Calling your wife/girlfriend fat, now officially domestic abuse in the UK. Punishable by 5 years in prison.

There are historical examples of what happens when men lose faith in the legal system and its not pretty.

MattyAnon · 2016-02-18T13:18:22+00:00

There is also financial abuse as part of this law - ie not giving her enough of your money.

Some of the uses of this law will be reasonable and right. And the barrier on proof will gradually lower, and women (and their lawyers) will take advantage of the new legal situation to increase female entitlement. "Give me more money or I'll make up some stuff about financial abuse" will be the new threatpoint, as if the previous threats weren't enough.

I'd be happier if the courts will be as willing to convict women of this so-called crime as they will men, because controlling-nagging behaviour is the purview of women. But we all know the courts will be thinking "we didn't you just leave?". Men will be blamed for their actions and inactions, women exonerated for theirs.

This is why you should not marry (as if women themselves haven't put you off already) - the laws will continue to get more and more harsh on married men.

Controlling what they do, where they go, who they can see, what they wear....

Welcome to the legalization of hypergamy... don't want your wife cheating on you? That's DV & 5 years in jail... now she can do it anyway... and you'll be forced to pay child support (if you have kids), which you can't cause you're in jail, and now you're stuck in an infinite loop of failure...

wastagaswe · 2016-02-18T14:08:15+00:00

Now it will be even easier for women to make false abuse accusations. Without a shadow of the doubt, the UK is the gutter.

NeoreactionSafe · 2016-02-18T13:27:00+00:00

From second link:

“This behaviour can be incredibly harmful in an abusive relationship where one person holds more power than the other, even if on the face of it, this behaviour might seem playful, innocuous or loving.

Men love women, women love children, children love puppies.

This power dynamic (which creates tingles) was just made into a crime.

Masculinity (polarity) is now illegal in England.

Masculinity is now defined as an "abusive relationship".

RXRob · 2016-02-18T18:43:56+00:00

British guy here.

If I'm seeing a girl who starts to get fat, then I'll simply call things off in future. I don't want to get arrested for upsetting her.

Secondly, why would I consider expatriating? Britain is awesome. I have free at point of treatment health care, a moderate climate, a world famous legal red light district next door, I make a great living on 40 hours a week minimum wage, I'm a 30 minute drive from the big city and a 30 minute drive from the middle of nowhere, nobody has to live without central heating and running hot and cold water, we have very right of centre politics despite what social media would have you believe. We're still in the 1% of the global population just by living on this island.

Sepean · 2016-02-18T17:51:50+00:00

This is one of the things made illegal:

Repeatedly putting them down, such as telling them they are worthless

If I wanted to make shit testing illegal I'd word it just like that.

Ironically no woman will get prosecuted for this.

They actually arrest people in the UK for shit they say on Twitter. Google it: https://www.google.com/#q=uk%20twitter%20arrests They'll arrest you and throw you in jail for some drunken shit you said half-seriously about a football player. Un-fucking-believable.

anonymousoutrage · 2016-02-18T17:53:18+00:00

Not long ago I was talking to a female friend of mine, and the abuse topic was brought up. She said there were a lot more cases where the male abuses the female than otherwise.

She said she knew three friends of hers that had been abused (for once rightfully so, it was abuse and there was no denial about it). After I pronounced myself as a male victim of abuse when I was a child, she said "it's still three to just one man".

I looked at her in complete disbelief and cracked a smile that had both measures sarcasm and an acknowledgement of the social denial the male typically receives, I merely said: "So you think that 25% of the abuse cases you know about is nothing.", and then just dropped the topic.

edit: Might have gone offtopic, but it looked like the right place to mention this.

csehszlovakze · 2016-02-18T18:37:01+00:00

This was to be expected. I think it'll be soon expanded outside relationships, basically making bachelorhood and MGTOW illegal. "Damned if you do, damned if you don't."

Fun Fact: Erin Pizzey also wanted to create DV shelters for abused males, but was forced to abandon that idea after extreme hatred, criticism and backlash from feminists.

ser0402 · 2016-02-18T19:08:03+00:00

If criticizing your wife on her lack of ability to perform house hold duties is DV my dad should've been locked up 20 years ago.

