only way to be innocent of abuse? keep 100 yards (Score:1) by zenpriest on Monday January 19, @02:04PM EST (#1) (User #1286 Info) distance between you and them. I feel for the dads caught in this insanity, I really do. And, I will support them every way I can, up to putting my own neck in the same noose that theirs is in. I will consider the "marriage movement" people to have become serious about their subject, when THEY begin to fight idiocy like this - not before!

too late, courts already presume guilt (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Tuesday January 20, @03:54AM EST (#2) All I can say is that I came to men's rights because I was falsely accused of domestic violence to gain upper hand in a breakup. The courts do presume guilt already. The courts in my state (MA) have feminist "DV advocates" sharing office space with the DA's. This organization pushing to remove the presumption of innocence is completely out of touch with the real world. I suggest they move their fascist hate organization to Serbia.

Anyone? (Score:1) by Renegade on Wednesday January 21, @10:34AM EST (#3) (User #1334 Info) "a petition to make people accused of domestic violence prove their innocence instead of having presumed innocence" This is still an insane idea, but as long as the petition states "people" instead of "men". In our anti-male, matriarchal society I wouldn't have been surprised to see the statement read as "a petition to make *men* accused..." thereby freeing women of this injustice. R

Re:Anyone? (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Wednesday January 21, @06:28PM EST (#4) Well, the forum comments seem to make outlandish statements about father's rights groups. Something along the line of "they have all the power" and "legislatures always listen to them." So, it seemed like one could draw the conclusion that this is targeted at men (since men are likelier to be accused of DV than women).
