Women are great at coercive control

But it is all looking great. We are squeezing in all sorts of truth-tellers into this remarkable one-day event and tickets are selling well. Do act now if you want to be sure to be able to be part of what promises to be a remarkable day. Or sign in for live streaming if you can't make it to Sydney on August 31.

We're including a call for action – what can we do to restore that presumption of innocence? There's no point talking all day about the ways the system is now stacked against men without thinking through what we can do to improve things. We're hoping for a very exciting surprise speaker to advise us on how we can get action on punishing false accusers. Now wouldn't that be a step forward?

But we'll also be talking about how people can protect themselves – from false allegations of coercive control, for example. We've just had a former prosecutor and a criminal lawyer update our advice for these men – included in our comprehensive coverage of this topic on the Mothers of Sons website. Any man in a shaky relationship really should read this vital information. Plus, there's advice for male victims.

If you have never looked at the MoS information on coercive control, please check it out. We spent many months researching and putting it all together. It is the most comprehensive, truthful analysis of this dangerous new law available in this country.

Just this week I spoke to a number of police officers who are tearing their hair out at the prospect of having to charge men over a crime that is undefinable, let alone unprovable. Such a waste of police resources. But lots of lawyers will get richer defending these poor blighters. And feminists are rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of more men behind bars.
