"Hey there's a men's DV helpli- Oh"

They should start a Men's rape crisis hotline too. With helpful tips on how not to rape.

Sadly they offer no similar service for women who feel they are likely to abuse their children, despite the widely documented need for them.

Just one more example of how the needs of women are ignored! /s

Ring ring.
"Men's Domestic Violence Hotline. How can I help you?"

"I'm concerned I'm going to abuse my wife. I mean, she keeps hitting me with things. The other day it was with a cast iron skillet. I had to get 6 stitches. I'm worried that if she keeps hitting me, I'm going to snap and hit her back. How can I keep from abusing my wife?"

That is sick.

Well, one day I was beating my girlfriend.

I just hurled my face against her fists, again and again. The broken eye socket was worth seeing that horrible woman suffer from bruised knuckles.

Thank goodness there was a hotline I could call, to report myself for my evil male aggressive violence.

sizzletron · 2013-04-19T17:43:26+00:00

No it does not.

ryaneddy · 2013-04-20T00:17:51+00:00

And people wonder why men don't report that they are abused.....

Drop_ · 2013-04-19T18:32:56+00:00

True equality! A women's helpline, and a men's helpline. What more could we ask for?

smokes_degrass · 2013-04-19T19:35:25+00:00

No it does not.

2013-04-19T18:39:05+00:00

Good job Western Australia.

Disgusting but predictable.

T_r_y_p_t · 2013-04-20T01:45:49+00:00

Wow

Goddamnit

I had to read that twice before I realised what the problem was.

Presumably if you're a man getting battered you're supposed to just man up, drink a few tinnies and try not to get blood on the carpet.

ScottFree37 · 2013-04-20T11:45:08+00:00

Would anyone like some good news associated with this?

This has been up before and I showed my it to my wife (who happens to be a teacher at an all girls school) who then went on to show it to her students in her unit on justice.

Without any prompting a student straight away asked "what number can men call?" And her whole class was horrified at the blatant sexism.

There is hope for the future (at least in Australia).

2013-04-20T03:49:50+00:00

no no it's starting...the transformation....must call the helpline before its too late...no its happening...not again....ARRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!

HULK SMASH!!!!!!!!!!

"...but the effect of misandry is simply hurt feelings" -some feminists

No, this is fucking proof it isnt, and there is a ton more. I get the feeling that some feminists just like to ignore things that dont fit their world view and modify other things so they seem like they do more. Fucking sexism against both genders is everywhere and thats the problem. Of course I am an MRA so saying that is sexist.

conan93 · 2013-04-20T14:02:27+00:00

Is there any way to contact them and ask them to add an option for male victims and female abusers?

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2013-04-20T15:45:25+00:00

So would an abused man call the women's hotline? Would an abusive woman call the men's hotline?

Why not just have one for abusers and one for abused and leave gender out of it. That would have been quite simple. The edits could be done in 30 seconds or so.

kickthehive · 2013-04-20T02:39:23+00:00

Hey, first time poster...

According to the Australian government "a woman is more likely to be killed in her home by her male partner than anywhere else or by anyone else." Also, "Most males (89 per cent) and females (67 per cent) who were victims of physical assault reported that the offender was male." (same source)

Donno if that accounts for the language on the hotlines. It'd be cooler if they were gender neutral though...

In the US the statistics look like this:

About 4 in 5 victims of intimate partner violence were female from 1994 to 2010 - Bureau of Justice Statistics

Males were 83% of spouse murderers and 75% of dating partner murderers - U.S. Department of Justice via American Bar Association

Again, though I'm sure they wouldn't kick you off the hotline just for having the wrong gonads. That'd be pretty shitty.

lazlounderhill · 2013-04-20T13:45:24+00:00

WTF! Maybe we should just have two different "911s". 911 for women and Dial 9(your shit out of luck) for men.

Screencap, for what it's worth: http://i.imgur.com/tXFHFjx.jpg

Somebody should pass this on to 4chan.

It's impossible for a woman to abuse a man.

Abuse = prejudice + power.
