Global Lawmakers Should Recognize Tactics Used by Feminists to Corrupt the UK Legal System

March 24, 2025 – Kasey Anderson was only 24 years old when his partner, Natalie Bennett, took a knife and stabbed him in the heart. Last week his family and friends commemorated his tragic and untimely death. His sister Molly sadly recounted, “Once he loved you, he loved you with his whole heart.” (1)

For years, the English legal system was regarded as a paragon of fairness and due process. But fairness has been turned on its head by gender activists who seek to silence their critics and compel science to bend the knee to feminist ideology (2).

Hundreds of studies conducted in the UK and elsewhere confirm that domestic violence is an equal opportunity problem, with women as likely as men to be abusers (3). But feminist ideology holds that only men can commit partner abuse, and that women never lie.

The feminist campaign to sideline due process and impartial investigations can be traced back to 2014 when a report from Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary declared, “The presumption that the victim should always be believed should be institutionalized.” (4) With that edict, the age-old presumption of innocence had been overturned.

That same year, Margaret Wente published an article in The Globe and Mail on the problem of anti-male misandry, which refers to the contempt for or ingrained prejudice against men. “There is a hard core of misandry and victim-culture in modern feminism that is deeply disturbing,” Wente warned (5). But feminists, never enamored of the ideals of free speech, decreed that claims about anti-male “misandry” to be off limits and subject to censure.

Feminists then sought to ingratiate themselves with three key groups: liberal politicians, the mass media, and victim commissioners, pressuring them to ignore the existence of male victims. When persons questioned their one-sided approach, the feminist response was to double-down and accuse their critics of being “misogynists.”

These tactics are best exemplified by Claire Waxman, who was appointed in 2017 as London’s first Victim’s Commissioner (6). Once in office, Waxman made no attempt to hide her bias.

When persons challenged Waxman’s one-sided claims, she ignored Margaret Wente’s warning about the reality of feminist “misandry” and denounced her critics as “misogynists.” In a 2021 article in The Guardian, Waxman made this implausible claim: “I have received a huge amount of abuse which has misogyny at its root, people who are trying to create a gender war.” Her article did not cite a single example of persons allegedly trying to start a “gender war.” (7)

Once male victims had been declared persona non grata and their supporters vilified as “misogynists,” feminists set out to advance the most inflammatory epithet of all: “toxic masculinity” – the hateful notion that masculinity and men themselves are innately bad.

The “toxic masculinity” theory has spread to the point that the Family Education Trust recently reported that nearly one-third of English secondary schools are teaching about the topic in mandatory “Relationships or Health Education” classes (8).

In a recent address to the World Economic Forum, Argentinian president Javier Milei revealed that feminism has become a “distortion of the concept of equality.” “But if you raise these points in the media or even at this Forum, you are considered a ‘misogynist,’” Milei warned (9).

Falsification, denigration, and vilification – these are the tactics that feminists use to undermine and ultimately subdue democracy.

The Domestic Abuse and Violence International Alliance – DAVIA — consists of 181 member organizations from 37 countries in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and North America. DAVIA seeks to ensure that domestic violence and abuse polices are science-based, family-affirming, and gender-inclusive. https://endtodv.org/coalitions/davia/
