Notes:	Responds to Geoff Watson’s critique of the Keys Young Report (‘Ending domestic violence?: programs for perpetrators’) on the theory and treatment of domestic violence in Australia, arguing, in agreement with Watson, that the singular category of gender inequality is inadequate when attempting to account for the diversity of women’s experiences and the complexity of elements which can interact to exacerbate or calm a violent relationship. Suggests there is a need for a multiplicity of viewpoints and models of practice that are not only comprehensive, but empirically justifiable, if feminism is to avoid trapping itself in its own discipline.
