What is the ifeminist position on domestic violence? Violence, except as used in a defensive capacity, is abhorrent, especially within the bounds of family or other intimate relationships. Ifeminists oppose the use of non-defensive violence by any person regardless of gender. We recognize that the conventional wisdom- that men are the perpetrators while women are the victims- is based on politics rather than on fact. Because governments are controlled by power-seeking special interest groups and because they impose blanket solutions on very diverse individualized problems lumped into a single category, ifeminism recognizes that governments offer little in the way of solutions to domestic violence. We support the private development of solutions that take into account and respect the rights of those individuals involved in or accused of being involved in domestic violence situations.
Yup. Blokes are just big fwuffy bunny wabbits.
