Tom Chandel,
Perhaps the quote is important because it reveals the domestic violence crowd's gender bias when it comes to those cases, rather than mine or that of my editor.
I disagree. You choose which quotes to include, and your editor reviews those. Such a slanted quote could have been softened with a paragraph referencing the Dugas case, or better, left out entirely. Merely putting quotation marks around and attributing it to someone else does NOT relieve you of an ethical obligation report the story clearly and truthfully.
I would suggest referencing the quote as evidence of your claim that the domestic violence crowd is silent about acts of hostility towards men in a letter to the editor.
Thank you for your suggestion and I will consider it in the context it is offered.
I would suggest to you that you exercise more care and show at least a small degree of care and sophistication when writing and submitting stories.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,
Tom C.

So, you are suggesting media outlets cover up instances of apparent, or alleged, gender bias?
