One thing that all the politicians on both sides seem to have in common is genuinely NOT GIVING A SHIT about how VAWA is implemented against battered men and men falsely accused of battery.

I can't even decide which side of the aisle I'm more angry with. All these stupid side issues making this bill contentious, and they're completely silent on the most important question.

some key parts of the article:

Janice Shaw Crouse, a senior fellow at the conservative Concerned Women for America, said her group had been pressing senators hard to oppose reauthorization of legislation she called “a boondoggle” that vastly expands government and “creates an ideology that all men are guilty and all women are victims.”

Republicans say the measure, under the cloak of battered women, unnecessarily expands immigration avenues by creating new definitions for immigrant victims to claim battery

The legislation would . . . extend the definition of violence against women to include stalking

I love how the GOP is like "We don't really give a shit about men either. It's the fucking immigrants, man!"

Even though I am not a Republican, I don't think I've ever been happier to lean towards to the political right than when I found out that every single Republican candidate voted against repealing VAWA. If change for the MRM is going to happen, it will happen with a 'right-wing' party.
