Much of this is the same as my outlook. I can't count the times I have said or written that as long as we define "violence" as something men do to women, we have no hope of stopping it, because we haven't identified the problem.

I'm still waiting to hear any feminist who says that the very first time a man hits a woman, she should leave him, also say that the very first time a woman hits her child, the child should be taken away. (I'm not arguing that the woman shouldn't leave, nor that she should, just that there's an inconsistency here.)
