His Side Commemorates DV Awareness Month
posted by Hombre on Monday October 06, @07:17PM
from the His-Side dept.
Interviews October is DV Awareness Month, the month when the men of America have to endure listening to feminists and their endless array of media lackeys pretend that domestic violence is only committed by men. Glenn discussed the anti-male myths guiding current DV policies with domestic violence experts Phil Cook and Jan Brown on His Side with Glenn Sacks on Sunday, October 5. Cook is the author of Abused Men: The Hidden Side of Domestic Violence. Brown is the founder and executive director of the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men. To listen to the show, go to His Side Archive http://hisside.com/show_archive.htm>.

More Attention to DV "Treatment" Fascism Needed (Score:1)

Glenn's show was excellent (listen to the audio stream on the HisSide website); however, an aspect of the DV Injustice Industry that was not much discussed is the so-called DV "batterer's treatment" programs that have become a vicious assault on men.

These "psychodynamic educational" programs to which men convicted (or falsely accused) of DV misdemeanors are court-mandated to attend for six to twelve months at considerable personal expense(loss of income for children and families) have become a veritable Gulag of psychological abuse inflicted upon men by the radical feminist "counselors" profiting from a steady stream of male victims.

The "curriculum" of these state-sanctioned indoctrination camps is based on the 70's "Duluth Model" of radical gender feminism which attributes all domestic violence to the evil "patriarchy" and forbids discussion of known social science factors that contribute to DV -- family dynamics, childhood experience of abuse, addictions, personality disorders, mutual partner aggression, etc.

The ONLY permissable explanation for DV is "male privilege" and the supposed socialization of men to feel entitled to exert "power and control" over women.

The typical DV batterer's treatment regime requires false confessions of guilt, forced "sharing" of personal and private experiences, "victim empathy" sessions where men are confronted by hysterical wounded female DV "survivors," and routine coercion using psychologically and emotionally abusive tactics.

DV "treatment" as it is practiced today has become a feminist Gulag for men, not too dissimilar from the mind control terrorism developed by fascist and cultist organizations throughout history.

There is no credible social science research that has shown any evidence of benefit from this kind of treatment in reducing DV. Quite the contrary, it is widely acknowledged to be ineffectual at best, indeed often harmful.

The coordinated axis of male subjugation in our toxic legal system is merely this: family court fascism + DV gestapo system + child support gendarmes.

When men weary of this sexist, discriminatory system, become resistant to legal captivity, and see that the way forward will require concerted political focus and action... perhaps, just perhaps, the DV nazis will get their just deserts.

Every day that the domestic violence "industry" denies male victimization (my victimization) I am revictimized by their omission. I call it an industry, because it is all about money for women but not a penny for men's victimization.

I was brutally battered, repeatedly, at the hands of my ex-wife. The domestic violence industry shielded this batterer, when they should have prosecuted and imprisoned her. The domestic violence industry, thereby is the primary aggressor of all primary aggressors. They discriminate against men based on gender, and thereby are hate criminals in the truest sense of the words.

I wear these T-shirts in public with a sense of pride and purpose:

FEMINIST LIES
MAKE BAD LAWS

TELL THE

"STOP

IF YOU
SHELTER
A BATTERING

YOU ARE

SHAME
ON THE

EQUAL JUSTICE

The dishonesty and abuse that is rampant in the feminist led domestic violence movement is a monument to the lowest and vilest of human behavior.

All the evil that the domestic violence movement has done will one day be rewarded - in hell.

Ray,
      Great T-shirts man. Just freaking outstanding. I gotta add this though: I would LOVE to wear one if I was mandated to go to a DV course if I was falsely accused. Oh, that reminds me.... can I tell you a FUNNY off topic story? Hope you don't mind, but if you are visually oriented like me .. its gonna roll ya.

