It seems that some women consider Ms Batty as a fabulous advocate for women's rights and a sensational anti-DV campaigner. I would suggest that she got her current gig as a direct result of the tragic murder of her son. Her highly dysfunctional family experience is very untypical, although we are led to believe, through highly exaggerated and false "misandrist pay-back" rhetoric, that it is common place. People with highly untypical life experience ought not to be preaching to others about the "tsunami" or "plague" of DV. The only plague or tsunami with respect to domestic violence, is to be found in the media and various other advocacy groups/individuals with vested interests.

A simple comparative analysis of female mortality rates in Australia quickly shows that domestic violence is not a significant threat to women lives (i.e less than 100 deaths per year). Deaths by car accidents, suicide, brea@st cancer, bowel cancer, (various other cancers) and particularly cardio-vascular disease which kills around 20,000+ Australian women per year, are all much more significant mortality factors for women. Female mortality from DV is miniscule based on any comparative analysis.

Ms. Batty has the media's sympathy, and, accordingly, she is regarded as being beyond reproach. Her son being killed does not make her an expert on domestic violence, quite the reverse. This women has probably been scarred by her highly untypical family experience and should never have been co-opted into anti-domestic violence campaigning. At best she's being cynically used by feminised media to promote women's rights & interests. At worst, she is a terribly embittered human being, peddling a hateful misandrist agenda, driven by her highly untypical life experience, which is simply not applicable to the vast majority of people in society. It may comfort her to believe her experience is typical, suggesting that she needn't take any responsibility at all for what happened to her son, but the simple facts are quite different.

She, and others, are doing more harm than good as they continue to promote a hateful misandrist agenda through the media. It has become a shameful industry now, which too many women, including Ms. Batty, rely on for their emotional and financial sustenance.
