Domestic violence, even the mention of the word evokes the image is larger than life destroyed some, a woman on the street a poster, a day glow orange crush hot-line number on her face, and a catchy slogan like “Love should not hurt .
And no, I’m not insensitive to battered women. My heart goes to actual victims. But when you see pictures of killers on billboards, I’ll probably be less offended, view the photos of abused women and children who supported hungry on your TV at two clock in the morning you will feed, clothe and send to Harvard for $ 12 per month.
The myth is simple and the credulous. Domestic violence is committed almost exclusively by men against women. Even better, it does stick to beat the shit out of Mary Poppins to burn toast. And here and there, it’s true. But if you think you define the problem, not even close, you need Dr. Phil to take your TiVo to-do list and start a real collection books.
This nonsense does not come from nothing. This was and is the reason for the feminist demands of patriarchal domination, and how extended the house and family. All beliefs depends on the idea that male dominance is dominated by men. And on the surface it makes sense, especially if you remember. And of course if the idea spread like chlamydia in a domestic cat.
But let us examine now. They deserve much more depth than in audio.
I will start a search that most feel has been a trusted source. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA. This is a summary of their findings in the American Journal of Public Health, May 2007 published. First, almost 24% of all relations a certain level of violence. Half of these relationships in which one partner to be violent. The rest was violent on both sides. Now has committed in relationships where violence has been a person more than 70% of women had been committed.
Do you understand? In any relationship in this particular study, more than 7 in 10 offenders were women.
Let us close look at the data on the relationship that both partners are violent. This average is even more interesting than the first part.
The study found that another abusive relationship rather to cause injury, especially for women were. They also have a strong predictor of future repeated violence for women but not men. In other words, were women who engage in combat, the common cause with men much more of a pattern of repeated attacks. men’s violence was more likely to be isolated and, contrary to repeated claims by feminists, is not likely to repeat. Well, I will present the results in a clearer form of the English language. Relationships where both are often violent to women, to do evil. These relationships are also used by women who make a lot more as men and to maintain that violence are marked in the first place.
We have a common expression for much of the violence of men in these situations.
This is called the shots.
I know there is no excuse for violence. Sometimes, some would say. But it is not legal, moral justification and the belief of many self-defense. In any case, it’s appeal after a trial period, and was done only after an attack. To be fair to point out that this study, for many reasons, including the methodology, not enough can be generalized to the entire population. And a study itself is quite easy to challenge, even from a sound source. So let us more than a hundred.
Professor John Archer is a psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire and the estimated head Aggression Research Group at the same university. In his analysis of 100 British and American Studies, concludes that women are more likely than men to initiate violence in their relationships and often rather aggressive. It also deals with the myth that only women are violent as a matter of self-reports that 29% of places for physically attacked their friends when they perceived no threat.
I know that feminists not convinced of this, that hundreds of studies, we see anyway. Professor Martin S. Fiebert of California State University Psychology Department conducted an analysis of 249 scientific studies, 194 empirical studies and 55 articles relating to domestic violence. The total size of the sample number to more than 241,700 people have reviewed studies.
Fiebert party? Women are physically aggressive or physical aggression in relationships than men. And if you think the impact of women on male violence by women, who suffer more injuries in the hands of men, is mitigated think again. Studies are very mixed. Some of them put women at higher risk, but instead many of them men. Looking Fiebert annotated bibliography, which includes a large number of studies, there are many other studies that women are more likely to cause serious damage, even with the use of weapons, than men.
Are there other studies that this contradiction? Sure. But there is a considerable amount of evidence sufficient to make three things clear as crystal.
1st Domestic Violence is not a product of its kind Assigned to belong to one sex is to another not only misleading, in fact, prevented efforts to resolve the problem.
2nd The company is extremely poorly informed about the nature, origin and realities of domestic violence.
3rd Most of our political and legal management of family violence is on myths and reality, so we eliminated all of our resources in the half the problem.
As in many other things, it shows a trend toward cultural renewal of reality, embrace even lie when the truth about the fairer sex seems not so nice.
to say Well, many people in their heads: “Well, we will focus our attention on the treatment of perpetrators and victims of violence, regardless of their gender.” But things are not so easy to say, is a monumental understatement.
Richard Gelles is now the dean of the University of Pennsylvania and the Joanne and Raymond Welsh Chair of the protection of children and domestic violence in the School of Social Policy and Practice. He is an internationally recognized expert on domestic violence, and influenced the passage of the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997.
Gelles writes about his work with Suzanne Steinmetz and Murray Strauss, “The response to our conclusion that warms the ratio of female to male violence, the rate for men in female violence not only scientific criticism produced but is intense and long-term personal attacks. All three have received death threats. bomb threats were telephoned conference centers and buildings where they were due. “Now it’s up to me, or called threats of terrorist attacks and murder of a strange way for non-violent protest?
What the evidence, however, could easily argue that domestic violence is a woman rather than a problem of the male. There are still many studies support this conclusion. But it would be as absurd as the current paradigm, and can lead to in my car, start the next time you beat him.
So for those of you screaming for me to finish the game with women and sex from the equation, that is exactly what I do. And what I ask you, once and for all. If you really believe that all violence is bad and should not be tolerated, so here is what you can do to prove it.
Write to the Vice President Biden and tell him to seek an end to violence against women (VAWA), the author of legislation issued by the billions to women victims leave, but the people are wholly outside the image. Men are, after all the hurt by domestic violence, too. 835,000 per year in the United States.
Home shelters to take into account operational and social services if they do not have programs designed for real men. In the absence of such institutionalized sexism is to do and have to go.
In an interview with the police and prosecutors for their actions. Men, the police for help when they are attacked by their partners, are more likely to call are not taken into custody, regardless of the circumstances.
Victims should be supported, not arrested, imprisoned and stigmatized.
Make sure their opposition to the boycott and the media and companies like Pepsi and FedEx, that men express abuse as a gag to use in their advertising.
If you see or hear a public announcement that something like “A woman is abused at home every 15 seconds, says,” is to recognize that it is a reality, a deception, the public, semi-complex truth, based blind fanaticism and cruel indifference of the victimization of men.
There is some good early, but the best way to start simply and publicly acknowledge what few seem to know. Domestic violence has nothing to do with what you were having sex. Never. Disinformation is a poor way to address social problems. In fact, some breeds of them.
