That’s a really interesting article particularly the number of crimes committed many I hadn’t seen in the news at all. And the take on the lady working at Tasmanian Police.

The pendulum has swung too far one way- and it’s turned into a bit of a scape goat attack I think where it’s easier to

Blame a man as the perpetrator as society is accepting of that narrative and too scared to challenge it (doing so you are labelled and attacked yourself) I hope it course corrects soon. I am seeing more social media on these topics and the videos are staying up so I think it’s starting to get visibility

Thanks for the post interesting eye opening reading

Dr. German is incredibly seems incredibly competent with her work with the Tas. Police. Very impressive.

Fiona and Bettina are conveying the truth. I encourage them completely.

Credit to Fiona Girkin for exposing the feminist lies and exaggerations , she could add to the work already done by Bettina and others. But where are the Tasmanian police when you need them ? Could they now show some courage and defend Fiona , this would add weight to the argument ,but recent history shows that any cop brave enough to object to the domestic violence industry will suffer disciplinary action . Police are showing their true colours and it is mostly yellow .

A commonsense read in the Noticer News this morning written by Blair Cotterell shows the inner workings of the female mind and how they think illogically. He uses the example of Corbie Walpole as mentioned in Bettina’s story. The headline is Crazy Corbie, makes interesting reading.

Thank you Bettina and Dr Girkin, we can only live in hope that Tasmania’s common sense approach goes Australia wide sooner rather than later.

Dr Girkin would have knowledge of the case I have attached below:

A woman from Tasmania ran over and killed her partner at 1 am on a desolate road south of Hobart. She was driving at 110kmh in a 50 km zone, stone motherless drunk. This occurred after an argument where her partner left their house and she followed in her car.

There had been prior occasions where the offending driver had attacked the deceased, once where he had to defend himself from a knife attack, shielding behind a frying pan.

The driver spent a small amount of jail time, but no conviction of manslaughter/murder.

Thank you so much Bettina and Dr Girkin.

Wow! Just what a non bias police force needs and that is to look at who is doing what in the home and not just who it appears on the surface to be the victim (my words as I understand Dr Girkin).

And the flyer with both stats on it. Wonderful.

No male stats.. that means that men aren't victims or it is not reported.

My comments on the interview with Fiona Girkin.

--------------------------------------

Another excellent interview from Bettina!

Kudos to Fiona for knowing her stuff, and being able to communicate it so well!

Fiona says that police at all levels are reporting that there are just as many female perpetrators as male. (@5:39)

It's not only interesting, but very suspicious (@16:10) that none of the $Billions spent on "domestic violence" goes to the places and demographics which are well-known to be the most likely to suffer it (ie. reciprocal dv, social deprivation, drug and alcohol abuse, intergenerationa dv). We just let these people suffer through generations of dv. One suspects that these groups are needed to keep up the "horrifying statistics" loved by feminists, and keep the funding flowing.

Another highlight for me was @20:15...

"I’d be confident to say the physical side of the violence is probably actually decreasing,” Fiona says, but the expanded definition means valuable police resources are being spent on policing people who raise their voices or are mean to their partner’s cat.

"If police are out attending to a low risk home they could potentially miss a call to a high risk home, and somebody dies"

Imagine the joy at the ABC and "domestic violence" industry when that happens! A "national crisis", "Nothing is being done for women's safety!!!!", and Albo duly coffing up another few $100M, and blaming all men - rather than looking at the cause of that one incident, ie. police time being spent on trivial cases.

As a victim of serious false charges it is great to know that someone is our side, THANK-YOU.

Great article Bettina , a good comparison to the Hannah Clarke and Baxter case which made national front page news for days on end, weeks even ,only because the killer was a man . Women’s violence is excused to a great extent by our sick society ,especially if men are the victims. You can expect to hear thing like “ he must have deserved it anyway “or “he must done something to provoke her” . Centuries of social conditioning have ingrained the notion that women are alway good and that if the do a bad thing then there’s a reason, they can’t really be blamed.

The woman who threw petrol on her friend and burnt him is using this excuse, that his sexist comments somehow excused her behaviour, it will be interesting to see how lenient the court is with her sentencing.

A woman doctor from Geraldton WA who killed her husband with a hammer as he lay in bed got off very lightly, out on parole only 6 months after her trial . This was maybe the lowest point , violent women and women who kill should get heavier sentences .

