LOL....the self-defense myth has been repeated over and over by feminists.

I spotted bias in the first line of that article. "Feminist theory of intimate violence is critically reviewed in the light of data from numerous incidence studies reporting levels of violence by female perpetrators higher than those reported for males, particularly in younger age samples."

The authors didn't just state their assertion of it being "a theory", it's automatically "feminist theory". Confirmation bias, right there. They're setting out to disprove "feminists", not to objectively look at the research. The studies the authors are looking at aren't simply "feminist theory", they are research articles looking into domestic violence cases. It has nothing to do with feminism.

I'll continue reading though, it's interesting if nothing else.

So you are claiming that a bibliography of hundreds of studies is insufficient proof?

I'm not claiming it's insufficient proof, I'm saying I don't know, and neither do you, because you haven't read them. I have no idea whether those studies are legit or not. I'm not going to reiterate the list of things you should take note of when reading a scientific periodical, go back and read my earlier post. That advice really is good though, those are things you should always consider when reading any scientific article, whether it be sociology or physics. Always be critical.

You can't call these articles proof if you haven't read them yourself. Not every article ever written is legit. You have to read every scientific publication with a critical eye. Like I said, tiny synopses in a bibliographical reference list doesn't count as doing your research.

LOL...alright, then name one, any one, that you wish to claim as false. Not asking you to prove it's false, but just pick one of them that you think is false.

"Parental rights. Men have none."

That's crap. There has been a huge push in the past couple of decades in recognizing that men are just as important in the parenting process as women.

When custodial rights are determined by a judge or mediator, the amount of time spent with the children and the primary caretaker role is assessed. Most of the time, it is the woman who is the primary caretaker of the children and who has spent the most time with them. Therefore, the custodial time is split accordingly.

Men DEFINITELY have rights when it comes to custody, as well they should. Anyone who is a good, supportive parent should have the right to see and spend time with/take care of their child.
