The naked truth about
domestic violence
Here in a few
points:
It is now, and has always
been, an equal-opportunity problem. Almost anyone
regardless of gender or marital status, can be
affected.
What we think we know
about partner abuse has been radically altered and
colored by people with political and economic
ambitions.
In the US, we spend an
amount equal to the Canadian military budget on
this issue. This funds not practical solutions, but
only those people mentioned above.
While there has never been
any “epidemic” of partner abuse, there
has been an epidemic of anti-male and anti-family
sentiment. Again, to benefit those above.
Those in charge of
today’s domestic violence industry fight long
and hard to resist change, even though our society
is quite different than when the approaches still
in use today were invented by self-styled political
activists of the 1960s.
There was never any
objective, scientific study of the issue before
those same people (yet again) started devising
their story of partner abuse, which despite the
fact that it makes no sense whatsoever, has become
the national norm.
Bottom Line: It is only
about people keeping their jobs; no matter whether
their services properly served their communities.
OR NOT.

AND DISTRIBUTE THESE POINTS WHEREVER YOU
LIKE!
The political activists of
the 1960s are still in charge, and all your tax
dollars do is cut more checks for the old girls who
don’t know the ‘60s are over. Or they
already have their beach house in Maui and
don’t give a flying flamingo what happens to
those idiots in the world with no
influence.
Yes, there are countless
challenges to the New Perspectives approach. Not
one with any objective merit, sadly. Mostly what
the proponents of the old-style divorce/jail
approach do is cast aspersions on the character of
the person objecting to their ideas.
Their ideas would have
been considered a bizarre, flimsy, non-approach had
it been proposed in say, 2000 instead of
1970whatever. (Don’t ask me why it took
Congress until the 1990s to codify the nonsense
into law. But, it’s still all about times
past.)
Politics aside, meanwhile
real people need help. So where are they going to
get it?
Domestic Abuse Helpline
for Men and Women.
Again: VOTE VOTE
VOTE!!!!
You need to go to the
Pepsi Challenge site and vote! DAHMW is the only
nationwide org that helps male victims. Yes, they
also help female abusers, too. They know abuse is
not a gender issue.
It’s a family
issue.
Simple common sense tells
us that even if only one individual is targeted for
abuse, it still affects the whole family
anyway.
How many people remember
Dad or Mom being really mean to their brother or
sister? How many remember Dad or Mom hurting Dad
or Mom?
Sometimes abusers focus on
one individual in the family.
Yet the rest of the family
still knows about it.
You know this is true.
You’ve known families like that, almost for
sure.
Do you think it would help
any family you know to send Dad or Mom to jail, or
for the kids to have to go live in a facility away
from their house and school?
Could you imagine that
would be the only solution offered?
But it is.
Please support the
Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and
Women
Help a family stay
together.
