MODERATORS
 

Some months ago a podcast was published titled "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?" where two conservative women discuss whether the influence of women is corrupting white collar working environments, mostly arguing that it is. An edited transcript was later published as a New York Times column.

This piece was shortly afterwards renamed to "Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace" to damage control as it proved excessively controversial.

Of course, right wingers did not appreciate their contribution and found them to be part of the problem they discuss.

Are you kidding? Men are least likely to get custody. Abuse is 50/50. Here are the receipts. Took me 10 seconds with duckduckgo.

Please don't spread misinformation. Check your assumptions before stating them as fact.

Domestic Abuse Statistics

Research shows that one in three women is a victim of physical, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner. Although intimate partner violence impacts women of all ages, women ages 18 to 34 generally experience the highest rates. Men can also be victims of domestic violence. In fact, 48.8% of men have experienced psychological aggression, compared to 48.4% of women.

12 child custody statistics

Approximately 15,086,000 children under the age of 18 in the United States live exclusively with their mothers.

Approximately 3,054,000 children under the age of 18 in the United States live exclusively with their fathers.

I am not going delve very deep into this because it is not an area of my expertise but the little I know is how complex this issue is.

Domestic Abuse Statistics

That is specifically psychological aggression but the "one in three women" part links to another site that states that 36% of women vs 28% of men have experienced physical violence and stalking from an intimate partner. But that statistic is already more complex because much violence happens in self defense and a lot of violence from intimate partners is conflated with violence by family members.

12 child custody statistics

That's because fathers are less likely to sue for custody. And there are many special cases where father's are more likely to get custody.

I am out.
