Superb summary Bettina. Thea Brown's data is available from Cambridge Uni, in an article she published there in 2020 - Filicide: the Australian Story. Hope that helps. Stopping the abuse of children helps everyone.
Eeva Sodhi demonstrated how research was being high jacked to support a certain narrative, data was not collected or made not available to hide reality
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.
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'.
Yes, we must take responsibility for allowing this to happen. The media knows they can get away with promoting the 'dangerous dad' narrative because the silent majority so rarely speak up objecting to their constant bias and distortion of the facts. Politicians constantly point out to me how much of their correspondence comes from the feminist mob, who also control the public dialogue. They need to hear more from us, the other side.
I totally agree with the need to keep hammering our politicians—at all levels—with the facts, especially whenever they are caught making a <ahem> mistake in what they say. Many of them, I am sure, do not mean to be biased against children and men: they just don't know better. Nobody can be expected to know everything about every issue that politicians are asked to deal with, which leaves it up to us, the voters to inform them and keep reinforcing our message with them until it is no longer necessary.

It is a pity that mainstream media will continue to ignore this vital issue.
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.
