Up until the few years or so, I had never personally encountered a situation that I had deemed to be blatant sex discrimination. Since then, I have become aware of a large amount of men receiving significant jail and prison sentences for domestic violence related issues. One person that I had once known received 22 years in prison along with extended supervision for such an issue. Nobody was killed or disabled/disfigured, and yet I know of murderers who have served less time. In my area, this seems to be a growing trend.

One possible factor is that our former governor appointed a district attorney that has been behind all of the recent convictions. She even received a letter from one of the "victims" asking her not to prosecute as she had initiated the conflict and was just as if not more at fault than her partner. She later admitted that she had been confronted by her husband about an ongoing affair and chose to initiate a conflict and then use the police to take away her husband just to help her avoid the confrontation rather than facing it. Prior to this letter and the charges that were filed, she had been coached by the local Rainbow house as to what to tell the police in her statement. Regardless of her later wishes to have the charges dismissed, the prosecutor pushed forward with her agenda and the police continued to harass the suspect. Who is this D.A. serving if not for either of the parties involved? What agenda is she serving?

This all occurred right around the time of the MeToo movement. Since becoming more aware of the issues at hand, I have noticed many women choosing to play the victim card in any dispute; even seeking sympathy from other men to justify their position.

How can women expect fair or equal treatment in the workplace or anywhere else if they demand preference in the courtroom?

How can men stand by and offer their sympathy to these "victims" without realizing the trap that they could be walking into?