It all started in college. I had a college roomate. He started college late, like 29 years old. Little preface on him so you can picture this. It's important. Anyways Chris was a black dude. Big, muscular, was a laborer all his life, wore the muscle shirts, skull and cross bones "do-rags", Terminator sun glasses, and generally looked like he would rip you head off. Totally not the case. Total softy. I mean I was his roomate (we were both older and picked each other after his frosh year). Anyways, you got the picture so far right. This dude was so non-PC it makes you head spin. I think he got away with it from his being black. Hey, before anyone gets "sensitive" I AINT racist. I envied his being able to say shit I thought. He would chew Copenhagen in class, say what he said, and generally "muss the hair" (by what he said mind you) of any bleeding heart liberal who spoke up in class. I say all this to preface what happened. One day I am on the computer playing a game and he tells me he is going to class. He is behind me and I wave dismively and say "later" and glance at him to say bye bye. MY EYES POPPED OUT OF MY SKULL. He had on a T-shirt. In neon-green letters 3 inches high it said:

I FUCK CHICKS IN THE ASS

I swiveled around in shock. "DUDE!!! ... uhhh, you're not WEARING that around CAMPUS ... are you!?!?!"
Chris: "yeah, why not"
Steven: "Are you on Crack!? Dude, you'll get arrested after 100 meters. Dude, its PC days out there." (it was 1994)
Chris: "Dude, it says I have anal sex with a chick. Not that I rape em. Lots of chicks think its cool. Chill.. it's all good"

To make a long story short (too late) me and my 4 other apartment mates convined him to NOT wear this shirt. He was seriously pissed, didn't understand, and thought we were fools.

As a counter point to that. Remember William Kennedy Smith? The chick who falsely accused HIM of rape had on a T-shirt the night she filed false charges against him. Know what it said?

I AM A SEXUAL THREAT
(it was a Madonna shirt)
Makes ya think huh?

Peace

Ray,

Great t-shirt slogans! I'm gonna print a couple and wear 'em!

I have contacted NCFM in Minnesota about developing a lawsuit (here in Illinois) against our homegrown DV "treatment" fascists.

Their initial response has been positive, though their resources are thin.

The suit focus would be not unlike their California petition against the DV shelter system that discriminates against men by funding women-only services.

Nearly every state in our Feminist Union of the US has adopted a DV treatment "protocol" that enforces the Duluth Model approach and totally ignores female perpetrators.

Since the funding follows from this sexist and discriminatory legal construct, the DV "therapists" are clearly in violation of the Constituion as well as individual state laws against discriminatory funding.

If you want to have some fun, locate the phone number of your state's Bureau of Domestic Violence Prevention (or similar name ... usually housed within office of your State's Attorney General), call 'em up, and ask them to send you a copy of their DV "Protocol" document. (Hey, it's free because your tax dollars paid for this tool of feminazism.)

Then, ask them for the "Protocol" for FEMALE BATTERERS! Wait through the several seconds of shocked silence on the other end...

Then, when they tell you there is NONE, ask them how they have managed to overlook the 38% of men who are battered yearly by their FEMALE intimate partners.

Then, ask them who you can contact to protest this seriously discriminatory oversight.

You might even let on that you're involved in a nationwide effort to reform the system in favor of true equality of DV services, if you really wanna twitch their "G" (as in "Gawd, this can't be happening!")-spot!

It can be great fun being a men's advocate!

Roy:

You have an excellent posting. You bring up many interesting points, and ask good questions that need to be asked of these people.

Things are going on in CA as we speak, but things are moving very slowly. Any progress for men will be a hard struggle against the entrenched positions and propoganda of the established domestic violence movement.

I often wish that the activists I chat with on this web site were closer and that we could all show up in one place en masse with our combined resources and make a super showing. Most of us have taken hard financial hits, and thereby that is very difficult for us.

It is great to network and make allies, but it seems that there are many small groups spread out across America, and few if any big ones.

Numbers are vital to the success of the men's movement, huge numbers, en masse. The interesting thing is that slowly we are seeing progress and slowly more men are becoming aware. In time, I'm confident that enough concerned and dedicated men will close ranks so as to be able to confront the many maladies (like domestic violence inequities) that commonly affect us. Perhaps then society and politicians will be forced to address the men's issues they are refusing to look at now.
