"If you're not a Feminist, you're a Sexist"

I never said that. I asked how much of a problem was it for our society and, when it does happen, is our current justice system up to the task of dealing with it?

By "how much of a problem", my reasoning is "very often" = "we need to change something in our culture to better discourage it" while "once in a blue moon" = "this is not so much a cultural issue as an issue for our justice system and the individuals involved".

Quote:..And actually, male domestic abuse does happen a lot but it goes unreported likely because it isn't taken as seriously. So again, we should include all genders. Egalitarianism.

My wife, who IS a feminist, has in fact said domestic abuse against men should be taken more seriously without my even prompting her to do so.

This is why I ask what feminists you've been talking to and what exactly have they said about violence against men?
