Facebook-Post der australischen Polizei über männliches Gewaltopfer löst Empörung aus

A post about domestic violence against men on the NSW Police Facebook page has sparked outrage and heated debate from commenters about the timing and nature of the comments.

The post - which was uploaded on Monday - shows a picture of a man with a black eye while the accompanying text explains that one in five victims of domestic violence are men.

Since then it has attracted over 12,000 likes, more than 1300 comments and has been shared on Facebook almost 3000 times. But the debate quickly turned sour with many pointing out that the upload was ill-timed in light of the murder of Sydney woman Leila Alavi allegedly at the hands of her estranged husband.

Die Daily Mail berichtet. Offenbar hat das feministische Lager seine einseitige Wahrnehmung der Dinge so stark in etlichen Köpfen verankert, dass etliche Leute regelrecht austicken, sobald diese Einseitigkeit in Frage gestellt wird und auch Männer vor Gewalt geschützt werden sollen. Aber auch inzwischen über 15.000 "Likes" und fast 4000faches Teilen spricht eine deutliche Sprache.
