This constant focus on women (or girls) only needs to stop.
But it isn’t a constant focus on women only. This is one initiative in a parliament that will last 5 years and pass innumerable bills and other measures. Having said that, if one thing is a bigger problem than another, there shouldn’t be any problem with giving a higher profile to attempts to address it. Nothing in these measures says male-on-male or female-on-male violence isn’t a thing. Just that violence against women is more of a thing and needs more attention.
Well thats your view, I disagree.
I have long ago lost count of the number of articles that bang on about Women, Girls & Misogyny, while none about Men, Boys or Misandry. In fact its so rare I had to look it up - as I could not remember the exact word.
