More Truth about Male DV Victims

	posted by Thomas on 04:58 PM November 11th, 2004
	And more lies from the British government, I'm afraid. We've sure got a long way to go, with governments largely controlled by feminist hate-mongers, but at least the truth is starting to come out. The article states, "Men accounted for 34 per cent of victims last year, compared with 27 per cent the year before," but I suspect that the difference is due not only to an increase in victimization of males but to the fact that male victims are starting to come forward.

Hmmmm.... (Score:1) by napnip on 08:48 AM November 12th, 2004 EST (#1) (User #494 Info) http://www.aynrand.org In a letter to ManKind this year, Baroness Scotland of Asthal, Minister of State at the Home Office, told the charity that she would not meet it to discuss support because �funding is very limited�. That one sentence displays the sexism and bias in government. She wouldn't even meet with the officials at the men's shelter. A simple meeting doesn't obligate government to fund a shelter or program, but she was unwilling to even sit down with the shelter officials and discuss it. "Existence exists. A is A." -Ayn Rand

Incidently, despite the fact that most men have no-where to turn for help, the police, hospitals and social agencies dismiss them, and even ManKind's Crisis Line only operates 2 per day - men have still formed over a third of all reported victims . . . I just wonder what the percentage may be if furnished with the same level of support afforded women ? ? ?

And perhaps giving men driven to utter despair an alternative to killing off their family and then committing suicide just might be a more cost effective option....already been there eh?....excuse my naievity.
