The debate lasted nearly seven hours. Almost all the 40+ designated speakers were feminist women, with stories of female victims and male victims. The Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities uttered the following lie, a claim made by many of the MPs who spoke in the debate:
Statistics show the overwhelming majority of victims of domestic violence are women, and the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are men.Anyone watching the debate could be forgiven for thinking that male victims and female perpetrators are all but unknown.
Philip Davies’s speech came late in the session, by which point speakers were being resticted to 5 minutes. He was interrupted by Maria Miller, the chair of the Women and Equalities Committee, who showed no interest in male victims throughout the debate (she also hasn’t bothered to attend Philip Davies’s debates on International Men’s Day these past few years). The video of Philip’s contribution is here:
