Don't have statistics but men are more likely to kill stepchildren than their own.

It's not that you have been sheltered but reflects that many of the really dangerous men are on the fringe of society and many would give off the vibe that warns people from being around them. Agree, it starts with telling young boys that it's not okay to be violence towards women, and there...

This topic should have its own thread. Framing this issue in terms of patriarchy is part of the problem, the men that have a deep hatred of women don't necessarily come from privilege. The police and people involved in social services and people more generally know who the really dangerous men...

This story would be a shock to the people who view the world in black n white terms and think footy should be wholesome, but it could be argued the clubs are proactively testing the players and removing them from playing while drug effected. The point of drug testing for illicit drugs isn't...

Wright ignores 3 on 1 then the next player kicks to 1 on 3.

Another option to boycotting matches against Afghanistan, would be to play them but bring Ellyse Perry into the side.

He shouldn't be surprised if he is dropped. He seems to have lost all confidence in his marking ability.
