victim', which invariably means the presumption of guilt is hung around the necks of young men who are then denied open, fair and unbiased hearings. With craven university administrators keen to get activists off their backs, more young men will be chewed up and spat out, their lives and plans ruined

Blaming COVID's lockdowns for a purported surge in domestic violence has proven a neat little earner, securing an astonishing 150 per cent increase in Commonwealth handouts, which have leapt from $100 million to $250 million per annum at least until 2022-23. Not bad, eh? Particularly as that 'epidemic' of violence was actually a decrease

The Left is nothing if not predictable: harass, denounce, slander and isolate anyone who dares to disagree -- all of which and more has been visited upon Bettina Arndt since her Order of Australia was announced. Today we re-publish an essay whose dismantling of the campus rape myth has helped drive Bettina's critics to their ongoing spasms of venomous hysteria
