Domestic violence law is ready for the dump

Why it’s time to kill Joe Biden’s favorite law.

 

(Dallas) The Violence Against Women Act, a monument to feminist political power, is up for reauthorization. VAWA does nothing for victims of domestic violence, and it’s time to kill it, argues JANICE SHAW CROUSE.

Grounded on the feminist dogma that men are inherently abusive, VAWA wrecks families and tramples civil rights. It funnels hundreds of millions each year to a corrupt domestic violence industry. It indoctrinates judges, prosecutors, law makers, teachers, and school children in an anti-male, anti-family ideology. All that, without protecting abuse victims.

Laws should be based on reality, insists Dr. Crouse. Women are as likely as men to initiate physical aggression. About half of intimate partner abuse is mutual. And extreme interventions by the criminal justice system make many victims afraid to seek help. There’s simply no reason not to have sensible domestic violence laws. VAWA must go.

Questions for Dr. Crouse:

 

▪  What is VAWA and what’s wrong with it?

▪  Is there a chance that Congress won’t reauthorize VAWA? Who’s against it?

▪  You say that VAWA hasn’t lived up to its promise. In what ways?

▪  How have VAWA’s sponsors changed the proposed version? Is it better or worse?

▪  VAWA’s opponents are accused of waging a war on women. Are you?

▪  What are the financial arguments against VAWA? Is it a good use of tax dollars?

  1. It’s grand as can be knowing that this monster is ‘on the nose’ of late.

    It’s even grander knowing that there are groups of women who are ticked off about this and saying so too.

    First the men “complain” and now the women.

    I love stuff like this.

    I’ve heard it said that nothing really changes until the women get pissed off.

    I Believe that.

    Buh-byes VAWA.

    Now if we can just get that whole Violence Against ALL Humans thingy passed…

    To all the latecomers and also to VP Joke Bidden:
    Yes, there really is this radical new idea floating around out there now; that Men are actually human beings too…

  6. It might be a good time to invest in some ear plugs for sure as shit the femies are going to howl and scream over this in an octave close to what only dogs can hear.
    I look forward to hearing it all the way up here in Canada and laughing. Watching them scream and froth at the mouth like the mad dogs they are will provide me with endless hours of enjoyment.

    One lie at a time feminist dogma is being exposed for its hatred and violence (including violence by proxy.)
    I got my fingers crossed for you Americans.

    Protecting Women And Their Children Around The World

    Yesterday evening, I had the honor of addressing the 2nd Annual World Conference of Women’s Shelters, hosted by the National Network to End Domestic Violence, and sponsored by Global Network of Women Shelters. The conference was composed of more than 1,300 advocates representing more than 90 countries, including the United States.

    I was incredibly inspired by the work these advocates are doing to keep women and their children safe. And I was proud to affirm that President Obama and his administration stand with them. Protecting women and their children is a cause he cares deeply about, not just as a President of the United States, but also as a son, a husband and a father of two daughters.

    This is why the President has made combating violence against women a key foreign policy goal. Under the new plan, for the first time ever, all United States government personnel in conflict-affected countries will be responsible for making sure that women have a seat at the table. And part of that responsibility will be to prevent violence against women.

    President Obama also believes we must lead by example here at home. The Obama Administration has directed public housing authorities and landlords to make sure victims do not lose their housing because of the crimes committed against them. Under new Title IX guidelines, schools, colleges, and universities that receive federal funds now have a clear legal obligation to prevent and respond to sexual assaults. As part of the Affordable Care Act, women will soon have access to medical screenings for domestic violence at no additional cost. And insurance companies are prohibited from discriminating against survivors of domestic violence by labeling their tragedy a “pre-existing condition.” And we also are strongly advocating for the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act. These efforts are coordinated by Lynn Rosenthal, the first-ever White House Advisor on Violence Against Women.

