For so long men have been reported in the media as the only villains of family violence that some women feel free to speak openly about their violent tendencies without guilt or fear of recrimination. Thank you Bettina for putting the real stats out there. It's time to be fair - men don't have the monopoly on violence.

A child needs the love and care of both parents. Hope the custodial parent understands this and puts the best interest of the child first.

Even though I reject the term toxic femininity just as I reject the term toxic masculinity. If there were a toxic femininity, the first and most important rule would be: Not a word about toxic femininity.

Re, " ... judges are using untested domestic violence accusations to keep fathers away from their children – ignorant of the fact that research shows in most genuinely violent families, women are involved in two-way violence..." : I'd suggest that the anti-"Family" judicial system remains deliberately or conveniently "ignorant" - and that that's principally why the personnel were specifically selected for that function. Don't the 'controlling' officers have staff who can "research" basic concrete facts - or is "Justice" obliged to remain blind to facts?? The voters must take some responsibility for electing our rotten Executive Governments which arrange these devastating perversions of the "administration of Justice" in our 'Third Branch of Government'.
