Terrible Double Standard

"I'm a man whose wife is beating me!"

"That phone line is operated from 10-3, Tuesday and every second Thursday."

"concerned about becoming violent or abusive..." just the wording of this description hurts me.

SigmundFloyd76 · 2015-03-09T22:01:46+00:00

Wow! Yeah I'm Canadian. The Domestic violence grievance industry is powerful here, but SHIT Australia is Scary!

Woman are just as violent as men. Period. Erin Pizzey, back me up!

Vanriel · 2015-03-09T20:52:52+00:00

That is down right disgusting.

Maybe we should contact them about this obvious error.

At least they're honest about how the government and police treat male victims of domestic violence.

DavidByron2 · 2015-03-09T20:11:19+00:00

Equality, feminist style.

BlueDoorFour · 2015-03-10T00:11:01+00:00

Information and support is also available for men who have experienced family and domestic violence

(the next line).

"You know, just in case... ah heck, nobody's going to call about that." /s

True equality would be one single helpline for anybody who needed it. This is feminism.

tallwheel · 2015-03-10T00:54:23+00:00

'Concerned about your violent male nature coming to the surface?'

MummasCumquat · 2015-03-09T20:29:39+00:00

Fucking Australia. They're starting to be the worst. Like a little feminist experiment in a jar so we can look over there in ten years and show the world what happens when you give in to the feminists.

I personally know a few guys now who are second-guessing some trips Down Under. They 1) Don't want to give the money to a country like this and 2) don't want to get stopped and questioned if they happen to look the wrong way at a girl in a pub. Where are some other vacation spots they could try? New Zealand? I hear they're even more "progressive." South Africa?

Since they seemed to have changed the definition of domestic violence to include emotional and financial control, it's no wonder I felt like I had no where to turn during my last relationship. She controlled the finances and knew exactly how to manipulate my emotions. I then see this sort of thing and wonder where exactly can I turn to.

I have been out for a while and do have a positive outlook on life but it still worries me about getting back into a relationship and this sort of thing to happen again.

Oh ffs i just searched domestic abuse helpline uk thinking ours wouldnt be this bad, the first one that comes up?

This

Make sure to read the text near the bottom.

What concerns me more is that the top one is a free call. Not only do I have to beat her up, but I have to pay for help as well? Not worth it.

andejoh · 2015-03-09T23:14:06+00:00

It's a terrible injustice, but I'm not surprised. It did cause me though to revisit a question. There was an article by a prominent MRA that has been characterized by feminists as him stating that if he were on a jury even if he knew a defendant was guilty of rape, he would vote to acquit a man guilty of raping a woman.

Of course, that's not what he said, but that did make me wonder are there any reasons to acquit a person you knew was guilty? If we know that women routinely get away with rape and DV and are sentenced to only a fraction of what a man would receive, is that sufficient justification (does it serve the interests of justice to spare him an inequitable sentence) to acquit a guilty man of the crime?

If we know men are denied justice as victims of rape / DV, is it morally acceptable to deny women justice as well? If men are receiving unjust sentences in that their being punished more severely and more often than women, does it serve justice better if they serve no sentence?

Kolz · 2015-03-10T03:08:56+00:00

This is so very indicative of how the populace at large views men and women. Ugh. And people wonder why I dislike feminism.

thekarateguy · 2015-03-10T15:55:03+00:00

I had two friends who refused to speak with me after I called it discrimination that in the US there are nearly 0 male-DV-victim shelters.

Their rationale? That any money allocated for men would come out of what is allocated for women. And to reduce women's DV resources is monstrous.

The lack of self-awareness behind this logic is staggering.

But men are supposed to be equally concerned about breast cancer research, because (in extremely rare cases) they could be victims, too.

Doulich · 2015-03-10T23:23:29+00:00

A repost yet again. I swear, this will never change, even though it's been posted 4 times here. Although, on the plus side, all this reposting has gotten that bit at the end added on.

lmea14 · 2015-03-11T00:59:31+00:00

Give me a fucking break.

"Greetings, I'm a sociopath who has violent tendencies. Could you please be a smashing gent and talk me out of it?"
