Damaging feminist disinformation

By Bettina Arndt - posted Monday, 21 July 2025


Sure, if you dig deep on the site, you can find evidence of all sorts of interesting trends, like the significant drop over the last thirty years in homicides perpetrated by men, compared to female killing which remains pretty constant.

   

There’s also the fact that there’s been a large drop over the last three decades in female victims of intimate partner homicide, narrowing the gap between the sexes regarding this particular crime.

Surely it would make more sense for the website’s introductory page to include commentary on some of these trends rather than simply catering to the evil men agenda.

(Note - don’t read too much into small ups and downs. We are talking tiny numbers here – with only 55 homicides in 2023-4).

Then there’s NSW’s excellent criminal research body, the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) – which has long churned out solid reports using unbiased data on all sorts of vital issues. But even they seem to have recently adopted the ideologues’ DV playbook. Look at this graphic. Notice anyone missing?

Surely it is disinformation to ignore male victims and female perpetrators, to deliberately shape the data to give the impression that our country is overrun by dangerous men.

We are talking here about reports to police, which says nothing about how many are supported by evidence leading to actual convictions. And these reports would certainly include false allegations of assault made to give women leverage in family law disputes – an issue which is never mentioned in BOCSAR’s analysis, just as it is totally verboten in all government-controlled discussions of domestic violence.

Femocrats in government organisations are busily crafting an anti-male narrative not just in regard to domestic violence and homicide but in all sorts of other policy areas.
