Oiy vey!
Published by R. Mildred May 23rd, 2006A note to the “what about the men?” commenter, those women’s Domestic violence shelters weren’t created through the amazing socialist policies of the american government, they were built and created from scratch by feminists.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you can do the same, you just need faith in yourself. And once you’ve got such a thing up and running feminists will support you, if only because it stops having to listen to the constant whining from MRAs about it.
I do hope the illogical of sticking abused men in the same shelters as abused women, and the inevitable abuses that would lead to segregation being neccesary anyway, doesn’t have to be pointed out to you.
Blame The Patriarchy, then Bush and his immoral gutting of the social services as well as his bullshit use of patriarchal identity politics which means that no Butch Manly American political weasel will vote to protect men from domestic violence, because that would involve noting that men aren’t inherently dominant and involve helping homosexuals, both of which are anathema in the current socio-political climate. Seriously, all snark aside, feminists would love for such abused men’s shelters to exist, we’re not standing in your way.
Well put.
And yeah; it’s true that there’s a stigma against men asking for help or being seen as victims, not to mention the whole homophobia issue; but damn, they’re kind of gonna have to work that one out themselves.
