Male-Friendly DV Conference in Portsmouth, NH this October

Domestic Violence The third annual national conference on domestic violence will be held on October 18 in Portsmouth, NH. The event is co-sponsored by the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and the Violence Intervention Program (NH's S.A.F.E. chapter). It is one of the only DV conferences I'm aware of that specifically focuses on male victims, and I have attended it since these annual conferences began. This year they have a very ambitious program with four separate workshop session tracks - check out the list of speakers at the DAHM web site, and register before Oct. 3 for a discount!

Mike Ditka speaking out about men's health issues | Is this a parody? I have trouble telling.  >

With so much false information and abuse against men prevalent in the feminazi dominated domestic violence movement I would not believe the veracity of any information presented showing women as victims (and I'm sure there are some). The violence against women act and all of its subsequent work constitutes the biggest scam in the history of america.

Men are not only victims of domestic violence, they are doubly victims in that they are almost always victimized again by the hateful prejudice of those cons working to promote the false accusations of female domestic violence con artists.

Speaking of cons and scams in the burgeoning domestic violence Industry, there needs to be a nationwide exposure of the corrupt and discriminatory "batterer's treatment" system.

Most states mandate (for male offenders only, of course)a gender feminist approach based on the discredited Duluth Model, which views all DV as an evil of the insidious "patriarchy" that socializes men to believe in "power and control" over women.

"Men bad, women good. Men oppressors, women victims."

Never mind that these six to twelve month long programs dubbed "psycho-dynamic education" have no discernable benefits for anyone... batterers, victims, children, families.

There is not a single credible scholarly study showing effective outcomes for this feminist voodoo science of so-called treatment for DV offenders.

(Anyway, it's really about indoctrination and punishment, not education. The "shame and blame" tactics practiced by DV treatment counselors are not unlike those of religious cults or fascist regimes that seek to "reform" the incorrect thinking of their captive subjects...)
 
Of course, these court-imposed "treatment" programs certainly do enrich their feminist counselors, who enjoy a lucrative profit from their state-sanctioned license to abuse men.

The system may be broke, but indeed it is working for someone...

The DV scam is essential to maintaining radical feminism's demonization of men, the "victim power" of women, and the continuing assaults on men's legal rights.

How this for a blunt to the point T-shirt to be worn in public.

KISS MY PATRIARCHY

The Bible does say to honor your Father and Mother in the 10 commandments so I would just assume this is someone honoring and respecting his Father. Considering how hard the feminsts work to discredit Fathers, I for one think this is badly needed and would love to wear this T-shirt anywear.

Of course there are always those who would take offense, and no doubt some might even see sexual innuendo in this.

Interestingly, this conference in NH even includes a talk on this: "Gender Bias in Batterers Intervention Programs" by Sarah Walton, J.D, Asst. Prof. of Criminal Justice at the University of Maine, Augusta.

I'm impressed. Scott are you involved directly in this conference?

there is exceedingly little chance I can go, as Oct. 18th not only holds three classes, but likely as not is a test day for at least one subject. Bah, I would've liked to go, it's not THAT far away from me. If only it was the 20th or something.
