take me to the feeling
There is. Sadly it's mostly among women so no one's paying attention 
Men’s violence against women and girls is a national emergency

Police or the CPS ? or even the briefs and the judge plea bargaining ...
Police. The female who was in charge of the case, from the newly-created domestic violence unit, said they'd made the decision because they were worried they wouldn't be able to prove attempted murder sufficiently. He'd not come to the house with the knife, it was in the cutlery drawer. His solicitor said that he'd taken the knife to kill himself with, which was absolute bollocks, cos he'd been ranting and raving, literally frothing at the mouth, then went in the kitchen and I heard the drawer go. It was 5 or 6 steps from that drawer to me. Quick fucking change of mind then wasn't it? They said he would plead guilty to the lesser charge therefore 'saving' me from giving evidence. I would have happily given evidence but it was presented as a fait accompli pretty much. I was still in hospital at the time the decision was made, it wouldn't have had a chance to get to CPS by that stage.

Respect my existence or expect my resistance
I'm still angry about it myself. He totally got away with it. She only did it to get a nice easy first collar for that unit. I disagreed at the time but I was still in a bad way in hospital and she took advantage of that.

I'd already told the police that he'd actually said to me he would kill me. We had witnesses saying that he wanted to kill me, before that night.

This is a campaign that got drowned out in the paedo Huw Edwards noise yesterday. I didn’t know that men who murder women inside their homes (ie they knew the victim) got around 10 years less jail time but I’m not surprised. I hope the new government honour the commitment the last one made to changing the law.

Changing the facts
This video is doing the rounds on Facebook. It's a man interacting with TV clips on a large flat screen. He's obviously planned and rehearsed it. He hands a man on the screen a hanky and he blows his nose. He uses a cleaning rag to chase down a cartoon mouse. He gives a man an injection in his head and man rubs his head. He drops fluid into Billy Eilish's eyes and she weeps black tears.
He also pokes catwalk models in their leg and they trip as they walk. And he hits a woman in the face repeatedly as she shouts and recoils and shouts again.
It's presented as hilarious clever creative entertainment. There's no doubt that it's clever and creative. In my opinion it also demonstrates the normality of VAWG.
I stopped watching at the beating a woman bit so I don't know what follows.
He also touches a man on the back of his upper thigh in an (imo) intrusive way.
The way the man is sitting at home, watching a large screen and doing as he pleases to captive beings is almost like an installation art piece commenting on how screens encourage us
look at others as accessible and objectified.
Or maybe I'm overthinking it and it's just a clever creative funny video.
Comments are exactly what you'd expect: lots saying how great it is, some expressing concern about the violence, plenty of "oh get over yourself, don't like it don't watch" replies.
Dystopiary
putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon
It's very significant that the majority of these men were local.
I want men who say "not all men" to see this - this is one case where so many local men were participating in this atrocity.
There isn't something unusual in the water there. I guarantee they won't be "freaks" and "monsters" as other men like to reassure themselves that r**ists are.
So - men who say that, as well as others, don't be surprised when we say we don't feel safe. You can wave it away with "But I'm not like that and I don't know anyone who is." Women can't.
(Bold mine.)

They do a lot here in Wales
Now a prominent campaigner, Ms Williams said her son is the reason she fights for education around domestic violence and coercion.
"I don't want to see another family go through what we went through.
"If I can educate the next Jack's and the next Rachel's then I'm going to do that."
Ms Williams said she believes domestic abuse and violence should be treated as a "national emergency".
"I think if the public accepted them as what they are, they're domestic terrorists, we'd see it as a bigger threat to life in society."
Ms Williams said she would tell her former self, stuck in an abusive marriage, that while "the road after leaving" would be tough, there would be hope.
"Life is precious but freedom is priceless."
Violence against women remains "shockingly high", according to a new report about what it is like being a woman in Wales.
The State of the Nation report from WEN Wales warns specialist support services are facing unprecedented pressures due to increased demand and a lack of funding.
