Divorce Court
posted by Thomas on 12:40 PM February 11th, 2004
Divorce I've got to share this. Any man who is contemplating marriage should watch "Divorce Court" on TV. I just had to sit through a show for some research that I'm doing, and it was an eye opener.

The divorcing man accused his wife of domestic violence. When the judge asked the woman if it was true, the woman gave a snide smile and a little nod, which the judge took to mean "yes." When the judge told the woman that her actions were against the law, the woman kept saying, "He ain't gonna call (the police). He ain't gonna call." The judge lectured her about how she could go to jail for domestic violence but did nothing. (Would the judge have had the husband taken off to jail if he had admitted to beating his wife?)

In fact, the woman admitted to threatening on several occasions to call the police on her husband, when she was angry at him for (one example) using dishwashing liquid to wash the clothes. When the judge asked the woman what she would have told the police if she had called them, if she would have lied to the police, the woman just smirked. It was clear that she could have made a false accusation against her husband, who always left when she ordered him to. One time he had just stepped out of the shower, was wearing nothing but a towel, and had to cross town to go to a friend's house in the cold.

The kicker was at the end when the judge ruled on the settlement, gave everything but one car to the woman, and said to the woman (I swear this is true) "There's such a thing as equality, and you're getting most of it."

My god! I'm gonna have to remember that one.

I guess if a man is madly in love and has a desperate need to have kids, he'll want to get married, but men need to wake up and realize something. If a man is ever alone with a woman and doesn't record every moment, under the law he becomes that woman's slave. She may or may not do it, but she knows she can beat him with near assurance of impunity and destroy him in a moment with a false accusation.

This sorry TV episode of "Divorce Court" accurately shows the legal tyranny all men face.

In most states, maleness has already been criminalized.

Arriving in court for a DV false allegation, a divorce dispute, or a custody fight, the man is "presumed guilty" not innocent.

Every woman knows she can make one phone call and have her husband or boyfriend cuffed, jailed, exiled from his home (automatically granted Order of Protection), prevented from seeing his children, and legally ordered to surrender his assets and property to the "victim."

"Battery" no longer requires physical contact.

"Marital rape" can be alleged 30 days after any intimate encounter.

"Abuse" is anything that denies a female 24 x 7 satisfaction.

Not all women do these things... just as not all men abuse and objectify women. Maybe the real problem is this rape culture we live in where is is ok to sexualize children and treat women as objects. I'm not saying that women are the only ones being treated unfairly- men are seen as the providers and protectors- and I can see how that is threatening if women can take care of themselves but if you look at the statistics (real ones...) you will see that men are harming more women than vice versa. Our culture and upbringing has intergrated sexism and gender roles into each of us. The problem is that men AND women get sucked into these roles. This is harmful to everyone. Men- You don't have to be violent, sport watching, beer drinking jerks. Women- you don't have to be a size 2 and put everyone first, you don't have to use your body to excel in everyday life, you don't have to be a bitch to get ahead or be a bimbo/idiot. People need to realize that they are hindered by these roles placed upon them by society.

Let me help you out here, 'cause you seem confused. And I understand why: you're a womyn's studies student aren't ya?

Ok, first off the things you list as women doing wrong are all "patriarchy" created. And therefore, ahem, not your fault. But, not to generalize, and I'm not sure you'll read this, but your nonsense deserves a reply. Let me break it down for you:

"just as not all men abuse and objectify women. Maybe the real problem is this rape culture we live in where is is ok to sexualize children and treat women as objects."

Lady, get a grip. I went into women's (and even womyn's) dorm rooms and saw hunky, skantily clad men on WOMEN's walls. And I've see the reverse. But it's ONLY men's sexuality that is somehow almost criminalized. Oh, and let's shatter your myth: do you see LESBIAN erotica and stories and such as "OBJECTIFYING"? Amd O notice the "sexualizing of children" happens when women molest boys ... but gee, almost no "women's studies" "professor" REALLY touches on that. And let's not forget LESBIAN molestors ... geeeee, not much press coverage there either cupcake.

Next piece of MSinformation

"I'm not saying that women are the only ones being treated unfairly- men are seen as the providers and protectors- and I can see how that is threatening if women can take care of themselves but if you look at the statistics (real ones...) you will see that men are harming more women than vice versa. "

Once again, it's "poor men can't handle strong women" LOLOLOLOLOLOL .... ummm, get over it. Ever watch TV? The movies? Seems our culture (oh, and that includes men too, case you forgot) is PAYING MONEY to see strong women in positions of authority. Not for that in and of itself, but as an accepted part of the plot. And since commerce dollars are CONSUMER driven ... guess what .. the public wants it. NOW, onto the "men are harming more women" ... according to WHO? The VAWA statistics? Let me clue you in to how this MSinformation works. They don't REPORT the men that are hurt. You don't know shit about how the DV system in this country works. That lesson would take about 3 pages. According to NON Advocacy studies, women engage in, initiate, and participate in AT LEAST 40% of DV (if not higher). Get a clue and stop being spoonfed advocacy stats ... everyone over the age of 25 knows what I'm talking about, maybe you just need to open you eyes.