    As the Chair of the White House Council on Women and Girls, I am so proud to be part of an administration led by a President who prioritizes new strategies to help protect women and their children. When women are denied the chance to contribute because of domestic violence our entire society suffers. When women have a chance to achieve their dreams, everybody benefits. When women succeed, society as a whole does better.

    Last night was a reminder of how much progress we have made working with government, civil society, advocacy organizations, and the private sector to develop successful strategies to end domestic violence. There is much work we still must do, but seeing so many courageous leaders from around the world devoted to this important goal renewed my confidence that if we all do our part, we can and will win the fight against sexual and gender-based violence. We will create a world where no woman lives in fear, and where every woman has the chance to work hard and reach her full potential.

    • “Gender-based violence”

      Almost all violence against women is considered “gender-based” by feminists, even if the exact same thing (or even a WORSE thing) would have been done to a man in the same position.

    • “When women are denied the chance to contribute because of domestic violence our entire society suffers.”

      equally

      when men are denied a chance to contribute and father their children because of false allegations of DV our entire society suffers, the evidence for this is overwhelming.

      “When women have a chance to achieve their dreams, everybody benefits. When women succeed, society as a whole does better.”

      Rather it should be :
      When women have a chance to achieve their dreams but men do not and when women succeed but men fail, society as whole does far worse.

    • “I was incredibly inspired by the work these advocates are doing to keep women and their children safe.”

      These people don’t have a clue, do they? They are harming children. Women are the primary abusers of children. And in a system that favors giving custody to women, children are more likely to be left in the hands of the parent most likely to be their primary abuser, while being denied access to the only other parent that might save them. A child with two separate parents to choose from is better off because at least they have more options, and maybe a way out of an impossible situation.

    I get in trouble for saying that; strident MRA’s that claim women have no place in the MRM, while they sit with their thumbs up their self-righteous asses.

      • Put things in the proper perspective.
        There’s absolutely no comparison to a few loud and rowdy online MRA commentators, and anti-feminist governance women’s groups. The women are organized and funded, just for starters.

        If you’re a man and you’re against feminism you’re obviously biased by default. That’s how it was set up. You won’t be given a platform, ever. You’re the slave owner complaining about being mistreated by the slaves. The rich complaining about the burdensome poor, etc. It’s Cultural Marxist/Class Warfare used to divide the sexes.

        If you’re a woman and you’re against feminism, people will listen to you. Such as Camille Paglia, Phyllis Schlafly, Ann Coulter, et al…

        If the MRM is to move forward in a significant way, the vehicle will be other women; both conservative, libertarian and socially conscious.

        I don’t like it and I don’t mean to disrespect the men’s efforts on the front lines, but this is the reality.

      If they did that, they would also have to upgrade the female biology so they will be able to pull their weight as well as men.

      …and if they did that, then they wouldn’t be fully biological women any more, so it can’t be used to say women are superior. It would technically be a genderless society.

    > “It is a sad biological reality.”

    Disagree. Mostly it’s mental.

    Guys adopted a slave mentality when it came to gender issues. It’s amazing to watch. As I’ve said before, threaten to delay the start of any “important” sports events and men will IMMEDIATELY protest. Plus men will find ways to form corporations, unions, governments, etc. Yet they treat gender issues like kryptonite. At first they pooh-pooh them as piffle, then later say they are too entrenched to be changed. It’s a variation of the early-taught lesson to never-ever-ever hit a female, even when she stabs you multiple times.

    Feminists know this. They count on it. The MRM, at best, is a flea they flick from time to time. Fembots know a few guys will, at most, grouse anonymously online. But so what? It’s like regular armies on the march dealing with a few poorly-armed, poorly-trained skirmishers. No contest.

    Men lost the war when they let their kids be taken from them. The result? Millions of boys worldwide viewing their fathers as candyass losers… “men” who failed to protect them; men who let them be further abused in feminist-run schools; men who taught that manhood is a joke…than modern men are just expendable drones in feminist hives.

