I’m very aware of the processes having worked briefly for a men’s violence service (that was interesting) I listened in to a number of calls and hardly ever did the violent man admit to or acknowledge their issues. A skilful counsellor was able to get some self insight but the focus was always on whether the person wanted to have a good relationship. The answer to that is almost always yes. And then it becomes about what helps to achieve that vs who is right or wrong.

there are known behaviours that are typically associated with almost all violence. And there is a known cycle. I also did some research on the association with dopamine malfunction and violence and narcissism - there is a correlation

the challenge in terms of male /female relationships exists with those whether the men have a preference for dominance and the women don’t like to be dominated. I could explain more but not necessary I think. Many men - younger and older feel
they have lost something with the rise of feminism.

so while I agree there is much improvement among the younger generations there are many who fall into the incel trap Jordan whoever is their go to expert to justify their anger

Good post P, agree with what you said. I don't doubt most men guilty of DV want a peaceful marriage, the problem is they want it on their terms.

Yes feminism seems to be a fear for so many men, same goes for Me Too Movement, as I suspect it undermines their preconceived status as males.
It's always been there but now it gets called out as it should. I think Trump can be used as an example of this as his following still adore him, including women, after all his obvious disrespect for women. I read the other day that Trumps core rusted on's are over the 65 age group, and the younger one's are falling away. This could be a reflection of where we stand on DV and abuse, ie attitudes passed down from the cycle. Time and education should work it's magic like it does with most of societies defects..
