Billions for battered women, not a penny for battered men

Ray writes " VAWA Reauthorization: Billions for battered women, not a penny for battered men!

Mark Rosenthal writes: "Even after receiving $5.1 billion under the past two VAWA bills, battered women's advocates still argue that there's too little money, and therefore the government should allocate no funding whatsoever for organizations whose primary purpose is to help the 835,000 men the U.S. Dept. of Justice estimates are assaulted by their partner annually.7 Yet somehow there's enough money in the current $4.2 billion VAWA reauthorization bill to make special provisions for an estimated 32,600 Native Americans,8 but of course, only if those Native Americans are female. No males need apply."