And your list of women's faults ... wow what a surprise here. All "patriarchy" constructed, albeit with some vague reference to "be a bitch". Nice. Why don't you list some REAL issues women do to men, instead of that softball, warm and fuzzy crap.

Stop paying for an "education" (read: indoctrination) that only qualifies you to flip burgers.

Besides MRAs no one knows how bad it is until it's too late. And a show like this shows 2 things:
1) How arrogant and unfair the judges are towards men. And how the smirking woman had NO FEAR of making a false report.
2) How men are REALLY being treated in divorce court, as it happens, in case after case, on TV. I am REALLY surprised that the feminists didn't fight this hard hard hard to make sure their dirty little gulag courts were not covered up.

The presiding judge of Fox TV's "Divorce Court" actually wrote a letter of support for NCFM and addressed paternity fraud and other issues, and she testified in favor of our paternity fraud bill. Her letter is at
www.ncfmla.org/pdfdocs/commissionletters/judgemabe lean.pdf

Am I confusing the wrong show? If it was judge Mablean then that's a little odd. There's always the faint possibility she was trying to let the public know about the unfairness men face, or perhaps she's just inconsistent or she's with us only on certain subjects.

The judge made a show of lecturing the woman about the fact that she might get hit back and be injured and that her actions were against the law, but when it came down to doing anything about the woman's domestic abuse, she let it go at a lecture.

Of course feminists want an equal amount of equality for everyone. They want women to give up female duty but retain female privilege. And to ensure equality for men, they want men to give up male privilege and retain male duty. In this way everyone has a fair share of equality. The trouble with us men is that our excessively logical minds makes it difficult for us to grasp these concepts.

If you're saying that I'm a feminist troll, you couldn't be further from the truth. I'm all man and quite anti-feminist. Maybe not as rabid about it as some on this board, but I assure you I've had it up to the gills with the anti-man shit that comes down the pike.

Perhaps I didn't express myself as well as I could have. Or perhaps you didn't read what I said as well as you could have. Or perhaps a combination of the two. So let's review...

"You know, there could be another way to read that statement. And it would, in fact, be somewhat Orwellian as well. Remember the line in Animal Farm "All animals are equal. But some are more equal than others.

"The judge could be saying there is such a thing as equality and you're getting most of said equality."
 
-- Did you read Animal Farm? What I meant here is to make an analogy something like "All people are equal, but some (i.e. women)are more equal than others." The book is a critical analysis of the Russian revolution told through an uprising on a farm where the animals take over. The line was originally written into the bylaws as simply "All animals are equal." But as the communist party (as represented by the pigs)assumed more centralized control over the people (the other animals), the bylaws were rewritten to say "All animals are equal. But some are more equal then others." It's a very powerful line in a very powerful book. It is, in fact, the way the book ends.

I attemped to extend this to the feminist movement as a whole. They started out, I believe honestly, with the notion of equality for all. This was back when the movement was known as "womem's liberation". Many men, myself included were onboard and thought it was a noble cause. But somewhere along the way, women's liberation morphed into feminism. And suddenly some people were more equal than others. Now we're realizing that it's not about equality at all and are starting to revolt against it. This web site, and you and I are all a part of the backlash.

"Based on other things the judge said to the woman it would not be too much of a stretch that her hands were tied by the divorce laws to award the woman most of the material wealth and was letting her know that she didn't really deserve it."

--- What I meant here, based on things the original poster said the judge said - I didn't see the show so I can only rely on descriptions related in the thread... Maybe, just maybe, the judge sees the injustice in the divorce laws and was letting the woman, and the viewing audience, know that the woman didn't deserve what she received in the settlement. But because the laws are written the way they are, the judge had no lattitude in the matter.

That is what I meant by what I originally wrote. I'm sorry if you didn't understand it that way. It is my fear that the Men's movement will end up simply mirroring the worst aspects of feminism. Having a huge chip on our shoulders and looking to be offended where no offense is intended is one way it can happen.

With regard to my grammar, typing, mind and logic, well... Who put the fucking bee in your bonnet?
