Television, News, Movies and what have you all present us with images and stories of married women getting kicked around on a daily basis by their male counterparts. They present us with a picture of domestic violence typically occurring in a marriage or cohabitant relationship.
TRUTH:
Married and cohabiting women are the LEAST at risk to experience domestic violence (2.3%). Married and cohabiting men too (3%).
Interesting isn't it? The men are slightly more at risk than the women.
Why doesn't the media point this out?
BRAINWASHING:
Men are presented as the demonizing factor in any relationship. This installs fear and hatred of men in women (and men too). The closer the relationship (cohabitant or married), the more acute the violence is shown to be. This convinces people that men are the most violent with the people they "chose" to live with. It presents them as having no control over their temper as well.
