Men’s rights group file domestic violence lawsuit
December 212009
A men’s rights group claims the domestic violence system is skewed toward women.
Today, a lawsuit was filed in Sacramento court, claiming that male victims don’t get the same help as female victims.
“I remember going to phone 911, saying get here now, I’m going to kill him!” said Ruth Woods.
They fought all the time, often over money. Things sometimes got violent.
“I do it. I do hit. I do slap,” said Ruth.
“She reaches a point when she’s angry, you look in her eyes, there’s no one there,” said Ruth’s husband, David Woods.
Ruth’s longtime husband, David, says he’s a former bouncer who didn’t want to hit back.
“If I hit her, I could kill her,” said David.
But David claims when he went to local agencies for help, for shelter, he got nowhere.
“I was told women are not the perpetrators, they are the victims,” said David.
Now, a lawsuit has been filed, claiming that men are treated unfairly. According to the suit, state law even excludes male victims from domestic violence help. The health and safety code section will pay for things like housing, hotel rooms and counseling–but only for women and not men.
David insists he tried to get help from the group WEAVE–Women Escaping A Violent Environment–but was turned down.
“I was told no by weave four times,” said David.
WEAVE could not comment on the suit, neither could the state; they haven’t seen it yet. But WEAVE is adamant they help men, too.
“We do provide shelter services,” said Michelle Coleman, WEAVE director of crisis services. “At WEAVE we provide services to everyone.”
Tell that to David, who believes that help for men is pretty scarce. In fact, even his wife believes that and his daughter too. They all think when it comes to domestic violence the deck is stacked in favor of women.
“If a man takes it, he’s a pansy, a sissy. If he defends himself, he’s an abuser. He just should be put in jail,” said David.
“It’s a slap in the face to my gender. What is this, animal farm?” asked Maegan Black, David and Ruth’s daughter.
WEAVE insists men do get help, but fewer men ask for it than women do.

the courts …
the courts ALWAYS blame it on the man. No matter what. They always say if a woman hits a man, it’s because she is defending herself. If a man hits a woman, it’s assult and the man goes to jail, and the county gets money for prosicuting them. and the man loses his right to own a gun. It’s all revenue. All a way to take your rights away. All a way to fill the jails up. The courts saw this as a huge way to make money, knowing that most all couples fight in one way or the other.

The mainstream media is a dysfunctional piece of garbage. That is the purpose of the internet – to bypass the traditional media and bring the missing information to the people.

If women were not getting the services the media would immediatly go undercover to find out. I think they know what the results would be if they pretened to be an abused man looking for help

Male victims should …
Male victims should be helped and healed, not arrested, incarcerated, and stigmatized. The domestic violence system is not only skewed toward the female sex, it is also clogged up with false allegations. Most allegations of domestic violence filed by women against men are false. A million false allegations of domestic violence are filed every year and cost taxpayers billions of US$.

It is something all should bear in mind.
A person should be respected as a human being, regardless of whether they are a man or a woman. Domestic violence is wrong no matter who is is perpetuated by and who it is against.

“Bestowing civil rights on one group does not have to mean, and shouldn’t mean the oppression of another.”
You should tell that to Feminists.

I have to ask what …
I have to ask what you mean by feminism. Do you mean the civil rights movement to give women equal rights in the workplace and promote recognition of the female intellect or do you mean man hating “feminazis” because the two are not one and the same.
Bestowing civil rights on one group does not have to mean, and shouldn’t mean the oppression of another.

Violence towards …
Violence towards men by women is constantly portrayed in the mainstream media. The feminism in the US has destroyed the American nuclear family, caused an increase in crime by minors, increased homelessness/suicide rates among males, no fault divorce rates of 65%. and men never getting to see their children.

This is how you find out the laws and the politics. When your deep in it.
Don’t be fooled. There is no doubt in my mind she knew exactly what she was doing raising at me and telling the police this crap.
I’m the dummy. I had no idea.
I’m a big guy and a former rodeo Cowboy.
Completly crushed me this could and would happen.
The aftermath. My reputation. Business. Friends. Family turned against me.
Don’t believe a thing these say. Accused=Guilty..Bullshit!!!

They always will unless men stand up and fight back, woman’s groups are helping women take men’s jobs, men’s rights to be fathers, and to underline this to the women being brain washed by woman’s groups, these women are NOT out for your rights, they are wanting stuff for themselves with out even working for it, they do NOT care about you, men need to start standing up for themselves, nobody has a right to touch another human being in this fashion, male or female…

Quoted for Truth, women get away with anything.

Woman believe they …
Woman believe they have that right to abuse men, it’s always been there, but most men did not say anything due to embarrassment, women are often mentally abusive as well, been through both, abuse is abuse, why should a woman have that right? And truthfully if a man admitted it like this woman, you’d have all the stupid women groups calling him down.
