does anyone know any unique slogans against domestic violence on men?

June 32010

in school we have to make a poster against domestic violence on men, and i thought it would be a good idea to have a slogan. please help!

-Domestic abuse: An equal opportunity industry.
-"Dad taught me to never hurt girls…" (with a pic of a guy with a black eye below it)
or if that one is too subtle: ""Dad taught me to never hurt girls… …too bad her Mom didn’t think the same" (same kind of pic)
-"Domestic abuse? But I’m GAY!." (pic of women with a black eye) <-Yes I know it doesn’t directly involve men, it’s purpose is to VERY subtly say that women can be abusive too. (Probably too subtle for school)
-It’s ok, she doesn’t hit very hard.
-I deserved it.
-No, that frying pan doesn’t make you look fat. (Then again, perhaps humor isn’t the way to go.)

Domestic Violence – abusive woman

May 272010

Women usually get away with this kind of abuse. If a man would be the perpetrator he most likely would be arrested and charged.

Domestic Violence

May 172010

Just talkin about somethin I think is important!

thicksisters@yahoo.com

1−800−799−SAFE  (hotline)

One in four women (25%) has experienced domestic violence in her lifetime.

Almost 6 times as many women victimized by intimates (18%) as those victimized by strangers (3%) did not report their violent victimization to police because they feared reprisal from the offender.

Annually, compared to males, females experienced over 10 times as many incidents of violence by an intimate. On average each year, women experienced 572,032 violent victimizations at the hands of an intimate, compared to 48,983 incidents committed against men.

Estimates range from 960,000 incidents of violence against a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend to 3 million women who are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend PER YEAR.

Does this collection of studies paint a different picture of domestic violence?

May 162010

http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm

It makes me wonder why so little attention is given to domestic violence against men when seemingly they are affected just as much

Yes, it is true that the DV industry (a multimillion dollar industry) has powerful political and financial reasons to continue the biased status quo. And it is true that women abuse men at almost exactly the same rate that men abuse women (but most men and women abuse no one). It is also true that one of mainstream feminism’s most spectacular successes has been portraying DV as a one-way street (men bad, women good) and the creation of VAWA.

However, those successes notwithstanding, MRA groups are starting to coalesce into larger and more focused groups. So I think that mainstream feminism has reached its apogee with the Obama administration. I think that you will see more and more successes racked up by MRAs in the next couple of decades, while mainstream feminism declines or morphs into something less toxic.

Edit: As one example of mainstream feminism’s dishonest nonsense, see below comment from an alleged professor. MRAs had to carry the legal battle for ANY DV services to state supreme courts (with mainstream feminists battling with all their might at every level of court) before gaining those services. California was the most important win, because other states began to capitulate after that. And men’s DV centers are still outnumbered by women’s DV centers by a ratio of roughly 100:1.

And the equal male/female perpetrator frequency of DV is so extensively documented (as the link you provide does nicely, see also the family violence research center at U. New Hampshire) that it is absurdly dishonest to contend otherwise.

Did mainstream feminists really think that this would never get out? Indeed, the vehemence with which mainstream feminists deny the data of hundreds of studies suggest that they simply have little or no ethics and are largely motivated by hatred of men.

Equality – Discrimination Against Men

May 112010

Looks at just one example of the severe discrimination against men in the UK in a supposedly male-dominated society.

Compares womens voting rights discrimination in the past, with men’s pension rights discrimination in the present day. Looks at the consequences for men regarding lifespan.
Also considers another example of discrimination against men from the US, concerning registration for the military draft.

Forms part of the Equality: Suffrage and UK Voting Rights film on this channel, but I thought it worth it’s own short clip.

Why is it funny when men get hurt ( TV or real life), do people not think men get hurt?

May 112010

Men get hurt its comedy . Women get hurt you think terrorist attack happen. Men do feel pain you know. We just soak it up because we don’t wanna be called soft and get this……non manly…… It backfires everywhere to domestic violence against men( yes it happens) to Substantially less medical research for men compare to women. Society definitely desensitize male violence make it seem like men can take anything hence "Im okay: funny line, and its a problem.

What do you think ?

Yes, your spot on.

Feminist have used the fact that Men won’t tell anyone that she is abusive toward him. Feminist know men will keep quiet about their physically abusive wives. No man wants to be shamed, by the fact that his wife slaps him around.

Then when the truth about female abuse and violence comes to light it’s always down played.

I saw on the the news tonight a clip of that Jon & Kate. I never watched the show, but appearantly Kate was really abusive to Jon.

The newscaster and the gang of experts, said it was Jon’s fault for not standing up for himself. Had the roles been reversed they would have described Kate as a battered and abused woman and Jon a monster.

We are conditioned not to take FEMALE VIOLENCE seriously. I’ve seen time and time again, women right here in this section saying, "Women can’t hurt a man.", "Men shouldn’t hit back, because women get injuried." and a whole host of other excuses as to why women should take no more responsibility than a child. Feminists will say anything to ignore the issue of female violence.

Many women feel it is their right to strike a man. Female violence is glorified in Pop Culture and gives women the wrong idea.

The sad truth is Men land up paying the price for Female Violence with criminal arrest and a record that lasts a life time. How can you blame someone for instinctively defending themselves? How can you blame a man for a reflexive action that was provoked?

The police don’t care why the man hit back and he will be the only one punished, while the woman will be heroed as a victim. While the man is in jail and in a mess costing thousands of dollars in lawyer fees, usually losing his job, friends and family, the woman is offered protection and is empowered by all domestic violence social workers contacting her and never addressing the fact that she is a violent person, as if it doesn’t exist.

Basically the woman is rewarded for her own Violent behavior and the guy pays a heavy price.

Pretty F&cken great job done by Feminism.
