The average person does not realize that men as IPV victims is a "new" research area.
IPV was initially only framed as something men do to women. As more research is conducted, it becomes clear this is wrong. Men are abused by female partners often, in the same ways, to the same lasting impact.
Men also face unique problems in IPV women don't.

I wonder what is the position of Refuge on men who claim to be women? It has always seemed a very strange conundrum that so many of the extremely well funded organisations that claim to protect female victims of male violence are either silent about sex or actively agree men can be women, such as Charlotte Proudman.
Fixating on someone who’s minding their own business, repeatedly forcing yourself into their personal space until they assert a boundary, then playing the victim and smear-campaigning them as the attacker is rapey and deeply predatory behavior.
That’s the same character of a rapist. That person is fundamentally no different from any other rapist.
The scapegoat of a malignant narcissist family is not allowed to be happy.
Your happiness threatens and offends them.
If you are happy and look well adjusted, then that is going to screw up the narrative that they’re trying to paint that you are the problem. So they have to do everything they possibly can to make you miserable and angry and depressed.
Please do everything you can to escape them and never look back. They aren’t your family. They are literally trying to kill you in front of the world and make you look like the problem to get away with it. They’re using you in the most disgusting way imaginable.
It only takes one person telling a convincing story to dismantle an entire family.
One manipulator, one carefully constructed version of events, and suddenly people who loved you for years are looking at you differently.
They don't come ask you what happened.
A narcissist will destroy your peace, then turn around and complain that you're "too emotional."
They will provoke you, dismiss your feelings, cross your boundaries, lie to you, manipulate situations, and then act shocked when you finally react.
The moment you react, the entire focus shifts, now nobody's discussing the lie, the betrayal, or the disrespect, they're discussing how you yelled, how you cried, how you lost your temper. #Narcissist
A narcissist's idea of a "perfect relationship" goes like this: They do whatever they want. You say nothing.
They expect unlimited freedom for themselves... and unlimited tolerance from you.
Ah the, the Girls' club. That's what you get when you have #VAWG policy and approaches to justice systems. At the end of the day, it's children that are harmed by this nonsense. #GammaBias#Gynocentric#Patriarchy
