I am not in the least surprised televison companies have refused to
screen three advertisements raising public awareness of male terrorism
against female partners. The obvious reason is these male-dominant
companies do not want the issue of male violence against women to be
publicised, because it will upset and anger the fragile sensibilities of
male viewers. Programme makers are engaging in double thinking wherein
on the one hand it is supposedly acceptable for increasing fictionalised
acts of gratutious and sexually eroticised male violence against women
to be shown since it is only ‘fantasy’ (sic). Whereas three
advertisements informing male and female viewers that male violence
against women is not ’sexually erotic’ but is about male ownership and
male domination of female partners.

Incidents of fictionalised male violence against women have increased in
just five years by 120% and yet male-dominated and male-controlled
programme companies refuse to show these educational advertisements.
Perhaps the answer is straightforward – male and female viewers must on
no account be told about the realities of real male violence against
women because it would offend the fragile sensibilities of male viewers.

Which sex is being protected from having to take responsibility for
which group is overwhelmingly committing intimate male partner terrorism
against women – women or men?