    Now men WILL unite and fight it what’s at stake is something relatively unimportant. But when it comes to the things men SAY they value most of all (like their own children!)…well, things soon devolve into just sayings.

    Wish t’weren’t so. Yet it is. Look at comments like “we’re only just beginning” (after nearly 50 years?) and “things take time” and so on. It’s all prim and proper, meek and unmanning. It eviscerates the very passion and confidence males need to act.

    Millions of men risked their lives to stop Hitler. Unfortunately, their sons, in turn, did little to stop feminism. At the same, they complain that feminism ran amok and harmed them.

    Well, yeah: If you wear a “Rob me!” sign on your back you WILL mostly likely be robbed.

    Men taught feminists that the latter could do pretty much what they wanted and the former would remain passive.

    Voila: the world as we know it today, half-created by males.

    • Well Auntie, in my experience even if you fight the system and win, the system keeps after you.

      Then you children learn the lesson that they indeed have more “rights” than you, society and in particular the enforcement agencies at every level take their word over yours.

      What to do?

      The only way to avoid this is to screw a different woman every week, get a vasectomy and pay as little tax as possible.

      A single man can live on a fraction of what an empowered woman demands and live better, less stressfull, better sex with more variety and avoid having to redo the kitchen every 5 years.

      Men just need to learn that women hate them. Many people hate others, I wouldn’t let a woman in my house these days any more than I would take a stroll in a bad neighborhood with dollar bills sticking out of my pocket.

      And if you really need to get laid go to back page don’t fall for the scam guys…..that’s all it takes.

    • In Australia, if a woman claims DV, without any requirement of proof, she gets tax breaks, or alternatively is allowed to receive social security payments with no obligation to look for work for up to one year (which cycle the woman can re-initiate each year). She is also entitled to extra social security support payments -over and above the normal thresholds. Women will soon receive employer funded holidays for claiming to be a victim of DV, a law that is being railroaded through. She can currently receive free accomodation for claiming DV. Finally, any woman who claims DV without proof is able to access superannuation funds early- unlike all other Australians who are forbidden to do so.

      And if that isn’t insult enough, the government tallies up all these alleged cases of DV and counts them as statistical validation for continuing and expanding the above perks… a self perpetuating cycle of insanity.

    Well it looks like the US is charging flat out into tyranny. First the Patriot Act, then NDAA, now this.

    Pasted from http://www.dailypaul.com

    Just when you thought the government couldn’t ruin the First Amendment any further: The House of Representatives approved a bill on Monday that outlaws protests in instances where some government officials are nearby, whether or not you even know it.
    ….
    Under H.R. 347, a federal law will formally be applied to such instances, but will also allow the government to bring charges to protesters, demonstrators and activists at political events and other outings across America.

    http://rt.com/usa/news/348-act-tresspass-buildings-437/

    Ok, so it looks like us MRAs didn’t take advantage of the right to demonstrate and protest while it still existed.

    And we know about the ongoing efforts to censor the internet. What will we do when there is no space at all for dissent? Now, you watch these laws be selectively applied. Feminists will continue to stage marches and protests where ever and when ever they like, so will minority groups to a degree I’d say.

    As long as the government exists in it’s current form, things are going to get ramped up more and more.

    The VAWA exasperates me. It’s legislative passing is the epitome of weakened men, filled with chivalry, ready to do whatever it takes to make women like them more—like blind, obedient puppets who think doing whatever women want them to is what makes a male a man. I do not pity men who think that way but they (and the rest of us unfortunately) will have hell to live because of their stupidity.

    I cringe when I think of the boys of the future who will be oppressed by this shit-laced piece of misandric, hate-legislation. Those same boys, looking back are going to have severe disdain for the “men” who let their egos dominate their actions. It is up to us MRM men and agreeing women to get this beast killed–or at least make it neutral in every way it exists.

    A BILLION dollars a year is appropriated for this hate act, with no accountability, no real proof, no substance, nothing but hatred of nature for not making women dominant. It is the blaming of men in an exponential measure.

