Feminism Is A Doctrine of Violence

Ok, I see how Feminism can easily be associated with Womens rights (in the sense that womens rights are what it is concerned with). The most common definition of Feminism though is gender equality. While this doesn't conform to reality (most people think of it as the former) can't we take the word for ourselves?

it renders acceptable violence against non subscribing men, as well as non subscribing women.

That's where the author jumps the rails. Nothing prior to that statement gives any evidence that it makes violence toward non-feminist men acceptable (legally) nor that it makes violence against non-subscribing women acceptable. Even the most hard-line feminist seems unlikely to shrug even if it was Phylis Schafly getting slapped around.

escalate a nonviolent disagreement to a violent altercation.

I've worked a few DV cases, and in none of them have I see the police escalate a nonviolent argument into a violent one. Unless, I suppose, you're defining the act of calling the police (and possible results) as being "violent". That seems a bit overly broad, though.

but it cannot be disputed that forcible removal by armed enforcers is not an act of profound violence against theman [sic] who is removed.

I can dispute that. A man who is asked to leave or escorted from his home does not have violence used against him. And, if he resists, it's not violence in the sense we usually use it.

Indignity and violence are not synonyms.

Unfortunately, in many cases they are wholly frivolous, but still granted by the courts, without an evidentiary inquiry, simply based on the assertion of a woman that she “feels” threatened. Men have the same rights to protective orders, in law, but not in practice.

For fourteen days. There is no state I'm aware of which does not have a fourteen-day limitation on temporary protective orders. And I know that the limit exists in Colorado and Washington.

After two weeks, there is a hearing on whether to extend that order through the trial, and up to the judge's discretion and findings to determine whether it should be extended.

I promise you that if you called the police and said your wife was beating you and you feared she was going to stab you to death, the police would immediately issue a restraining order.

Need I remind you of the case where the woman had a TPO against her husband, who violated it and killed their daughters?

I do agree about the prostitution stuff, and I'll defer on responding to the U.S law until I know more (and I know nothing about the laws of Canada or the case referenced).
