Gender Bias No Cure for Domestic Violence
Submitted by Scott on Thu, 2001-10-25 20:24
Claude Moreau sent in this article from the Seattle Times about domestic violence. It's an excellent refutation of myths about domestic violence, and was written by a female family law/domestic violence attorney. From the article: "Many male victims are ignored or ridiculed by a system that seems to recognize only female victims. When women are the abusers, they are more often than not given a pass. Recent cases with which I have personal experience involve men who have been hit, punched, gouged, choked and threatened with weapons by their spouses. Despite reports to police, none of the women were charged with crimes."
