New DV Center To Open In Nashville; Serves Both Sexes

	posted by Nightmist on Wednesday January 23, @03:17PM from the domestic-violence dept.
	This story in the Nashville Scene reports on the opening of the Mary Parrish Center for Victims of Domestic and Sexual Violence, coming Feb. 14. According to the article, victims of abuse face more bureaucratic red tape than assistance in Nashville, and this center hopes to change that. The author alludes that the center assists both women and men. A woman--or man, for that matter--who finally musters the courage to seek protection from their abuser is always in for a rude awakening when she or he encounters the city's Byzantine bureaucracy. But the new center's opening is expected to mitigate such procedural red tape for Nashville victims, many of whom face life or death situations.

Going to watch this one... (Score:1) by Adam on Wednesday January 23, @06:01PM EST (#1) (User #178 Info) I just have to see it happen, and actually see men try to get checked into it without being chased off by a bunch of feminists....

They *say* this is required by law. I had an e-mail exchange with a lady the other day who was, with good intentions, promoting her DV website and her local shelter(s) I told her to get a man to check the validity of the 'men's services,' and guess what! No men's services, beyond brainwashing/anger management. T____

Any man who was really abused (and isn't lying about it, like you dogs) and can't bring himself to admit it in front of women who are there because they want to help, has more issues than being assaulted. Face it, boys. Men are NOT intimidated by women the way women are intimidated by men, however much you want to believe this to support your victimhood fantasies.

Men are NOT intimidated by women :the way women are intimidated by men, Men don't need to act exactly like women in order to be entitled to be free from physical violence. Shelters are funded by everyone's taxes, not by feminist organizations, therefore feminists don't get to force us to use female-centric criteria for victims of domestic violence. :however much you want to believe this to support :your victimhood fantasies. Face it, bitter girl. Women are NOT afraid of losing their children they way men are, however much you want to believe this to support your only-females-are-victims fantasies.
