We will never know.
The abuser (male or female) won't admit it and the victim isn't talking either.
That is true because dv is usually of a physical nature, I wonder how many spouses are driven to suicide by mental abuse?
Well that was said a few days ago, now look what has happened, technology don't you love it.We seem to be moving into a very vague law system, where the onus is becoming proving innocence as opposed to proving guilt, which isn't a problem as long as it isn't you that are the brunt of the accusation.
I heard today that the young lady who is Australian of the year, has called for the State and Federal Government to define what is consent, I personally think that will be self resolving, if I was a young bloke I would be asking for a signed agreement before taking anyone to bed.
Interesting SP. The holes and challenges of the consent app just scream out. As Mick Fuller said just consider it (before ditching it..)
This analysis just makes a start of how challenging/dangerous such an app would be
NSW police commissioner admits his sex consent app proposal 'could be a terrible idea'
Mick Fuller says there is ‘a range of things’ he’d love to come out of a conversation about consent ‘and the app is not necessarily one of them’www.theguardian.com
The main thing is people are thinking about it, which is the the main thing IMO, there has to be a way whereby the truth is obvious.This view didn't think it was a good idea either..
Sexual consent app proposal might be NSW top cop's 'worst idea all year'
An app for partners to register their consent before having sex has been proposed as a way to address the growing sexual assault problem in NSW, but critics say it is "naive" and could easily be manipulated.www.abc.net.au

Not just a fleeting moment, that leads to buyers regret, or even worse jail or an unwanted child.
It is o.k people saying an app could be manipulated, but if it is secure and well thought out, there is no reason something couldn't be designed.
We have no trouble banking on an app, and people keep suggesting voting by an app, so bonking by an app shouldn't be too difficult. ?
I mean really how good is the system we currently have?
lets think about it for a minute:
Each person downloads a government app to their phone, like we did with covid.
Then each person makes up their own pin number.
Person one sends request to person two, person two has to use their pin to answer person one, if person one doesn't have the appropriate answer they are in manure.
Well that took me 30 seconds to think out while I was writing.
If the app isn't used I know I wouldn't be bonking, it is a bit like shagging when the other partner says don't worry I've taken precautions I never went for that either.I guess the problem becomes if the app is not used, does that imply consent was not given ?
Are people going to be sent to jail because they or the other party did not press a button ?
Moments of passion don't necessarily occur with a mobile device present and this could be yet another example of control of our lives by technology.
The Police Commissioner probably meant well, but it seems like a thought bubble that he hasn't worked through.

if a person out on the market can't control their passion, they really shouldn't be out on the market, that is how rape happens, not controlling the passion.
The problem is people lie. It's the lies that cause the problem.This is an analogy of consent. Simple, elegant, relatable.
And some change their mind after they've had the tea (usually once the effects of pills, cocaine and/or alcohol leave their system and shame sets in)The problem is people lie. It's the lies that cause the problem.
Why the 'nice guy' penalty disadvantages all workers
Research suggests that men are distrusted and passed over at work when they exhibit qualities stereotypically assigned to women. Fixing this would benefit all of us.www.bbc.com
One issue of relevance is that men seeking to climb the ladder, either the corporate one or socially, usually do work out that brute force is more likely to succeed than a "nice guy" approach.
Much is said to the contrary in the world we live in but in practice that's reality. Nice guys will succeed only in the absence of an aggressor - if there's one of those around then a key part of their approach is simply pushing anyone else out of the way, that's how they progress, and society at all levels is pretty well set up to enable that.