VoyPerdiendo1 · 2016-02-18T21:50:35+00:00

On a positive note, here is Erin Pizzey, she created the first domestic violence shelter in the modern world, because she was concerned with DV itself, as opposed to man-hating feminism, it's a good video to watch and she's a genuinely lovely person.

That there is the biggest gem of your post. That video, so much insight. Such a compassionate human being. Do you know why we are here? Because of feminism. We needed to fight back, that is the reason we exist. This woman is wiser than any of us, she is the "middle ground".

TheRedChemist · 2016-02-20T10:39:02+00:00

Hilarious that all of this stems from a reduction in adversity faced on a day to day basis. As creatures we're evolved to cope with a daily struggle for survival, and we developed social structures and sexual strategies to best enable that survival. Now, survival is taken for granted and there's no true struggle in daily life - so we end up seeing something where there isn't anything, just so that there's something to struggle against.

It's like our entire species has PTSD. We've returned from the war and we're safe now, but we're still nervous about ambushes and IEDs and eventually we end up killing the neighbour's kid and drinking ourselves to death. You can't just delete thousands of years of learned experience. Without the control mechanism of a daily fight for survival, all the internal processes just snowball into total nonsensical madness.

TattedGuyser · 2016-02-18T13:20:52+00:00

I wonder if withholding sex and using it to control their partner (All women pretty much do this) would be considered Domestic Abuse?

Obviously it'll never be used against women, but it certainly fits their list of criteria that they listed out. I'd love to see a precedent set, oh man that would be hilarious to watch the femtards flip shit.

twatbutter · 2016-02-18T16:30:23+00:00

I've always said it, but the moment that the law becomes unjust to a group of people, or fails to be upheld, vigilantism becomes warranted. Men will just see offing their wives, or better yet not marrying them, as a better alternative than going through legal loops.

I expect to see domestic murder rates rise in correlation with such laws. I also expect manginas/feminists to say that this correlation was not caused by said laws.

alwaysultimate21 · 2016-02-18T17:56:00+00:00

So if she's actually fat, and you call her fat. You go to prison for telling the truth.

ABProsper · 2016-02-18T19:10:44+00:00

This will be easily dealt with either with Sharia courts for some guys or for secular/non religious guys by not having a wife or girlfriend. Plenty of loose women out there and if not that porn. Hope the UK enjoys the population crash and tech regression since other the Arabs and Blacks who being in a few ways smarter than Western men can't be made to behave that stupidly (too many of them , too violent) no one who can sustain society is having many children. Poles have a lower birth rate that UK Whites and all of those societies are running out of migrants.

Also some men may immediately divorce the woman without telling her why if she puts on weight before this law can be used against them as well though there are risks.

More likely men won't marry, have cohabitation or any LTR's with any women, By by family formation and by by economy and social order. Hope the ladies like moggies.

For the sex urge there are plenty of loose women out there as well and porn and eventually I suspect people will end up shifting very hard right

Long term, women will fail the worlds largest shit test and end up without any rights I suspect.

Whoever takes over, the philosophy/faith of Islam, Traditionalists if any still exist in the UK or rebels and/or warlords for that matter will simply not allow their women to cause so many problems.

They won't be owning property, voting, serving in office, going to Uni if they are through, doing many different jobs and will be expected to marry and have children or live with the parents till they do,

This is much less female freedom than Western cultures are accustomed to so it won't last terribly long and Islam won't stay around that long without conquest but the irony is that most women will complain but will be much happier since their be feminine and even the mealiest of men will be fairly masculine

dragonfangxl · 2016-02-18T17:02:15+00:00

Oh no you don't understand, it's not bad at all. It's only when it happens "repeatedly" that it becomes illegal.

So you have to call her fat twice at any two points. Perfectly logical! ^{^{^/s}}

thor_away92 · 2016-02-18T13:30:00+00:00

The offence only applies if the victim suffers such treatment “repeatedly or continuously”, on an ongoing basis.

TRP get all butt hurt before reading the fucking material?! It's like they're a subgroup of redditors or something!!

I mean if you repeatedly call your woman a fat cow, yet you're still with her I'd deem that rather abusive too..

