Is Domestic Violence by Females Against Men the New Normal of Feminism?

Domestic Violence Awareness Australia has ignited a vital and timely conversation with their recent Facebook post, see below, shining a much-needed spotlight on the rising tide of female-to-male violence in mainstream TV, movies, and social media.

This well-considered stance highlights a troubling trend: media increasingly portrays women as superhumanly strong, superhero-like figures who brazenly attack men, while depicting men as foolish or incompetent—far from the reality of men’s historical roles in building civilisations and protecting societies. Social media videos amplify this narrative, normalising shameless female violence and downplaying its consequences.

This discussion is critical, as it challenges the lack of stigma around women’s violence toward men and children, which leaves men unfairly burdened and unsupported while their contributions to society are maligned with misinformation and propaganda.

Drawing on compelling data from Quarkbeat's own research, this article affirms the urgent need to address this hidden crisis, advocating for accountability, shame/regret for violent behaviour, and the inclusion of education to prevent female-initiated violence in programmes to prevent violence, ensuring fairness and respect for all are the values being taught.

"Who has noticed an increase in female to male violence on mainstream TV & movies? Feminism encourages women to use unwarranted violence against men. Firstly, men don't deserve this. Life is hard enough doing all the dangerous and difficult jobs to provide for women and children but then to add injury to insult is going too far.

Secondly, women are starting to think that this is reality. As if women can and should do this and that they are actually 'equal'. They seem to be oblivious that if are to fight with a man that they will not be severely injured. How do we address this? Do we allow women to continue to hit men without consequence or should women start to be treated like adults and face consequences?

Or, should we change the rules so if a woman does hit a man he is allowed to defend himself and accept that more women will be injured and killed? Or, should we start to teach girls to manage their emotions and be respectful toward men and not initiate violence? If men can't phone the police and trust the police to do the right thing, then how should a man respond?"

Strategic Recommendations

The position that society should “start to teach girls to manage their emotions and be respectful toward men and not initiate violence” is a critical and much needed response to the escalating crisis of female-to-male violence, raised by Domestic Violence Awareness Australia.

The Quarkbeat article, "Men as Victims of Domestic Violence in Australia: Unveiling the Hidden Crisis", exposes a deeply obscured truth: adjusted for underreporting, 3 in 4 domestic violence victims could be male, as only 2.8% of men report to police (97.2% don’t).

"Reported data shows 35.3% of FDV victims are male. But factoring in underreporting, this could rise to 3 in 4 victims (77.7%) being male, with 145,786 male victims compared to 41,793 female victims in WA alone. This means all commonly cited domestic violence data drastically underestimates the number of male victims, hiding a crisis where men may be the majority of victims". (QuarkBeat:2025)

This stark reality is buried by feminist narratives and biased reporting, which minimise female violence and perpetuate a culture where women’s aggression faces no stigma. More alarmingly, this cover-up fuels a cycle of harm, creating the next generation of perpetrators and victims. Children witnessing maternal violence—against their father or themselves—endure trauma that normalises aggression, increasing their risk of future violence or victimisation.

Social media videos and media portrayals worsen this, glorifying women as superhumanly strong while depicting men as foolish, normalising shameless female violence, dismissing men’s historical role in building civilisations and giving a kind of permission for females to attack their partners and children.

Teaching all children to manage emotions and respect others is essential to break this cycle, foster accountability, and ensure women feel shame for violent behaviour toward men or children. By stigmatising all violence and addressing the underreporting crisis—where 97.2% of male victims remain silent—society can support men who are routinely dismissed by the current feminist operated so called support services, creating a fairer, safer future.

The following gender-neutral strategies aim to prevent violence while tackling the epidemic of female-perpetrated aggression.

Strategic Recommendations:

1. Integrate Emotional Regulation in School Curricula:

   • Introduce mandatory Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programmes in Australian schools, focusing on conflict resolution skills while teaching all children restraint, self-control, empathy, and respect for everyone. Programmes like Respectful Relationships can be adapted to emphasise non-violence toward all genders, highlighting the real-world consequences of female and male aggression, including the trauma inflicted on children witnessing maternal violence.
   • Include lessons that debunk media portrayals, teaching children that depictions of women as superheroes or men as incompetent are unrealistic and that violence, especially by women against men, carries serious moral and social consequences.

2. Public Awareness Campaigns:

   • Fund national campaigns through organisations like DVAA to stigmatise all violence, including female-to-male aggression, using social media to counter videos glorifying women attacking men. Campaigns should highlight Quarkbeat’s reported data (e.g., adjusted for underreporting: 3 in 4 victims could be male because only 2.8% of men report to police), to encourage reporting and validate men’s experiences.
   • Promote messages of accountability for all, urging children to learn from non-violent role models and understand that violence, whether by mothers or fathers, harms families and shapes future perpetrators or victims.

3. Training for Parents and Educators:

   • Offer workshops for parents and teachers on raising children to manage emotions and reject violence, using Quarkbeat’s reporting of data on underreporting (only 2.8% of men report) to highlight the hidden prevalence of male victimisation and the impact of maternal violence on children. These could be funded under Australia’s National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children, expanded and renamed to include all victims.
   • Provide specialised resources to address early aggressive behaviours in children, ensuring interventions teach accountability and respect for all genders, preventing the normalisation of violence learned from violent mothers.

4. Media Reform and Literacy:

   • Advocate for media guidelines through the Australian Communications and Media Authority to reduce portrayals of women as unrealistically powerful or men as foolish, which is a factor associated with societal dismissal of male victims. Ensure depictions reflect the reality and consequences of violence by any gender.
   • Fund school media literacy programmes to teach children to critically analyse violent portrayals, emphasising that female violence against men or children is unacceptable and causes lasting harm, including to future generations.

5. Support Systems for All Victims:

   • Establish accessible helplines and initiate forensic audits of all services for all domestic violence victims, addressing Quarkbeat’s finding that 97.2% of male victims don’t report due to ridicule or dismissal. Expand and fully fund services like Men’s Referral Service to provide counselling and legal support for men, ensuring parity with female-focused services.
   • Fully fund law enforcement and empower them to treat all violence equally, ensuring consequences for female perpetrators to reinforce stigma to deter others from carrying out violence and to protect children from learning violent behaviours from mothers.

Eliminating extremist political operatives from employment in the FDV sector and carrying out forensic audits of support services to ensure programs are fit for purpose is the essential first step needed to repair the damage that has been done by extremist sex and gender ideologies.

By implementing gender neutral family and intimate partner violence prevention strategies, developed with the input of grassroots people, with proper program evaluations, in schools, communities, and media, Australia can cultivate a generation of adults and children who respect all people, manage emotions, and reject interfamilial violence.

This approach will disrupt the cycle of trauma and aggression fuelled by female violence, support the 3 in 4 male victims hidden by underreporting, and ensure women are held accountable for harming their partners or children, fostering a safer, fairer society.