    Men and sensible women, let’s rally, let’s protest peacefully, let’s stop this malignant growth before it destroys all that we hold dear. When that one little man, all by himself, takes to the streets over this, making loud noises and rants about its flaws and errors, making the media take note and reluctantly cover him, we must join him. We can not let him be alone doing our work all by himself.

    I want so badly to be that man. But I must have a lot of people behind me who is willing to risk so much to join in and get this debate on the national mainstream agenda. Somehow, I do not think enough real support will surface and the efforts of such a one-man protest will fade into oblivion while the problem grows worse.

    I do not have the answers to everything, but one thing I am right about… we must stick together and fight harder than we ever thought we could. It will only get worse if we do not learn to fight.

    If we are ready, if enough of us are willing to risk our jobs, our money, our time, our reputations, our egos, our everything, then I am in.

    Old news, I know, but I had to get that off my chest.

    But for real, people, let’s do more than just complain. We can start by mass-writing our legislative leaders. Any attention we can bring to this vindictive, fembot, craziness is a good place to start. Start writing now! Shame the men…let them know they are not bigger men for acting stupid! They are supposed to represent us all!

    We have got to get more organized and be willing to make history! I am a leader, not a follower, but I can’t do it all by myself. How many men out there, I wonder, will make me fight all by myself?

    When I wrote my comment above, I was in a rare mood. I still feel the way I did, but usually do not wear my emotions on my sleeve like that. (This doesn’t mean that I am not ready to fight—peacefully that is.) I am not going to “take to the streets” like I suggested until I am certain there is enough like-minded support that is for sure as ready too. So, call my outburst getting a feel for it all.

    However, I am glad I did leave the comment, because WOW! Little did I know that someone would respond with so much good information. Thanks for the support from someone willing to do so much to prep.

    I have always written my senators and reps over issues that bother me, including this one. I have been writing them for over two decades. I get responses from them most of the time but nothing seems to change. In addition to chivalrous fools, I suspect it is because not enough of us are writing them for it to make a difference. That is why it is so important that we all take a few minutes of our time to inform those that represent us too, to take action in favor of all Americans, not just women. So do it!!! Don’t let grass grow under your feet. Write and call—several times too—even members of congress that aren’t your reps and senators. This has helped Fathers and Families accomplish some of their wins, so if we all do it, it might help here too. Knowing it is tempting to be ugly and undiplomatic when we shout out our disapproval, but writing/calling with “hate” speech and other forms of ugliness, will get ignored. We should use their playing pieces and their playing board—their rules— to sneak up on them and whip their butts!

    Onehundredpercentcotton has taken the time to retrieve and provide the information for all of us, so there is no excuse for not following up. We may not think it will do any good, but as I say about my ideas on getting our fathers to rethink women and how they teach manhood to the boys, ( so boys will grow into men who react differently about women etc), we won’t know if it works unless we try. Even if it doesn’t work, it is better to find out our failures on the other side of having tried. It is foolish to not try. We are almost out of time and options are depleting right before our eyes.

    For sure, there are probably more women who need protection from real abusers than men (not counting all the false accusations, angry stares, middle fingers, and verbal rights to say what is on his mind… because those aren’t real danger for anyone), but men are being abused too and about just as much.

    It isn’t a matter of who can hurt who the most, it is a matter of fairness. If men and women are equal, then women have to be just as mature, equal, and emotionally in control of their own impulses. So they cannot use any violence either to punish and control others—else it’s is monkey see, monkey do—and all bets are off. This is the part some women forget to include in their so-called equality pursuit and it is up to the rest of us to remind them. If they can dish it out, they must be willing to take it. If they want to be equals then they must behave as so. If we give them an inch of rope they will take a mile…so cut them no slack over PMS or any other excuse that “he deserved it”. By the way men can say that “she deserved it” too, so to be effective, NO ONE should get to say that!

