George commented on "Govt's VAW strategy is good news"
George said: It was a great article, and it's great news. (I feel so defenceless when I read the comments, though - I just don't understand how people can be full of so much hatred and ignorance. ffs.)

JenniferRuth said: I thought it was a great article Zohra. It's just a pity that the conversation always veers to a "what about the men stance" - I thought that the comparisons you used in the comments of the article really highlighted the ridiculousness of this derailing strategy.

gadgetgal said: Good posting - most of the comments were the usual stupid bordering on vile but there were some good ones as well - I liked that someone pointed out that there are actually many initiatives aimed at reducing violence towards men, including reducing knife crime and firearms, people tend to forget this. I even remember a specific campaign years ago to reduce sunburn in men since it was more likely to occur to them than women (apparently they were less likely to wear sunscreen) - I don't remember anyone complaining that it was sexist, it was just based on how many people you have to treat for burns! I do hope, though, that when the lessons against violence are instituted i

Deya commented on "Govt's VAW strategy is good news"
Deya said: Good article and good news. Agree wholeheartedly that once again, comment is free has been hijacked by people whose main aim is to undermine women's rights. Immediately does anyone write an article concentrating on any aspect to do with women, do these people show up and wail that men are being victimised by the cruel author, government, society and don't forget: the universe. This is an aside but I wonder if there is another Guardian-like forum which hasn't yet been colonised by the above kind of commenters where op-ed pieces can be submitted and rationally discussed? Or is the whole of mainstream news media like this?

Catherine Redfern said: I very rarely read the comments on Cif for that reason! Anyway - might be a silly question but how would a change of Government affect this strategy?