So basically a lot of you blew this out of context with your anger phase. You're not going to prison because you tell your girlfriend she is getting fat.

I see why we're called a cult now. Look at all the foul mouthed things you said when the entire topic of anger isn't even what this fucking law is about.

Tl;dr you guys are fueling the decline.

I wouldn't hear out people who are claiming to logically be above women, and then react just like a woman would to a simple article they didn't even read.

More women are guilty of these things then men, but they do it in a more covert way. So if this law when put into practice really covers psychological abuse, and not just bullying, then I hope all the psychologically abused husbands and bf's who have been put down or whatever get the justice they deserve

Archwinger · 2016-02-18T16:26:05+00:00

Everyone knows that the only reason a man would ever tell a woman she's fat is to undermine her self esteem so that she doesn't think she can get other men -- it's all a coercive, abusive trick to keep her trapped in the relationship by keeping her thinking that she's too hideous to find someone else.

Nobody would ever tell a fat woman that she's fat because she's fat. Because you don't get laid that way, and we all know that every word a man says to a woman is either an attempt to please her to get laid, or an attempt to abuse her...to get laid.

Drenmar · 2016-02-18T16:06:14+00:00

That law is vague as fuck. Let's see how they implement it, I wouldn't panic just yet. Calling a woman fat can be legitimately abusive, for example when you adress her as a "fat piece of shit" all day every day.

Squeezymypenisy · 2016-02-18T13:33:34+00:00

In fairness to the judges here in Britain, they tend to take a no-nonsense view of the law. I'm not saying it definitely won't happen, but I suspect that in reality nobody will go to prison for calling his missus fat. This law is intended for use against extreme cases of psychological abuse and I have enough faith in our legal system to believe that is how it will be applied.

Controlling behaviour is:a range of acts designed to make a person subordinate and/or dependent by isolating them from sources of support, exploiting their resources and capacities for personal gain, depriving them of the means needed for independence, resistance and escape and regulating their everyday behaviour.

By this definition, any gold-digger could be locked up if the man can prove she's a gold-digger (shouldn't be too hard). Good thing this law would immediately be declared a violation of the first amendment if it was brought to the States.

The UK can't protect children from being raped 1400 at a time! They can't protect women in public, nor large areas where other criminal and ethnic gangs operate shadow gov'ts with impunity ... and the remaining gov't gang is running french revolution show trials with summary justice to placate and distract the Marxist mob in the capital.

Psychological abuse goes both ways, anything can be argued with supporting evidence or documentation, and plenty of arguments can be made against an unfit wife. Basically, if you suspect things going wrong, and believe she is capable of taking you to court for some arbitrary reason, you start making your own counter case and gathering evidence months in advance.

If stating facts about body weight are considered abuse; not taking care of the kids, not housekeeping, abusive or shit-testing texts are all forms of abuse and unfit parental roles.

The person you love calling you fat will NEVER come close to the pain of being physically assaulted by the person who's supposed to stand by your side no matter what. You can be by someone's side and still call them fat. That ain't abuse. I'd like to see this chick talk to people who've been bruised, choked out, and had guns held to their heads by partners.

Just naively looking at the wording, I think it's supposed to look harmless enough.

I read its wording as aimed at the truly controlling control freak type that forbids the spouse the use of the car in fear they might just take off and leave. You know, the cult leader type asshole.

However it also looks like a BS fest that plenty of manipulative types and lawyers will have a field day with and where just about anything you do might be used to hang you with. I guess the theme of having everybody a potential criminal is continuing.

If depopulating the world of culturally Christian English nationalist minded males and supplanting that culture with Islam is part of the end goal of the Marxists in England, this will likely have the completely opposite effect. Ask anyone who's worked in a prison, even the wardens know that they don't make the rules, the prisoners do and if the prisoners culturally identify as English, so too will the children they father. How can I say that? Simple, nothing gets a girl to wet her panties faster than her hunger for a bad boy.

Okay, this sub and its ideas really changed my life for the better; but some of the shit that gets upvoted and taken seriously is fucking off the wall insane.

It is NOT illegal to call your wife or girlfriend fat. If you are in a 'redpill' relationship with your S.O. then it should be consensual, and she should be happy about whatever limitations you are placing on her.