    I know most of the comment-makers on this site are already in agreement, but messages like these that I leave are for those just tuning in and are on the margins of beginning to see the real truth about radical feminism. It is they we must get to see, agree, and help because there is strength in numbers.

    Thank you onehundredpercentcotton for your contribution. Every bit helps!

    Despite our differences men, and consenting women, we must all stick together and fight or else we will be erased.

    TRUE EQUALITY for all, or no “equality” will do.

    Fellow readers and comment-makers. To help you get started, I have included a copy (to be used as a form letter) of my written pleas to my senators and congressman. Please use it to inform your leaders about how most sensible men feel. Remember, if you add anything, please do not be obscene, violent, or seemingly hateful. If you do show your butts, you will likely get ignored. Knowing most politicians are corrupt and filled with chivalry, nonetheless, if this is to have an impact, then decorum, diplomacy, and professionalism must prevail. Why mess up a chance to make a difference? Despite the urge to be provocative, Don’t…not there!

    Dear: (your senator/representative)
    Re: VAWA

    As you know, the VAWA is up for reauthorization this year. I am writing not to hope you do not pursue that. What I want you to consider is that it needs to be overhauled. What follows is partial list of what should be changed:

    1) The name need to be changed to reflect ALL Americans, both male and female. Thus, it should be called the VAP…violence against people. The name..”against women” is discriminatory and falsely indicates or implies that males do not undergo violence initiated by women. That is plain wrong!

    2) The funding (nearly a billion per year) needs to be split along gender lines because repeated and scholarly studies consistently show that females initiate near-equal violence toward males as males do to females. The issue is not who can hurt who the most. The issue is a matter of fairness. It flies in the face of equality for females to be able to hit males and get away with it or with less punishment. There is supposed to be equal treatment under the law. This act does not reflect the rights of males and considers males automatically guilty—not innocent until proven guilty, like it is supposed to be guaranteed. If females are truly equal in concept to males, then it has to be that females are also just as responsible for their impulses to not control and punish with acts of violence. Thus, they should not be getting away with hitting males no more than the other way around. All she has to do is walk away, just like what is expected of men. If this is not true in policy, then a mockery has been made of “equality”….and males are the losers.

    3) Attention needs to be given to the wording in the act, as well as training for judges, law enforcement, policy-makers and others. There are too many instances in which the male is automatically blamed —get this—even when she is the only one who hit or abused otherwise. If she is automatically believed, even without evidence, it is unconstitutional for men. It is imperative that you represent ALL Americans, not just women. Chivalry should play no role here at all.

    4) Wording needs to be included for perpetrators who commit false allegations. Such practices are rampant now with the act in force. Those who are proven to falsely accuse, should pay penalties which reflect what the innocently accused would have endured. Thus, this will help ensure that all claims are valid and real. If someone really needs help, they should get it. But if someone is exaggerating or lying (perjury), they should be punished!

    Please do not think I hate women. Nothing is farther from the truth. I love women. I do not want them to be abused. But as a man, I want the same protections, resources and training afforded to males as well.

    In summary, Please refuse to approve the bill unless it is overhauled according to the fair principles outlined above.

    Finally, The I-VAWA is beyond the scope of America. I do not like women being treated unfairly abroad (should that ACTUALLY be the case) but we simply do not have the money to finance such an endeavor. I am asking you to not approve this new government spending bill. Please say no and tell the world why!

    Thank you very much and I look forward to your reply.

    Best wishes and God bless you.

  20. Like all other totalitarian aspects of the post-constitutional UN-subservient US regime of recent decades VAWA cannot possibly continue to exist without the Federal Reserve public-dept inflation looting machine (and its enablers, the bribed-up-to-their-necks congressional shills). Get rid of the fractional reserve fiat monopoly and the top-down criminal control freaks cannot continue running the corrupt courts, the corrupt cabinet-created programs and the militarized police brutality build-up. We need to defund every single anti-constitutional program. No exceptions.
