Australia considering rewarding Women who make allegations of Domestic Violence

What more incentive do you need to make a false allegation?

And an important question is, will the days off work also apply to men? I think not.

Ok this is ridiculous. Hear me out. I'm a female, and a feminist. I want EQUALITY. I don't think women should have more rights than men. I come to MR because I think that a lot of the time men get the short end of the stick, and they don't deserve it. Feminism should NOT be about completely turning the tables - it's about EQUALITY.

What really bugs me though, is people consistently posting sensationalist headlines for articles on MR. Seriously? "Australia considering rewarding Women who make allegations of Domestic Violence" That's not what the article is talking about at all! It's talking about "victims of domestic violence". Note the key word: victims: aka people who have experienced proven domestic violence. Do you honestly think that this legislation would accept mere allegations of DV? I think not.

In addition to this, it does not say that it will be exclusively for women, in fact due to the nature of our workplace legislation and sexual discrimination laws it CANNOT be exclusively for women.

So really, take this for what it is - a union trying to help victims (regardless of sex) get back on their feet after experiencing proven domestic violence. And for christ's sake stop bitching.

EDIT: wording
