I think it would be fair to state that women's advocacy has played an enormous role in managing or mitigating the impact men's violence from the early development of women's shelters, to raising awareness, to working towards a justice system that is beginning to take it seriously and so on and so on. I think feminism has been very active in this way. But solving the root problem of male violence towards women and children is not a something that women should be asked to do and I think asking women to actively probe men to find out if they are violent is a bit like suggesting a game of Russian roulette.
