Uni of Penn: With a domestic violence charge, let's say a guy -- and it usually is a guy... (paragraph 6)

a better phrasing would have been

"with domestic violence charges, regardless of the agressor's gender, the male is undoubtedly 100% of the time locked up and charged. "

I've personally been on the receiving end of the police when a woman lies about an assault, and believe you me, there is absolutely NOTHING you can say to assuage the situation or dissuade the police from thinking you are a shit sucking bastard who needs to go to jail.

That's totally a way of doubling down on any built-in prejudice in the court system.

The kinds of people who enjoy inserting snarky anti-male asides into officially gender-neutral observations are never heard to say things like: Let's say some guy, and it usually is a guy, runs into a burning building to save a stranger's life. No, they're scrupulously incurious about the gender of dead firefighters.

When men behave badly, we'll hear about men behaving badly. When men behave heroically, we'll hear about men and women behaving heroically.

I thought the repetition of arraignment in the article was just a serious case of bad spelling. But it turns out after good searching, it is a genuine word.

"With violent crime, usually committed by a black..."

Hmmm...

But it is usually the guy who is arrested whether or not he is the actual perpetrator of the violence.

"It's not a general public safety issue," she said. "With a domestic violence charge, let's say a guy -- and it usually is a guy -- is arrested for this and is awaiting trial. He's not going to go assault some random woman. The risk is for a re-assault of the same victim."

It's not like the Duluth model tells cops to arrest the male even when he's the victim or something.

"A large number of criminal justice decisions by law require projections of the risk to society. These threats are called 'future dangerousness,'"

"Pre-Crime" was already copyrighted.

I used to be all about this sub because I thought it was funny and it simply pointed out the hypocrisies of feminism. Let's be honest about this though, it usually is a guy. Still to this day as a man, more notably a white man we have every advantage given to us. Simply put, don't even put yourself in the position to get charged with something of this nature. Most of these guys out there that are "wrongfully accused" of something whether it be violence or sexual assault put themselves in the position. I know there are guys out there that are victims of domestic abuse but the numbers are far more leaned towards women being the victim. C'mon guys, we've had all the advantages for centuries. Let women have a couple.

I'll just leave this here:

Equal proportions of men and women with current or former spouses or partners reported being victims of spousal violence (4%, respectively). This translated into about 342,000 women and 418,000 men across the provinces. Moreover, similar declines in spousal violence were recorded for both sexes since 2004 (Table 1.2).

"With a grand theft auto charge, the black person -- and it usually is a black person..."

See what I did there?
