Sheriff's Website Refutes Feminist DV Myths

	posted by Matt on 04:02 PM June 29th, 2005
	Marc A. writes "The Sheriff of San Bernardino County in California has refuted some feminist myths about domestic violence on its website. They refute the 95% myth, the "female violence isn't serious" myth, and the self defense myth. Of course, there's much more they could cite, and refute, and unfortunately they then go on to use gender-exclusive language about things that are true about both sexes (thereby spreading other falsehoods). But this is still a good sign, and I'd say quite surprising for California. There is no doubt that the work of MRAs in stirring things up have helped prompt this kind of thing. We look forward to it increasing."

Sheriff's Website Refutes Feminist DV Myths (Score:1) by fritzc77 on 04:40 PM June 29th, 2005 EST (#1) http://fritzc77.tripod.com/ Hey, did anybody get a load of this: Myth:"All or almost all domestic violence by women is in self-defense." "A survey 0f 1,000 women, perhaps the largest survey of its kind, found that 20% had initiated violence. The most common reasons for women initiating domestic violence were: "My partner wasn't sensitive to my needs," (46%), "I wished to gain my partner's attention," (44%) and "My partner was not listening to me" (43%). "My partner was being verbally abusive to me" (38%) was a distant fourth." In other words, it's okay for women to physically abuse men because their feelings are hurt! Chris F. Those who claim to be brutally honest, enjoy the brutality more than the honesty.

That Study is by Fiebert/Gonzalez (Score:0) by Anonymous User on 05:17 PM June 29th, 2005 EST (#2) The website doesn't cite that study, but it's "Why Women Assault," College Women Who Initiate Assaults on their Male Partners and the Reasons Offered for Such Behavior. Psychological Reports, 80, 583-590 (1997) And it's posted at www.batteredmen.com/fiebertg.htm Marc A.

Good to see (Score:1) by kavius on 09:26 AM June 30th, 2005 EST (#3) http://www.vius.ca Its good to see that a police enforcement agency is explicitly acknowledging DV against males. You are right, could be better, but it is a good start.

Interesting (Score:2) by warble (activistwarble@yahoo.com) on 06:53 PM July 3rd, 2005 EST (#5) I cannot help but wonder if this is in part due to my efforts. Basically, my strategy has been to overload the police system every time that I've felt in any way threatened. I’ve made a tone of police calls any time any woman has so much as touched me. Finally, they wanted to know what they had to do to get me to stop calling. I told them that the Marxist-Feminists were responsible for the laws that were requiring me to call, and that they would have to lobby as a police group against the feminist propaganda to stop the lies and the creation of the communist laws. This is most likely wishful thinking. One could only wish they were making a difference. Still, I've been telling every man to do the same thing. That is alot of people...... Perhaps it's starting to add up..... AU Disclaimer: My statements are intended to be personal opinion, belief, sarcasm, or allegation.
