"The same statistics reveal that violence perpetrated by females, in general, has been on the rise."

The above statement is true in California, and it's also true that this is taking placing during a Draconian hate war against men. California has over 30 women’s commissions and none for men. California has many women’s studies programs on their college campuses and none for men. Both CA women’s commission and CA women’s studies programs drip with a bias and hatred of men that is mind boggling.

Now see the California Attorney General’s report on arrests for domestic violence in the 10 year time period from 1988 to 1998, go to Table 2.

click here

In the 10 year period from 1988 to 1998 there was a 373% increase in the number of arrests of women for domestic violence. That is why they passed the dominant aggressor clause (used to be primary aggressor) now with mandatory arrest policies (a real boon for the d.v. frauds) all a woman has to do is say she's afraid, and guy, due to his bigger size, will get arrested. What a scam!

By the way if you adjust for the increase in population in CA in those 10 years it is still, over a 340% increase in the arrests of women for domestic violence. If you extrapolate out that would be a 20% arrest rate now, given the steady year by year rise. Does 1 dollar out of every 5 VAWA dollars go to help men? Did I mention that domestic violence law is the biggest scam in America today?

P.S. We've been buying and giving these books away to the d.v. industry, but they are pig headedly ignorant and really don't want to know or change in my experience. It would hurt the scamming of men now so prevelant in the d.v. industry.

"In his most startling chapters, James makes a forceful but controversial assertion that domestic violence against men, rather than racial crimes, are the most under-reported crimes,"

The domestic violence industry is always talking about what a terrible thing domestic violence is. Now imagine what it's like, if you can, to be battered onto crutches then falsely accused of d.v. Is there anything lower than the mainstream, radical feminst domestic violence industry in America today?

"James demonstrates systemic bias by some lawyers, police and judges toward men based on the assumption that they are more violent. Assumptions that have been uncritically accepted by many in the legal system include the belief that women are rarely violent, except in self-defense situations"

Police and judges are trained to be biased by biased domestic violence industry programs. How can anyone in America today be running a "quota system" to arrest people based on gender and not facts - as per an interview in a Glenn Sacks aritcle? Go to 7th paragraph.

"Part of the problem is the training that police officers receive from the domestic violence industry, which insists that 95% of domestic violence is committed by men. Southern California domestic violence consultant Anne O'Dell, who has conducted over 500 domestic violence trainings of police officers and commanders, judges, district attorneys, and victim advocates, tells her trainees that "if a police officer is arresting more than 8% women, you've got a real problem. When an officer arrests 12% or 15% women, I'm outraged." O'Dell says that dual arrests should occur in no more than 3% of incidents."

"As an example, James cites studies that ask women to report if they have ever been abused according to an extremely generous definition of abuse, then assumes that all instances of abuse reported has been, naturally, perpetrated by their male domestic partners."

Here's an interesting little book, "Naming the Violence" edited by Kerry Lobel, et. al. ...and an interesting little quote from an online review by Publisher's Weekly at Amazon.com,

"Sponsored by the Lesbian Task Force of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, this book is "by and for battered lesbians and those who work to support their empowerment." Contributors note that the topic is especiallydifficult for lesbians because, as Barbara Hart, an activist lawyer, states in the preface, lesbian battering "contradicts our belief in the inherent nonviolence of women," and publicity about it "may enhance the arsenal of homophobes." " - added emphasis in bold is mine

The slow way all of this coming out, a piece at a time, just underscores the major bigotry at work in the domestic violence industry from its inception. ...and why shouldn't it be as bigoted as anything coming out of any other hate group, considering the support the domestic violence industry has received from women's studies programs on college campuses, and women's commission, acting beyond their authority in government.

Inherent nonviolence of women?!?!

Where does this crap come from?

It is not part of my belief system! I have known for some time that women and the maggot like sycophantic males that support them are just as violent as anyone else!

"Where does this crap come from?"

It comes from women's studies on our college campuses. i.e. "all wars are caused by men," "men commit the vast majority of crimes." All that stated as gospel truth with no qualifiers to the oppression or societally constructed roles that men are forced to bear. The funny thing (funny crazy, not funny ha, ha) is that women's studies teaches social construction, then makes an exception for males who according to them are prone to violence by their natures.

"Hard-core feminists who view all women as incapable of violence and all men automatically guilty because of their gender and domestic violence advocates who who don’t care about "the facts" will surely attack this book on emotional grounds, but they will have trouble logically refuting the author’s impressive grasp of the research literature, including some of its glaring flaws (as cited above)."

In Daphne Patai's book called Professing Feminism she talks about the different ways that men and women "know," according to women's studies. "Separate knowing" employing "logic" is a tool of oppression, historicaly employed by the evil partriarchy to keep women oppressed. "Connected knowing" on the other hand is a methodology involving group support, feelings, etc. and is seen as more valid. - believe it or not

Patai does a more detailed and far better job of explaing it all, than I have done, begining on Page 164. If you've been in discussions with domestic violence advocates with women's studies backgrounds, and thought you had just step into the twilight zone, then you should at least read this segment of Patai's wonderful book to reaffirm your sanity.

In going to Amazon I see there are only two reviews for this outstanding book so I need to write a review, just as soon as I finish the last 100 or so pages.

I just checked and I only have 9 copies of "The Twelve Things You Didn't Know About Domestic Violence" in a stack in my bedroom. A friend in San Diego told me that a friend of his bought 50 copies.

We give them to couselors and other people who have connections in any way to the d.v. industry. I concentrate on churches as the d.v. advocates like to go there and work the easy Christian marks they find there with their d.v. deceptions.

The startling rise in female domestic violence and arrests is causing a ripple of concern in the feminist-controlled Domestic Violence Industry.

Several states have now developed "Batterer's Treatment Protocols" for female perpetrators. These protocols greatly influence how DV is defined, how the police and courts respond to offenders, and what is mandated in the "treatment" of those convicted of DV offenses.

Interestingly, the female protocols mandate "special" psychological screening and diagnosis to make sure that women arrested for DV are not "actually" victims.

The female protocols also use non gender-biased language to describe domestic violence,quite unlike the male protocols that define DV as "male-on-female" aggression.

So even though the crime statistics are now revealing what respected academic studies have shown for twenty years -- i.e. gender parity in committing violence against an intimate partner -- the state's feminist DV bureacracies are working hard to once again spin the truth, and ensure special "victim services" for female batterers.

Shocking, eh?
