Key thing: I ran the search, and the second result is the abuse hotline. And the first result also references the hotline in the preamble, but goes on to provide advise geared towards a communication based relationship problem.
They’re not choosing to deny the information to men, they’re highlighting information that has in the past proven most useful to people with queries like this.
Since there are different rates of domestic violence for different groups, different queries will have different “most helpful” results. As long as that’s the case, you’ll be able to find some query that’s on the threshold.
And yet do you really think “why is my husband yelling at me” is more likely an abuse issue than a communications issue? One of the problem ms here is even accepting the different rates of abuse, why is it effectively jumping right to yelling implies abuse? I doubt that statistics would back that up.
Yelling, in this context, is abuse. Full stop. But Google “understands” abuse as physical, and considering that:
Emotional abuse can and often does escalate, and
The power dynamic alone gives men an overwhelming ability to escalate to physical abuse.
In the black and white world of math, that message is more relevant to women than men.
We have got to stop treating faceless corporations and their algorithms as people. They are not people. We have to treat google like an unemotional robot, because at the end of the day that’s exactly what it is.
Look at the divisiveness here… This is rage, not progress.
