Cathy Young's piece gives cautious hope that the tide may be turning in the public perception of domestic violence.
It has long been known that the feminist's malicious cover-up of the truth about family conflict is an ideologically motivated fraud designed to demonize men.
It has also long been known that the prevailing "Duluth Model" of batterer's treatment is a pathological, ineffective, and abusive "shame-and-blame" anti-male abomination.
While I'm heartened to see more evidence of balance and reason in the public discourse about DV, I have no illusions about the resistance to reform that will be mustered by the feminist regime that currently controls the lucrative Domestic Violence Industry.
They will not yield their power and profits without a fight, and their resources (our tax-dollars) are formidable.
Get ready for combat that will be a marathon... not a sprint!

Very perceptive, Dr. D.!
But then, we shant ever hold the "victim gender" accountable, shall we?
The dark side of chivalry again?

Having been through the "DV machinery" and forced to admit guilt where there was none, any change is a change for the better.
real abuse should be punished (i.e. evidence) with incarceration.
"She said" evidence has to get thrown out.
This is the problem.

--I am furious and outraged that this sort of thing happens, I can only say that I have not been there, but I care anyway. I am just blown away by the number of times people have either assumed that my commitment to these issues stems from a personal involvement or wonder out loud why I bother since I haven't been hurt by it (yet). Such callous disregard for the victims of a court system run amok leaves me speechless (all evidence to the contrary ;) --
I hear the same thing when I bring up abused men--people ask if I was abused. (Sometimes, it's sympathetically, I'd like to point out, but sometimes it's almost sarcastically: "So, bg, who abused you? It's obvious, since you care so much..."

Amen to DD and BG. I too am a man who has not been personally screwed by the DV industry but I am furious that it is allowed to rape innocent men. Our numbers are growing. Spread the word.

You guys got it right. And I'm outraged when rags like Newseek run a dumb-ass cover story about some alleged male conspiracy to downplay female characters in the Bible, but never, ever say anything about the gross fraud called the domestic violence industry that is currently ruining many men and women's lives.
Time to be a man and show some real leadership (No, m'am, I wasn't physically abused by a women. Can you image that I just care about gross social injustice?)

As another forced to admit guilt, I find it horribly fascinating that while my ex is in jail, stemming from two (known) assaults since our separation, I myself am being denied the chance to volunteer tutoring at-risk teens for the GED because of my DV record. I AM an abuser in the eyes of the law.
And I seriously doubt it will go away when it is supposed to, either. (i.e. be REALLY expunged from my record after my probation is complete). I hear too many stories about how DV, unlike other crimes, follows you around.

This is a good point. And cautious is always called for. I believe in Linda Mills though. I've seen radical feminists attack her at a DV conference when all she did was tell the truth. This helped her see what she would have to face if she wanted to side with the truth, but she's sticking with it, it appears.

My hats off to Cathy Young for having the courage to speak the truth about domestic violence in, of all places, Massachusets.
Righteous Blessing to You Cathy,
Sincerely, Ray
