Joe Biden, democratic V.P. candidate and creator of the Violence Against Women Act, had a 30 minute sit down with Hillary Clinton to discuss women's issues. Much of the discussion was related to domestic violence. Not one mention of male victims or female perpetrators was made. Gay and lesbian partner violence was also left out of the discussion. This video was posted by the Obama campaign. Comments posted to the video are moderated. The only comments allowed are ones in agreement. Many MRA's have posted their opinions but have been blocked.
Domestic Violence and Black Widows
In America, the domestic violence laws are based on VAWA (Violence Against Women Act). This leaves men with no recourse when in need of help from an abusive female partner. Feminists often cite the department of justice statistics that 79% of domestic violence arrests were of men who abused women. The problem with these stats are that they do not show unreported cases. Other problems occur, such as the fact that men often feel embarrassed about making a report. A study from the Australian Bureau of Statistics called PSS or Personal Safety Survey show that men are actually rather likely to be hit by a wife or girlfriend. This offers hope since it has prompted American and British organizations to do the same studies which show that men are equally if not more likely than women to be victims of intimate partner violence. Why does the U.S. congress wish to add a $1 billion upgrade to VAWA and push it to other countries with the International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA)?
Another alarming trend is the bias in the court cases of women who murder their husbands. Many of them play the victim card, which is predictable at this point. Sometimes the evidence points so far in the direction of premeditated murder, yet many women who murder their husbands only receive a few years in jail as long as she says she was abused. I suppose this is the new excuse for wives to murder their hubbies in America. Men who are convicted of killing a spouse have to work much harder to claim they were abused and are generally held accountable by our system, with much stronger sentences. Blaming the victim only works if for females.

Police: Dirty dishes led to woman's rampage
From the article: "A 20-year-old woman faces an aggravated assault charge after she bit her boyfriend, broke a picture frame across his face and swung at him with a sword during an argument about him not doing the dishes, police said." The woman had also asked the man to leave and he refused. Instead of calling the police on him she used violence and weapons. Also note that she was charged with aggravated assault and not domestic assault as a man who did the same thing and was arrested for it would have been.
Freedom for woman who kept trying to kill disabled husband
A 61-year-old woman attempted to kill her disabled husband several times. At one point she attempted to drown him but couldn't go through with it. She called the police and told them she was attempting to murder her husband. She was arrested and charged with attempted murder. Then, her charge was reduced to making threats to kill. She was sentenced to 100 hours community service. Tony Rhodes of the National Carers’ Forum said "I feel a great deal of sympathy for this lady." After all, sympathy is exactly what she needs, not jail time.
Domestic Abuse Helpline For Men and Women
STOP grants through the Violence Against Women Act (V.A.W.A.) put millions of dollars in federal funding to educating social workers about handling DV victims, educating law enforcement and establishing hotlines and shelters.

Domestic Abuse Helpline For Men and Women (DAHMW) has raised $390 in donations from 16 people. Go to the website and see for yourself. Federal funding, please.
Draconian 498- a law that affects NRIs
From the article: "The Domestic Violence Act which was passed in 2005 at the instigation by radical feminist groups, especially the National Commission on Women, who have the quiet sponsorship of the ruling party in India.

Cops: Woman Stabbed Hubby for Opening Christmas Gift Early

He called the police and she was arrested for "aggravated assault and battery, a felony, and misdemeanor domestic battery." She is out on $7,500 bond.

Questions: If a man did the same thing to his wife would he have been charged with attempted murder? Would his bond he higher than hers?

Reject Domestic Abuse Law Male-Bashing
This blog entry does a great job of describing how domestic abuse law in America protects one gender (women) by bashing the other (men). This type of legislation, based on hate, has to end if we as a society are going to address abuse problems effectively. Protecting one group of victims has created and entirely new class of them. Even men who have not been hit by a female partner still have to put up with male-bashing in the form of being demonized by misandric ideology and socially sanctioned public male-bashing.
