Sexism and violence

"In a general way, anything that affects men is taken more seriously than anything that affects only women." - Gloria Steinman

Northumbria police is at the centre of a sexism row after launching a domestic violence poster campaign which depicts abusers as men. Our first piece today suggests that it's right to highlight that women are far more likely than men to be killed by a partner or ex-partner and that men should be more concerned with how to end all domestic violence rather than resorting to 'whataboutery'.

Elsewhere, we look at the reaction to allegations that Labour MP Simon Danczuk sent sexually explicit messages to a 17 year-old girl. It suggests that for some, an opportunity to laugh at a politician is more important than addressing how men treat women and the power dynamic that exists between the two.

And if you missed our round up of our most-read articles of the 2015, you can catch up with the stories that got you talking during the last 12 months over here.
