Why are some surprised that violence against women is taken more seriously?

March 42010

Men are far physically stronger than women. A hit from a woman can barely cause any damage while a hit from a man could seriously hurt a woman. That’s why that whole "don’t hit girls" thing came from and that’s why man on woman violence is taken more seriously than woman on man violence. Its really not that hard to figure out.

"A hit from a woman can barely cause any damage while a hit from a man could seriously hurt a woman." — Not true. I come across several women in my gym that can cause serious trauma to men if/when provoked, not to mention that the men may have to then look into adopting kids.

Why are high school girls so tolerant of rap music that promotes violence against women?

March 22010

It seems like high school girls are a big market for rap music, and they seem to buy rap music that promotes violence against women. Why wouldn’t they boycott those type of sounds and force the industry to stop promoting this kind of violence?

Best question on Y!A yet! I’ve been wondering that for YEARS! Why any woman would listen to that is beyond me. I’ve never listened to it even when I was in high school. Actually, I wouldn’t even date a guy who DID listen to it. To me if he could enjoy that kind of talk (or rap) going on then that was just to "iffy" for me. I have nothing against rap in general, just the type that is grossly violent or about women being just something to do and that’s it.

Thanks for bringing this up! Kudos to you! (and a star :)

what is the value of a research on "violence against women" in a social policy field?

February 222010

what is the value of a research article on "violence against women" in a social policy field?

any answer would be appreciated :)
thanks!

if we evaluate the research, we would realize that subjugation of women continues unabated. research will show that men need education, need guidance. yet, nothing is done and hence violence continues. we shld use the research to come up with proper social policies and with certain enforcement aspect that will bring men to their rightful sense that women are not toys to be battered. ‘cos the world is still dominated by men in top political social offices that the problem continues. u shld read the www.bahai.org where it shows how such violence can be averted and a new society where women take their rightful place in the governance of society is heralded. and education of women takes prime importance.

will expunging eliminate (Lautenberg Amendment to the Violence Against Women Act) my 2nd amend rights?

February 202010

I was convicted of a misdeameanor domestic voilence charge and had my record expunged in California. After 10 years I can own a gun. Lautenberg Amendment to the Violence Against Women Act prevent me from owning a gun if in the United States? Please give me reference website supporting your answers,,,Thank you
Will the lautenberg amendment prevent me from ever owning a gun?

There is no such thing as expunging a conviction in California; there is the phony-baloney quasi-dismissal under PC 1203.4 that unscrupulous lawyers advertise to be an expungement to make money for filing it, but it expressly does not have any effect on gun issues [nor on many other issues], and hence it is not a dismissal for purposes of the federal ban for domestic violence convictions.

What is the government of the Republic of Congo, doing about violence against women in their country?

It doesn’t matter, here in this country, we are only worrying about trivial issues, such as two men marrying each other.
