Men's Issues Presenters Encounter Hope and Biases At International Conference

"Sunday and Monday of this week I attended the annual, International Conference on Violence, Abuse and Trauma in San Diego, California."

"The morning went well, with an openness displayed by attendees that was reminiscent of our experiences from the day before. No one was overtly challenging our call to address the issue of domestic violence against men, and children. By late morning to early afternoon our booth was fully staffed and ready to meet the throng of conference attendees who had been in workshops for most of the morning."

"While the news from this conference can certainly be viewed in part as encouraging, the sad fact remains that huge segments of the domestic violence industry are still steeped in bigoted, man-hating, anti-patriarchy ideology."