Just think of the outcry if a man threw petrol on his girlfriend and set her alight because she said he had the "man flu" or had a "man's/boy's look for his car keys. It would be a talking point for a week in MSM and they would be demanding more brainwashing of males in our schools teaching them that there is NEVER an excuse for violence against women but multiple good reasons for a woman to kill or abuse a man.

The mother who threw petrol on her children in Toowoomba, Qld was barely reported, no candle lit vigil, no crying for the cameras by QLD Police Commissioner, no laying flowers outside the crime scene, no protests of ‘stop violence by mothers against children’. Where is the feminists now who use children as way of keeping a parent away from the child. The mother was known by Child Safety in many States.

I wrote about the very different approach to such vile acts by women and the silence from the candle carrying brigade.

Qld Police, more like female keystone cops.

Another article in The Age/SMH about how women must be protected from those awful men. At least heterosexual white cis men.

Melbourne architect Hosna Eqbal started mschess, a monthly chess club exclusively for women, LGBTQIA+ and non-binary people last year.

Her father taught her to play chess during the pandemic, and she fell in love with the game.

Eqbal says the club’s rules aren’t meant to be exclusionary – quite the opposite. Her goal is to create a safe space for those who haven’t traditionally felt welcome – or comfortable – in mainstream chess communities.

"Her goal is to create a safe space for those who haven’t traditionally felt welcome"

Mschess??? What nonsense. I was a member of the Bendigo Chess club through my adolescence in the early seventies. There were women and girls in the club AND those in other parts of the state. The secretary was a severely disabled paraplegic. My high school team had regular lunchtime meetups with the club from the nearby St Mary's Girls' School. Nerd and nerdette city. Anybody with the least bit of enthusiasm was welcome.

In reference to who could join Eqbal's group. I recently asked a friend if a certain Gay Business Group/Network was open to Straight/Hetero mnn'?

I was told: non heteronarmative men (gay, bi, transmen).

Strangely enough, a TransMan may not be 'gay'. I know of a TransMan who is in a relationship with a biological woman. Yet he could join this group!!

I know someone in Germany who is discriminated against because he is Bisexual and some gay men are the worst discrimators against bisexuals!

Interestingly enough the so called group mentioned above want to influence society but exclude people that might actually be of assistance! As an older man I'm starting to realise the big difference between Social and Business groups.

My partners son has a saying that I find rough every time I hear it: it's business, get over it.

As a gay man I have grown to dislike this word 'safe'. I could say I've felt very unsafe any many, many situations and that includes 'spaces' where there are only 'queer' people (the umbrella term now used for anyone that is not 'heterosexual' and it seems to be aimed more at 'men' than 'females'. I'm not exactly happy about this discrimination myself).

After many years of therapy I find the word 'safe' a very interesting one I tell you!

As expected, my comment to this story was not posted.

I followed up on one of the cases of acts of shocking violence by females and was horrified by the comments made by mostly women at the end of the article about a woman setting a man on fire because he made a "sexist" comment.

https://www.aol.com/lifestyle/lesson-learnt-woman-sets-childhood-110400367.html

I challenge you to read them without feeling the urge to do something unpleasant. It never ceases to amaze me when I read such shockingly vile, callous comments by women about male victims of violence. I recall Sharon Osbourne as host of The Talk- one of the many all female hosts television shows where the feminists spew bile on current affairs and politics, making horrendously cruel jokes about a man who had had his genitals hacked off while he slept because he had the temerity to ask her for a divorce.

The all female panel and all female audience cackled and cheered as Osbourne made jokes about the victim's penis and the same phenomenon occurred when Bobbit had his penis hacked off. Women openly celebrated the violence and of course there were no consequences for any woman on the panel nor was there any condemnation of the countless women who celebrated Bobbit's mutilation.

The same can be said of women's behaviour whenever men attempt to gather to speak about issues of concern to males- suicide, DV, homelessness. Feminists go to these meetings and scream abuse, chant and spit at men as they attempt to enter venues all of the time. Again, men have NEVER behaved in this manner over the many decades when rabid feminists have marched or gathered to rant about their victimhood. But once again-this clear and obvious difference in the attitudes of the two genders to the gathering of the opposite gender to talk and/or protest is never examined or discussed.

Men have NEVER done anything remotely as vile and repulsive, heartless and cruel as this common reaction by women to violence perpetrated on men. Yet we are branded the toxic gender. There is a cold viciousness to many women hidden under the veneer of a pretty face and harmless appearance.

I read the story and comments. I wanted to cry and vomit.

I somehow missed any report of this in the mainstream media.
