NOW president Terry O’Neill:
"I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it. That’s what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don’t find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself. "

In 1996, NOW blackmailed the network into running an PSA that stated Super Bowl Sunday was the day with the highest rate of domestic violence, based on a study that didn’t exist. The national news also ran the story without checking the source.
Give me a break, Tim is an outstanding guy and should be a real role model to kids. This is a guy who has been spending summers almost his whole life on missionary assignments with his parents helping people who really need it. Tim is a guy that raised over $300,000 while at the University of Florida to help people less fortunate then himself. He is a leader and he is going to be able to use his good fortune from the NFL and his football career to continue what is really important to him and that of course is helping others, letting them know somebody cares. That is rare today in big time athletics, a lot of these guys are too worried about how much money they are getting in their contract and what is the next car or house they will buy, Tim is not and he has actual plans for his good fortune. NOW was all over this ad before it was shown and were looking for anything to make another story out of it.
The Human Rights Group at City of Sunderland College take a stand against domestic violence and violence against women.

Personally, I see it as a good thing that domestic violence has fallen by half, but it has been falling for the last 20-years. The most significant change from the improved training of police officers, as a result of the Violence Against Women Act, that has driven down the rates, is the major increase in the arrest of women for domestic violence. Check arrest reports, and especially talk to any female police officer, and you will find that almost 40% of DV arrests are women, with the majority by female officers. That, in and of itself, is significant, in that female officers make up only 13% of police forces. I hope they keep up the good work and that the Associations for Female Police Officers & Women in Law Enforcement will push to mandate female officers be at least on of the responding officers on all domestic disturbance calls.
Check any study on domestic violence, but look at the data charts instead of just reading the summary and you find that men are the victims in 39% of the cases.
The story is reprinted from the Washington Post. As for the rest, search under DV against men. I’ve worked with the male victims for 18 years.

A good study is Murder in Families by the US Justice Dept. What’s the most common factor found in women you batter men? They account for 55% of fatal child abuse, on their own childrem, compared to that committed by anyone. Fathers are 8%, stepmothers/girlfriends are 9% & stepfathers/boyfriends are 10%. Numbers don’t change when custody arrangements are taken into account.
To learn how men can be victims, rent the movie MEN DON’T TELL. Also, talk to any female police officer. The most common form of battery against men is with a frying pan while he is watching TV or sleeping. Wxamples of it are seen all the time in comedies and in comic strips.
Yes, I was a victim once, of a thrown pot of coffee, but my wife had developed Bipolar disease. I sent her away 2 years ago and treatment has helped her. The only reason I don’t bring her back now is that she is being sued for injuries she caused someone else, and if I bring her back, they can add my income to the lawsuit, taking everything I own. We have to wait until it is settled.
Of interest, I just took home a young woman from the KCKS jail. She was arrested on a DV involving 2 broken wine bottles. Neither had been drinking. The argument was over her being 2 hours late getting home from a movie with friends. She didn’t call to say she was running late. There is a baby and the arresting officer was female. I offered to help them get into counseling.
DV rates for women are not going down. You site rates for men? they are rising because a few of them are learning to speak up.
p.s. awfully white of you, all your research, and offers of "help". Keep trying, K? ’cause we need guys like you to misread the figures and then muck about trying to help.
This may surprise feminists, but according to a recent survey, women were found to be more likely to commit nonreciprocal domestic violence against their partner, than men.

Do feminists think we should continue to ignore domestic violence that women commit against men? We still live in a world where men who are abused by their girlfriends and wives are not taken seriously, and are ridiculed. Feminists often do not take male abuse victims seriously.
This is yet another double-standard against men, that feminists willingly ignore. Why?
Rio Madeira: Canada has murders?
first of all i am a woman but not a feminist. i believe all forms of abuse (ie child, spousal whether male or female, animal and elder abuse) need to have a focus on them to raise awareness and seek resolution.
let me say this, when my husband and i first started dating, i would get mad at him for something hurtful he might have said, and not knowing how to deal with the hurt feelings i would lash out physically, (maybe hit him in the arm or something or get an overwhelming urge to throw something at him). i didn’t realize that type of reaction could have led me down a road of being abusive. i had an older brother and we fought like cats and dogs sometimes. throwing each other on the floor or up against a wall and hitting each other. it took me a little while to learn how to control my feelings of anger and pain and put those feelings into words. i am glad i recognized the problem before it became a real problem. mine wasn’t a problem of needing to dominate or make myself feel bigger or stonger, it was a problem of knowing how to deal with emotional pain. anyway, that is just from a woman’s perspective. no one should get abused, including men.
1) The VAWA law was enacted in response to research conducted internationally that found, amongst other things that:
"Between 17 per cent and 38 per cent of women have suffered physical assaults by a partner."
Which body conducted that research, and how many nations was it conducted in?
2) Following concerns of gender bias in VAWA, the US enacted an anti discrimination clause which stated that the VAWA was equally applicable, in terms of both funding and legal protection to crimes of domestic violence committed against men.
In what year was this amendment passed?
3) Since the enactment of VAWA, there has been a significant reduction in both domestic violence and fatalities caused by spousal abuse in the US.
How much has the rate of domestic violence perpetrated against women been reduced in the US since VAWA was enacted?

————————————————————————————
Women are less likely than men to be victims of violent crimes overall.
5 year old boys in the USA are twice as likely than girls to be murdered .
Men are one fifth as likely as women to be acquitted of the same crime.
Men are 16% more likely to be imprisoned for the same crime.
Men receive prison sentences almost three times as long as women for the same crime.
Men are half as likely as women to use a knife or to contract to kill their spouse.
Men are one seventh as likely as women to kill their children.
The increase in the male suicide rate killed an additional 573,307 men.
The increase in the male murder rate killed an additional 475,000 men.
One third of men in prison for rape don’t even match the DNA evidence found at the "crime scene".
Men are 5 times more likely to be murdered or commit suicide than women.
Men constitute 96% of workplace fatalities, have a 7 year shorter life expectancy than women
They deserve more than a footnote in a major law, IMO.
This was a video made by me and ma frends for a class project. It highlights crimes against women. Domestic Violence, Marital Rape, Incest. Most memorable project ever.

In Europe, domestic violence is the major cause of death and disability for women 15-44 years of age. In the US a woman is raped every six minutes. In North Africa, 6,000 women are genitally mutilated each day. In 2001, more than 15.000 women were sold as sexual slaves in China and more than 7,000 women were murdered by their families in India.
War, greed, a warped sense of family honor, sexual jealousy, mental illness, unstable emotional response from husbands/boyfriends, power trips, drugs and alcohol.
More women are being arrested for domestic violence…who thinks these are mostly victims who scratched their man’s face defending themselves, and who thinks women initiate at least as much violence against men, as men do against women?
I am a woman who just got arrested for domestic battery trying to protect her 2yr old son and because I did what as a mother comes instinctively and that’s to protect their child, I bit his arm and spent 24 hrs in jail. He had a mark on him and I didn’t! Financially, this has cost over $3000 to hire a lawyer try to get my record clean.
I heard that domestic violence against women is at its height during the Super Bowl. Why don’t the women leave during the Super Bowl and then return after wards? Would this not be a simple way to avoid this problem?
This is more hysterical nonsense and flat out not true. Don’t believe every "advocate" preaching the end of the world.
