Jerry Schaefer of Long Beach, CA didn’t like my recent co-authored column “CA Legislators Vote to Protect Pets from Domestic Violence but Deny Services to Male DV Victims†(Long Beach Press-Telegram, 4/21/07), which opposes a law recently passed by the California Senate Judiciary Committee. He recently wrote a letter to the Press-Telegram–published, remarkably–apparently cheering women who abuse men. The letter is:
“Mike McCormick and Glenn Sacks are worried that men are getting the short end, that all the focus is on men battering women, while women are pulverizing men. And the poor guys have nowhere to go. There are only two facilities in the whole state that accept male victims.
“What they’re afraid to say is that men are up against the ropes. Women are finally figuring out their silly little games, realizing how weak-kneed they really are and putting them in their place. Men cannot stand women standing up for themselves. They’d rather women knew their place, like they do in Taliban country.
