Retired Lieutenant gives his opinion on DV

	posted by D on Tuesday April 08, @11:24AM from the Inequality dept.
	This is something I feel is at the heart of the matter for the men's movement. Since the ennactment of VAWA more innocent men have gone to jail than we can imagine. Hardline feminists are not at all interested in finding a solution to domestic violence. They are more interested in destroying the family unit and dividing men and women against eachother. This retired-lieutenant, who has seen it all first hand, gives a good essay on the subject. One that I have fought for myself and one that you should too. Read Here

Violence against WOMEN act? (Score:1) by incredibletulkas on Wednesday April 09, @10:50PM EST (#1) (User #901 Info) I'd just like to know how such a clear gender bias passes constitutional muster, since it freaking OBVIOUSLY discriminates against men by denying them equal protection.

I was in jail for 10 days (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Friday April 11, @08:43AM EST (#2) The judge put me in pre-trial incarceration because my ex (who has drinking problems) fabricated a story of abuse (with no evidence or personal harm). The DA and victim advocates tried to put me away for 2 years. I paid a fortune fighting a 'he said she said' thing with only allegation as evidence. there is something very wronf with the system. And the police were the ones that trumped up her claims as a first line offense to bury me.

Excellent Article (Score:1) by westcoast on Friday April 11, @04:15PM EST (#3) (User #1082 Info) The article was a breath of fresh air. It concluded.... Effective domestic violence training needs to acknowledge all victims and perpetrators regardless of the typology of abuse and the age and/or gender of both victims and perpetrators. If it is the intent of those who were involved with this manual to “improve strategies in the new millennium” they might better be served if they understand and acknowledge that domestic violence is an issue of concern to all of us, regardless of age or gender. Domestic violence victims and perpetrators are not limited to one specific age or gender. Throughout it gave a way of splitting off the 'Batterer' part of DV from the other types of occurance. It allowed a way in for victims other than the 'Battered Woman'. It acknowledged the horrendous nature of Battering, yet also gave reasons why this should not be the only focus of attention if DV is to be tackled properly. I think that by agreeing that Battering is Horendous yet only part of DV we have a way of helping all victims. This article was a great example of how the case for all victims can be put. It gives some hope and points out the blatant biases of organisations purporting to be against DV.
