Alrighty, here we go.
First of all, I did not say that 70% of domestic violence was a woman beating her man. Please do practice some reading comprehension for this post.
What I said amounts to 50% of domestic violence being a man and a woman abusing each other, 33'ish% being a woman abusing a man and 17% being a man abusing a woman.

http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_report2010-a.pdf (keep this one open in a tab, I will be referring to it a lot... for now, go to pages 37-49)
While the CDC numbers don't quite match the numbers in the Martin Fiebert analysis, they do get quite close, which is impressive for a survey that is biased enough against men to define being made to sexually penetrate someone else as something other than rape.
So please do try to refrain from using straw-man arguments here... it's unbecoming.
Now, with these facts in mind, try doing a google search for "government funded shelters for men"... see if you can find any.
The Duluth Model is the pre-eminent model for treating Domestic Violence, and the American Police force is trained in it by power of the Violence Against Women Act. This is all fairly common knowledge. What most people ignore however, is how the Duluth Model blatantly discriminates against men.
The Duluth Model posits that violence and abuse between intimate partners is definitionally male violence, and that victimization in domestic abuse is definitionally female victimization.
In the Duluth Model, all violence and abuse is male-sourced, even that which is perpetrated by women. Female-initiated violence and abuse does not exist, because all such violence or abuse must, in the framework of the Duthuth model, be either in self defense from a male aggressor, or in response to pre-existing male-initiated abuse and violence. Indeed, the Duluth Model posits a psychological framework of domination, control and aggression onto the male psyche, as if masculinity itself is a malignant, violent mental disorder.
All violence is male. All victimization is female. Female abusers don?t exist, male victims don?t exist. In fact, the causes of violence within intimate relationships, such as poverty, mental illness, drug addiction, alcoholism, poor communication or coping skills, childhood trauma, PTSD and other causes, none of these things exist either. Or, if they exist, they do so separate from, and with no causal relationship to domestic violence or abuse. In Duluth, all abuse is male, and masculinity is a synonym for ?abusive?, ?aggressive? and ?violent?.

Go ahead and read up on it from their own material, they barely even try to hide their bigotry.
As for Title IX, if you're not going to believe me, then maybe you're going to believe a fellow feminist.

Strange how a law that was advertised as a way to get more female students into sports has somehow given school tribunals the power to do criminal investigations.
"She Fears You" lectures are very much real and of course are only one of the examples of how male college students are demonized, stating that it is men's responsibility to prove that they are not rapists.
Funny how you should bring up New York State Law as an example of how I'm wrong, since even feminists criticize New York State Legislature for defining rape only as vaginal penetration and not also anal and oral pentration.
http://www.salon.com/2013/01/26/when_the_law_wont_call_it_rape/
And since it's pretty much impossible to penetrate a man's vagina, then it is legally impossible to rape a man in the State of New York.
So your so-called gender-neutral legislation isn't worth the shit it could hold as toilet paper.
I'm not very well read on Australian law, but I do know that you have your fair share of problems with misandrous legislation.
Since you called bullshit on everything I said except my family court claim, that must mean you also didn't believe me when I said that the percentage of male victims of being "forced to penetrate" matched the percentage of female victims of rape.
If you already have the tab for the CDC report open, go to pages 18 and 19 then have a look at the 12 month period stats for female rape victims as well as male victims of being "made to penetrate".
If not, here's the link again:
http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_report2010-a.pdf
"There are several Federal Offices for Women's Health and none for Men's Health, despite men having on average 5 years shorter lifespans."
You're seriously demanding sources for this? This shit is common fucking knowledge that a 10-second google search will easily confirm.
"Significant government funding goes into making the job-market more woman friendly and safe for women, meanwhile 95% of all workplace deaths are men."
Affirmative action isn't about hiring the most qualified person. It's about purposely advantaging people who are not the most qualified.
Oh, and I'm terribly sorry about reciting statistics off the top of my head and getting them wrong by a whopping 2%.

Look under "Risk Factors".
Funny how getting women into more leadership positions is seen as one of the main ways of achieving equality, but getting more women into, shitty, hard and unhealthy lines of work isn't.
Next up we have my sources for sex disparities in criminal sentencing.

You're welcome.
Suicide took the lives of 30,622 people in 2001 (CDC 2004).
Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death for all U.S. men (Anderson and Smith 2003).
24,672 suicide deaths reported among men in 2001.
http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/suifacts.htm
24,672 / 30,622 = .8056952
In other words, over 80% of all suicide deaths in 2001 were male.
Now... this is where I will admit to having made a mistake.
A divorced man is not ten times more likely to commit suicide than a married man... he's only three times more likely to commit suicide. He is however ten times more likely to commit suicide than a divorced woman. I got those two factoids mixed up.

But hey, you don't have to listen to me. You can just accuse me of hating women and be done with it, like most other people do.
