Incisive writing Professor, and timely. Fear and consequences of censoring - dismissed from your job, socially shunned, or worse - prevent so much of the time speaking about what matters.

You are one of the shining lights for those of us men or women who have felt, or feel, trapped in the dark with this. Thank you.

Thank you for all your work to dismantle these feminist fictions that have and are hobbling western civilization. Please write a book for young women, perhaps the “real history of feminism” or “what they never told you about feminism.” It would be an instant classic.

Professor Dauber at Stanford University strongly disagrees with you.

The misogyny that dare not speak its name. Women are not consequential enough to be held responsible.

Amber Heard is the avatar of feminist use of the idea of domestic violence being only perpetrated by men onto women to dominate and ruin men. The most dreadful part of the trial, for me, was the audio of her taunting Johnny that nobody would believe he was abused because he was a man. This woman had taken off one of his fingers by shattering a booze bottle over his hand.

Previous generations were well aware of female violence and bullying. Even in the mid 20th century, I remember reading comics in the newspaper featuring women using rolling pins and frying pans as weapons (women are more likely than men to use weapons against partners). Punch & Judy shows featured mutual combat - the most common form of domestic violence.

It should be not only noted, but stressed, that domestic violence is extremely rare in heterosexual marriages (I recall reading some years ago it was about 5% of marriages, but recent publications seem to have numbers inflated counting things like name calling and threats).

Happily, I came across this recent article about violent wives:
