It does, but does that make it any better? Domestic violence is bad regardless of gender.
I’d like to think that the law was intended to get minor cases of domestic violence into counselling and intervention and keep them out of the criminal justice system for first non-serious offenders, which is one way of reading it. But then I looked at the record of the person who introduced it and I thought, no, it’s regressive in intent because she is.
