“RE Nov preview : Violence is committed by all genders. Raising boys AND girls in ways that respect genders is what matters. Violence is more than just physical, it’s also emotional, psychological, verbal, etc. It’s any behaviour intended to harm. All genders need to take responsibility for this and all parents need to see that when it comes to acts of violence raising boys is no different to raising girls because both can be perpetrators. There is a misconception out there that males are always perpetrators and females are always victims but this is not the case because males don’t report DV when it happens (for several reasons) so the data is biased. The sooner we remove gender from the popular discourse that always assumes that males are perpetrators and females are victims the better because it is making us blind to the real causes and the scale of the problem.”
