Yep, "ALL" victims...

In the act's defense, it does protect men. Blame law enforcement for not upholding their responsibility to us.

Proof:

Here is the entire bill that is going to Obama's desk.

Page 17 reads:

‘‘(A) NONDISCRIMINATION.—No person in the United States shall, on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity (as defined in paragraph 249(c)(4) of title 18, United States Code), sexual orientation, or disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity funded in whole or in part with funds made available under the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (title IV of Public Law 103–322; 108 Stat. 1902), the Violence Against Women Act of 2000 (division B of Public Law 106–386; 114 Stat. 1491), the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (title IX of Public Law 109–162; 119 Stat. 3080), the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, and any other program or activity funded in whole or in part with funds appropriated for grants, cooperative agreements, and other assistance administered by the Office on Violence Against Women.

‘‘(B) EXCEPTION.—If sex segregation or sex-specific programming is necessary to the essential operation of a program, nothing in this paragraph shall prevent any such program or activity from consideration of an individual’s sex. In such circumstances, grantees may meet the requirements of this paragraph by providing comparable services to individuals who cannot be provided with the sex-segregated or sex-specific programming.

If a VAWA funded organization refuses services to you, cite this section and demand they provide comparable services to you. If the police won't help you, cite this section and the fourteenth fucking amendment.

Know your rights. Yes, people fuck us over. They can't if we don't let them.

Gotta love the added run that all the dissenters were R's too. No context on why they voted no, just those mean old white racist mysogonysts.

Just another reason moveon.org is worthless slop.

Last_Years_Villain · 2013-03-01T17:38:09+00:00

Right... that's why there isn't a single DV shelter for men funded under the act.

WeAreLegion1863 · 2013-03-01T17:14:41+00:00

So blatently hypocritical it amazes me.

Happypants · 2013-03-01T18:47:40+00:00

I like how it goes from "ALL victims of violence" at the top to "ALL women" at the bottom, as though the two were essentially the same.

RobotJim · 2013-03-01T19:35:46+00:00

The only thing I really read from this was

All Women Vs Republicans.

Apparently if you are a women you disagree with all things republican, good or bad. And if you are a republican you disagree with all of womens' views, good or bad.

Seems like neither republicans will listen to women and women won't listen to republicans.

So there you go, if you are a woman and I am a republican, "fuck you, everything you say is wrong no matter what". and if you are a republican and I am a woman, "fuck you, everything you say is wrong no matter what."

This is a great way to be political.............................

If it really wanted to protect everybody the bill would have been named the violence against people act. The very name of the bill is sexist. Image any other bill named like that for men. Economic stimulus bill for men ect, yeah that would go over well.

What does the { symbol mean in this poster? That LGBTQ, Immigrants and Natives are included under the women label?

TheExits · 2013-03-01T20:42:37+00:00

How does the 'LGBT' thing work? Like if police turn up at the house of two gay guys who are fighting, do they arbitrarily beat and jail the larger one?

theskepticalidealist · 2013-03-02T01:59:50+00:00

I love how LGBT only applies to women somehow

2013-03-01T18:21:17+00:00

The name of the bill implies empowermen not equality.

Nomenimion · 2013-03-01T19:44:31+00:00

Sure, if you have a vagina.

jbar3987 · 2013-03-01T20:34:45+00:00

"LGBTQ" "Immigrant" "Native American" ..... "Republicans"

ajustice83 · 2013-03-01T20:45:37+00:00

When I see posts like this on Reddit, with actual support for Republicans who do the right thing rather than just mindlessly bash them, I'm reminded that not all young people are solidly liberal. Many just support what is fair, not what is D or R. An "Equal Rights" legislation geared towards women, and not towards everyone, is a prime example.

(Yes, I know there are a lot of nuances in the law that protect everyone, but a "Violence against everyone" bill doesn't sound trendy enough)

MCRiviere · 2013-03-01T20:16:20+00:00

So are the 138 that voted against it ALL Republicans or are they just trying to slander?

blueoak9 · 2013-03-01T22:09:52+00:00

That's a disgusting lie.

Danyboii · 2013-03-01T23:19:04+00:00

Damn Republicans!

thatcoolredditor · 2013-03-02T08:22:41+00:00

"With tits" was obviously implied after victims.

Esnim · 2013-03-02T08:37:06+00:00

That is one of the most biased things I have seen recently. Not only is that obviously biased against men, its also biased against Republicans. Now I know some in the Republican party are the most vocal against this, but there are those it doesn't take into account. I'm so tired of seeing bias everywhere. So very tired.

sombrerobandit · 2013-03-01T18:42:14+00:00

kill all the white men- nofx
