Marchers milling about staging area with us being kind'a clickish.

Bird's eye view.
The DV Industry does not research or report the number of men driven to suicide by violent women, though the industry embraces the ideology that perpetuates such deaths, as well as other forms of violence against men. Of the event speakers only one offered sincere comments about abused men, and then only in the context of it happens to them too. The event appears to be as much if not more a celebration of feminism than a remembrance of those who lost their lives to domestic violence. Until one can separate itself from the other male victims of domestic violence will truly be those who are not just forgotten, but also never recognized as victims of female violence.
