Gender Bias in Domestic Violence Treatment
FOXNews.com – Views – ifeminists – Gender Bias in Domestic Violence Treatment
One of Wendy Mac’s better columns. And sounds a lot like the old Wendy Mac.
Yeah, the hypocrisy of feminists is appalling, but unsuprising.
And interesting and timely point from her article:
Some female domestic violence victims have been so brutalized by the men in their lives that a mere male presence may well terrify them. For that category of domestic violence victim, a women-only shelter may be the most compassionate and effective option.
(Men-only shelters for similarly devastated male victims would be equally valid.)
Hmm. I wonder if that would apply to men who have been legally brutalized at the hands of women, such as we see a lot of in the Men’s movement, and who have no shelter, support, programs, or counselling and must work things out on their own as best they can? One would hope so.
Or this:
I’m the sort of domestic violence victim who needed exposure to non-abusive men, not isolation from all male presence, in order to heal. I needed to realize that decent caring men still existed and that I could interact with them in a positive way. In other words, a specific man was my problem; men as a whole were part of the solution.
Except that many men who have beenground up and spit out by the inarguably biased and hostile Family Court system usually wind up isolated and treated as pariahs, as their friend’s wives tend to take “her” side.
And one might also hope that several other women writers who complain how angry and bitter the men in the Men’s Movement are might reflect on it, as well, that we have all manner of support for women, but none of the former and precious little of the latter for men.
Gee. Wonder how we wind up with all these angry and resentful men who would sooner convert to homosexual necrophelia that get involved in a relationship again?
