Spotlight on male victims of domestic abuse

March 62010

Those who suffer abuse are now being urged to seek help as part of a nationwide awareness week.

Ian McNicholl told Sky News he had been trapped in a terrifying violent relationship.

He described how his former partner, Michelle Williamson, squirted bleach in his eyes, forced lit cigarettes up his nose and burnt his arms with a hot iron.

She also smashed his shoulder with a hammer with such ferocity that the handle snapped.

“It gets worse without you realising,” he explained.

“You can’t seem to think for yourself or separate fact from fiction. You just want to keep her happy by complying and keeping her happy.

“As bizarre as it sounds, I still loved her.”

As Mr McNicholl found himself on the brink of committing suicide, a concerned neighbour alerted the police and his 10-month ordeal came to an end.

In April 2009, Williamson was sentenced at Grimsby Crown Court to serve a total of 18 years in prison.

Mr McNicholl is now slowly rebuilding his life and is about to have reconstructive surgery on his fractured eye sockets.

He told Sky News: “The fear of repercussions certainly stops people from reporting things.

“At one stage I was walking into the same newsagent with a new black eye or injury every day. Nobody said or did anything.”

A new TV advert will be part of a week-long awareness campaign.

Dr Steve Connor from the National Centre for Domestic Violence said: “As a man, it can be difficult to admit that you are being abused.

“As the advert points out, a man might feel ashamed, embarrassed or worried that he may be considered less of a man by speaking out against his abuser.”

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 lowdown on domestic violence against men part 1

December 132009

Companion article with sources:
http://www.true-equality.net/archive/2008/05/11/the-lowdown-on-domestic-violence-against-men.aspx

This video is essentially a slight remake of my “Domestic violence – Ignoring the victims” video.
It contains a great deal of new material but I did it for reasons I shall reveal in time..

I have moved back indoors as it was becoming increasingly difficult to find a quiet place to make the video in an uninterrupted way.

Like all my other videos today — this one is split into two parts too. I would like to stop this but youtube insists not, even though I have directors account, I cannot upload videos longer than 10 minutes long. What a load of bull, youtube is not the best at providing you with a way to contact them.

[corrections]
I said “Erin Pizney” it is “Erin Pizzey”.
