(1) The Democrat-run city of Duluth, MN has many claims to fame but did you know it's famous for the Duluth Model, a feminism-based domestic abuse treatment program?

(2) Can I just say, when I went looking for a nice photo of Duluth I realized that the city has the ugliest bridge in the world.

OK, back on topic.

(3) Programs based on the Duluth Model teach women that their abuse is due, in part, to "patriarchy"

For decades, the model has contributed to governments minimizing domestic abuse that isn't male on female.

(4) While Duluth Model-based programs have saved many lives & rescued women & children, they've helped hide:

>female on male
>female on female, and
>male on male violence

Logically, gender inequality just one factor in abuse.

(5) The idea that sexism against women is bigger than many possible factors in domestic abuse has led many people to #WalkAway from feminism, certainly from post-1980s feminism.

American women have the greatest equality of opportunity in the world.

(6) Somehow, the extreme bias of liberal "researchers" in 1970s Duluth has been allowed to cloud domestic abuse laws & treatment worldwide.

(7) There must be literally thousands of examples of intentional & unintentional harm caused by liberal takeover of academic research since the 1960s.

The harmful & extreme gender bias of the Duluth Model is just one example of why we need to have a massive rethink.

(8) The struggle to restore academic objectivity & integrity to universities worldwide will be long, but we must begin, because lives depend on it.

One day I hope domestic abuse survivors will get the same opportunities for help whether they're female or male.
