A STUDY of patients attending family doctors has found that 52 per cent of men and 43 per cent of women have experienced domestic violence.
The research, carried out by Trinity College Dublin and published in the European Journal of General Practice, reflects the findings of all other two-sex studies carried out in Ireland.
Mary Cleary who runs the AMEN Centre for abused males in Navan, Co Meath, said: "Despite the attempts of certain individuals and organisations to discredit AMEN, these findings again vindicate the position we have held on this issue for the past 10 years."
She said: "Dr Susan Smith, one of the study's authors, quite rightly commented that it was inappropriate to continue to address this issue as solely a woman's problem'.
"The figures from the Trinity College study totally discredit feminist theory that women are predominantly the victims and men the perpetrators."
According to Mary, the way domestic violence against men is treated by the State is proof that the Government is out of touch with reality.
Meanwhile feminists still try to keep the truth hidden, under wraps and maintain the myth that men are mostly the perpetrators for as long as they can.
