“A Crime Against Women”

Posted By Walter Schneider On January 8, 2008 @ 1:56 pm In Anorexia Nervosa, Propaganda Exposed, Women's Violence | 1 Comment

From a feminist source of “facts” and “news”:

Get the [feminist] facts on domestic violence and women’s rights, including feminist news on violence against women: [1] Domestic Violence Info Center at the Feminist Majority Foundation.

The vast majority of domestic assaults are committed by men. Even when men are victimized, 10% are assaulted by another man. In contrast, only 2% of women who are victimized are assaulted by another woman.

Let’s assume for a moment that those statistics are correct. In that case, “when men are victimized”, and if “10% are assaulted by another man,” that means that 90% of all violent assaults against men are by women perpetrators of violence against men, and that if “only 2% of women who are victimized are assaulted by another woman,” then the other 98% of women victims of violence are being victimized by men.

That means that men and women get victimized in roughly equal proportion by members of the opposite sex, but that virtually all funding for catering to victims of violence goes only to women. The question that comes out of that is: Why exactly is that is a crime against women? Is it that women get all of the funding and men get none?

However, logic has never been a feminist strong-point. Feminists have a name for logic. They call it “patriarchal linear thinking.” Feminists deplore logic and even hold it to be an offence.

The figure of 21 male spousal murder victims is based on the annual average of about one quarter of spousal murder victims that are identified being male. In that context it is necessary to recognize the importance of the following statement by Eeva Sodhi: “Considering that a significant number of homicides remain unsolved we can only deduce that the number of men killed by their female partners will never be known.” Time and again, when women murder men, the murders routinely go undetected as such for a very long time (poison is one of women’s favorite murder weapons), and the victim’s murderer therefore goes unpunished or receives at worst only a token of punishment years after she did her deed. In the case of violent murders of men a female perpetrator is one of the last parties to be suspected and the least likely to be convicted, by far.

In light of those statistics, why do Alberta women’s shelters receive as much as $13 million in funding annually, and men’s shelters not only receive no funding at all but aren’t even granted an operating licence? How come [feminist] hatred of men runs that deep? ([11] More)
