Story here. Excerpt:

'Onondaga Nation Territory -- Onondaga Nation men marched to the Onondaga Nation School this morning to take a stand against domestic violence and child abuse.

The goal of the walk was to show the children of the Onondaga Nation that these men will not commit, condone or stay silent about abuse against women or children.

"We want the children to know that they can trust these men and that they will listen and believe them," said Nicky Calf Robe, the leader of the Onondaga Nation Alliance to End Abuse.'

What's missing is the women involved doing the sane thing. The presumption is that women/mothers either don't or won't abuse their kids (or husbands, for that matter). But as MRAs and the NIH know, that's not true. The pledge to report child abuse is great, too, but again, the women need to be signing as well.

If adults feel the need to make public demonstrations of support for such a cause to the point of signing pledges, fine. But how comprehensive an act can it be when statistically speaking, most of the offenders are not only not invited to sign the pledge, but worse yet, few think they need to?
