A *mass abduction* of children and *mass false accusations* against mothers are being planned and encouraged by men’s rights and fathers’ rights Facebook group “Domestic Violence Against Men” @DVAgainstMen (Sydney, Australia). See facebook.com/DomesticViolen… @nswpolice

Fathers’ rights groups / #MRAs privilege fathers’ contact with children over children’s safety. Try to discredit victims of violence, telling lies about false allegations. Try to protect perpetrators of domestic and family violence. xyonline.net/sites/xyonline…

Men’s and fathers’ rights groups are part of an anti-feminist backlash: xyonline.net/sites/xyonline…; xyonline.net/content/father…. They have encouraged dangerous changes to family law: xyonline.net/content/father…. They have done little to assist men’s actual parenting: xyonline.net/content/separa…

This is far from the first time men's rights and fathers' rights groups have encouraged or undertaken criminal activities. The Men’s Rights Agency, an Australian MRA group, was exposed in 1996.

MRAs: Men’s Rights Agency, an Australian MRA group, exposed in 1996. Hired private investigators to track down members’ spouses hiding in DV refuges, a coordinator was a violent gun runner & drug dealer, and had contact with man who then killed his family. xyonline.net/sites/xyonline…

This is also not the first time men's rights activists have encouraged, or themselves made, *mass false accusations* of violence. In 2013, MRAs flooded a Los Angeles college's sexual assault reporting system with false rapes. theverge.com/2013/12/19/522…

The irony that MRAs claim that women's false allegations of DV or rape are common, while themselves encouraging or making false allegations, could not be richer.

For the record, women's false accusations of domestic violence and rape are *rare*, as reviews of the evidence find. See these 3 reviews: 1) cdn.atixa.org/website-media/…; 2) Misconception 7, content.police.vic.gov.au/sites/default/…; and 3) xyonline.net/content/false-…
