I am not surprised that this woman was 'shocked' to hear different stats that the politically correct ones. I am more interested in how the other members of the audience reacted. Did they ask pertinent questions?
But kudos to you for being courageous enough to challenge the agitprop of the femi-twits.
I lived in SC for almost 4 years (Charleston) and state could definitely use some shocking wakeup calls concerning men's issues.
REMEMBER,IT IS STILL PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH...SO HELP GET THE WORD OUT BECAUSE THE MEDIA ISN'T GOING TO.

Brilliant. Maybe we will have another true activist on our honour role. I feel that many of these women are actually just going by what they heard and really want to do the right thing. Those are the ones that its important to reach. Some of them have such good hearts they are really quite invaluble. You handled it well. And you may make a convert of someone in an important place. Again, Brilliant!!!

Like Dan and Luek, I'm not suprised this woman was shocked, either.
What DOES suprise me is that a woman seemed to CARE at ALL.
THAT'S what suprises me.
Thundercloud.

As I recall, the drama classes in my high school were mostly populated by girls. Not that I'm accusing this woman of synthesizing her shock and disbelief, mind you. But it is a tactic that has been used before. Notice how you calmed down when she reflected this amazement.
Wait for a follow-up before you give her too much credit.

That's a good point. As of today, Thurs., I haven't heard anything. That's not to say I won't, because I know she has a busy schedule. However, I forwarded some info to her early Tuesday morning, so I suspect she's had time to read it.

On the other hand, even if we grant for the sake of arguement that her shock was feigned, I think this still counts as a victory. Simply by acting shocked (if she was acting), rather than dismissing Napnip's facts, or accusing him of trying to justify abuse of women she conceded the possibility of the legitimacy of other perspectives on DV, and hopefully the exchange planted some questions in some of the minds of those present, even if it turns out hers was not one of them.

Good point!
Still no response from her on the data I e-mailed her. Oh well.....

On the subject of the woman being genuinely shocked by some of the things you said, I think it's too easy for us to forget that not all women are manhating feminazis. Having an interest in men's issues, we're all fairly clued up about the lies feminists have told, so there's a tendency to tar all women involved with 'women's issues' with the same brush. When we do this we're just falling into the same trap as those feminists who believe that men and women are enemies engaged in a 'gender war' against each other. There must be a lot of people who, like the woman you confronted, innocently believe feminist lies and get involved because they genuinely think they're doing the right thing. They don't have an ideological hatred of men, and are basically good people who want to do good for others. If they were in charge of the DV industry there would be shelters for men and fair treatment under the law. There wouldn't be any 'primary aggressor rule' or sub-Marxist blather about the patriarchal oppression of women. The sad thing is that if this woman starts asking awkward questions about DV against men and why nobody told her about it, she may find herself out of a job.
