A brief answer.
Something to feminist who are curious enough about the violence against women.
An answer to men's rights activists, who are much talking about feminist and men rights
It is an emergence to re-define the gender roles and 'a safe space' to boys and men in all communities. We can't stop it without changing the roots.
It doesn't mean that there are no violence against men by women. It is another side of the gender crisis. If we are not ready to talk about men violence against women, that implicit violence against men. As I am a man I feel guilty that some men are still doing violence, because it affects all men and their dignity.
So we should come to a line to find solution instead of find problems.
