Domestic
violence facts counter Devine's fiction
by Harry Crouch
Denis Devine's Valentine Day's present ("Heroes needed
in fight against sexism," Perspective, Feb. 20) is a
half-empty box of chocolates.
There is no evidence substantiating men perpetrate more than 90
percent of domestic violence as reported by Devine. In fact, the San
Diego Office of Crime Prevention last year found 26 percent of the
county's domestic violence arrests were women.
Hundreds of academic studies from numerous Westernized countries show
women abuse men as much or more than men abuse women! Few studies
suggest otherwise, though skewed domestic violence industry
"stake-holder" reports are abundant.
Moreover, females commit the majority of child abuse, elder abuse,
almost all child murders (not counting abortions), and most bullying in
schools.
Women kill their partners more than is commonly believed. Women hire
killers, seduce people to murder, and use poison, the latter often hard
to trace while creating the appearance of natural death. These killers
seldom show up in domestic violence or murder statistics. Incidentally,
the average prison sentence for male murderers is 17 years versus seven
for women.
Paternity
fraud, parental alienation and false accusations satisfy legal
definitions of domestic violence. Women commit all paternity fraud
annually, victimizing millions of people, men and their families of
choice. Women commit the overwhelming majority of parental alienation
and false accusations. False accusations gain advantage in divorce,
child custody and child support disputes. Coupled with false
accusations, parental alienation is pure spite. Estimated rates of false
accusations run 40 percent to 90 percent, depending upon the type of
accusation(s).
Most male domestic-violence-related deaths are suicides. Men kill
themselves four times more frequently than women, and 10 to 12 times
more frequently when relationships end, because men have nowhere to
turn.
In fact, California law excludes men from legally being "victims" for
the purposes of receiving funding for related support services, another
abuse of males, young and older, while California women have more
services and abuse excuses than Carter's proverbial pills.
The "90+ percent" myth is central to all "gender (power) feminist"
efforts to minimize female violent behaviors and achieve legal, social,
governmental and cultural power and control; hence, the difference
between the findings of various studies and actual arrest rates. So
central are they that until recently, openly discussing
lesbian-on-lesbian violence branded any feminist a traitor and heretic.
Power feminist hyperbole, myth, propaganda, political correctness and
chauvinism support the belief that men primarily perpetrate domestic
violence, not truth.
Lynndie England's smile while torturing Iraqi prisoners pretty much
says it all.
Many experts argue the ideologically driven domestic-violence
industry causes more violence than it prevents, destroys otherwise
intact families and labels people criminals, mostly men, for the mildest
of infractions ---- all more abuse and violence by definition.
Devine's Valentine's Day present gave us 10 typical domestic-violence
industry, politically correct recommendations for men to help reduce
violence against women, and none for women to help reduce violence
against men. The recommendations become more credible when gender
inclusive; otherwise, they are misandric, divisive, wrongheaded,
hypocritical and wholly counterproductive.
The question must be what can we all do to end our violence against
each other.
