Hairdressers become DV counselors

Yes, you too can become a pop psychologist! Show your certificate in cosmetology and this will qualify you to make important judgments in your clients' way of life! Do a number on more than just their hair!

They should call it, the "Send a Guy to Jail" program. Bah, humbug.

Sounds to me like the authors of this idea have been watching too much Steel Magnolias. (In spite of it's tear-jerking reputation, guys, Steel Magnolias is another in a long line of male bashing movies. The men in that film are all presented as two-dimensional, stupid, clumsy oafs who only care about their next drink or football game.)

why not make the waitresses, ticket-takers, video rental clerks, taxi drivers, and everybody else the new d.v. police also?

i don't understand why everybody i whine to about my personal life isn't empowered to arrest and prosecute anybody i don't like

even orwell couldn't have dreamed up this one

the main reason i moved from s.f. years ago was that, despite common assumptions, it's the least tolerant city in which i've ever lived -- if you're a male, that is

women sitting around being pampered by other women and gay guys -- yah, a perfect scenario for the new gender "justice"

why don't they just put us all in their man-cages now and have done with the pretense