Just the other day there was a highly-upvoted post about NOT MATE GUARDING because it is beta behavior that will ultimately fail. Now people are in here calling the end of the world because you can't lock your wife in the bedroom in the UK?

Don't get me wrong, I recognize the hyper PC third-wave feminist bullshit that is coursing through the veins of our society is making our dicks limp and our estrogen levels soar, but if systematically undermining the freedom of THE WEAKER SEX needs to be a valid way to keep your fucking girl around you are a piece of shit.

Single men in the UK should never live with a woman, and plan on never marrying.

I see some black knighting potential here. "My wife will not give me sex. This is putting me down and making me feel worthless. Psychological abuse! Domestic abuse!"

"My wife nags me and complains about everything. This puts me down and makes me feel worthless. Psychological abuse!"

"My wife is a spendthrift who can't get her spending under control. It threatens to send us to the poorhouse. When I confront her about it, she threatens to report me to police for financial abuse. Her out of control spending is financial abuse! Her threats of reporting me are psychological abuse!"

The headline doesn't match the body text at all. From the Independent article:

When does the offence apply?

The offence only applies if the victim suffers such treatment “repeatedly or continuously”, on an ongoing basis.

Although courts will look for evidence of a behavioural pattern rather than isolated incidents, the Home Office states each case “must be considered on an individual basis” and “there is no set number of incidents in which controlling or coercive behaviour has been displayed which must be proved”.

It must also have had a “serious effect” on the victim. It is explicitly stated that the victim must either “fear that violence will be used against them on at least two occasions” or “been caused serious alarm or distress” enough to disrupt their day-to-day activities.

The behaviour must also be calculated. According to the Home Office, it must be such that the “perpetrator knows or ‘ought to know’ that it will have a serious effect on the victim”.

Lastly, both victim and abuser have to be “personally connected when the incidents took place”, meaning they would have had to be in, or are in, an intimate relationship, or were family members living together.

In light of this, how is it reasonable to conclude "Calling your wife/girlfriend fat now officially domestic abuse?" This type of headline journalism is the MO of the likes of Fox news, not people concerned with understanding the world as it actually exists.

Your honor, my apologies for calling her fat, she's a 400lb slob and the word fat just slipped out of my mouth like a bag of Doritos fell out of fatso mouth.

My bad, I'm sorry.

Fucking bullshit.

It's here folks. Orwell predicted the groupthink and doublespeak will be on us before you know it.

Great informative post, but holy damn is this subreddit delusional.

This is how Islam wins. Enough people look around and the current state of western civilization and think "anything has to be better than this madness."

Don't be lazy, read the actual articles. OP is using a lot of hyperbole here, and even making some of this shit up.

AwwChrist · 2016-02-18T14:49:59+00:00

Sorry, did anyone actually read the articles and apply objective analysis instead of immediately grabbing pitchforks? The first article states that the law would apply to the following:

-Isolating a person from their friends and family

-Controlling what they do, where they go, who they can see, what they wear and when they sleep

-Repeatedly putting them down, such as telling them they are worthless

-Enforcing rules and activity which humiliate, degrade or dehumanise the victim

-Financial abuse

-Threats to reveal or publish private information

A lot of you guys are creating bogeymen where there are none. It's reactionary and definitely not aloof or stoic. Three of these things mentioned are already crimes, such as unlawful detainment, unlawful surveillance (key logging, breaking into email and social media accounts), and blackmail.

This works for both men and women, which I can get behind, as I've had my accounts broken into by exes and been threatened with blackmail myself. Just because a women's rights group supports it doesn't automatically make it a case for women to take your shit and nowhere does it mention anything about calling a woman fat. Tighten the fuck up and apply some objective critical thinking. Read the article.

*edit for formatting and a sentence

To repeat myself again: This shit is going to keep getting worse and worse and worse, UNTIL men start organizing and standing up against this and saying, enough is enough. Get involved with MRAs, they're the only ones pushing back against the deterioration.

You know it would be great if this law could be used against abusive women. Am not getting my hopes on.

Emotional manipulation is pretty fucking broad and how the hell do they want cops to know what constitute putting them down.

This shit is unenforceable.
