Domestic Violence Reality - the exception vs the rule.

This issue needs more attention!!!

A list of some common problems with bureaucracy (wikipedia)

- Overspecialization, making individual officials not aware of larger consequences of their actions

- A phenomenon of group thinking, zealotry, loyalty, and lack of critical thinking regarding the organization which is perfect and always correct by definition, making the organization unable to change and realize its own mistakes and limitations.

- Disregard for dissenting opinions, even when such views suit the available data better than the opinion of the majority.

- A phenomenon of Catch 22 - as bureaucracy creates more and more rules and procedures, their complexity rises and cooperation diminishes, facilitating the creation of contradictory and recursive rules.

- Not allowing people to use common sense as everything must be as is written by the law.

We need to take steps to prevent officials from using these inherent flaws in bureacracy to advance thier own ideology, or for financial gain.

I do believe the attorney in the video IS correct about his assessment of who "is riding the bull" right now in terms of policy and enforcement - his ideological adversaries, the "shelter movement", etc.

I believe here in Canada (and from what I know, the situation is pretty similar in most of the U.S.), there has been (in some ways) a hysterical "over reaction" to what had long been a real but ignored problem (wife battery.)

by "tunnel vision" walter is refering to the bizzare belief that the experiences and stories of the women at the shelter can be generalized to the entire population as if it were a random sample.

They do actually claim that If o1 in 4 women at the shelter were assaulted, then that must mean that 1 in 4 Canadian women are assaulted.

Walter only generalizes from his own male DV clients who tend to have no priors, to male DV clients in Ontario, which is probably warranted.

Speaking of "tunnel vision", is it possible that this defense attorney has a little of his own? I mean, he see's nothing but men swearing up and down that they've been wronged by the system. Not completely unlike the people he speaks of who got "shell shocked" by seeing nothing but battered women and real bad "hard luck" cases.

That said, I tend to think the "truth" is somewhere between the extremes in rhetoric.

[St37One]

This is one area where what you might call the "middle ground" or the majority opinion is missing the boat.

His point is not so much about the men, as to how the system is structured in a way that makes it immune to reality.

If you learn more about this particular issue, I think that you will see how it is not a mere over reaction, but a full fledged witch hunt, which is not capable of solving the problem of domestic violence due to its ideological bent.

You know it amazes me, that with all the things the government tries to gurantee people now, we still have to pay out of our own pocket for justice. I'm all for free market lawyers but court fees should be handled by the state. If society imposes an expense, they should cover it.

I'm a small government fiscal hawk but people shouldn't have swallow their pride and say "no contest", just because they can't afford to be exonerated.

[St37One]

The PARS business is also a protection racket, and the only reason that they get away with it is due to the social stigma against the accuzed, which the government is also promoting. Participation is not really voluntary.

You also have the promotion of a strong bias against men, along with a strong bias against the accuzed. There is also a thriving PARS industry that has sprung up recently (not mentioned in this video) to meet the extremely high demand created by this zero tolerance policy.

George Orwell,do you have something to say?

[anikinippon]

Great video. This is exactly the reason why the iFeminists and other smaller feminist groups that actually strive for equality don't have power. NOW and the Feminist Majority are the organizations that are the power houses of Feminism. Now is responsible for the VAWA or the Violence Against Women's Act. The Act the specifically excludes men even though they are 37% of all Domestic Violence victims, this is a sexist scandal.

[themaniusedtob]

Very true, but lets not forget that feminism helped to amplify that biased noise. Being that feminist groups lobbied for laws that are not fair to men.

PiebRule comment, "a real but ignored problem" (wife battery). R u kidding? I can name 10 studies in 70's alone but the most telling 1 is (1977 Langley & Levy) "The most unreported crime is not wife beating it is husband beating." That was an independent study. Studies like that would now be trash canned because studies r pd 4 by feminazi's 2 promote the corrupt & lucrative divorce/custody/women's shelter industry. Judges got to have pensions & lawyers got to have JAGS & we get 2 pay for it all

@vanity40ful You don`t think that there are dysfunctional mothers?

[vanity40ful]

@1WhoSeeks Until you have been subjected to such a life experience ,it's hard to say how someone else should feel about it. All men are'nt bad...but good ones are hard to find. They are exposed to dysfunctional conditioning by there own fathers and repeat the behavior.

@1WhoSeeks

It's not just a minority of men who are assholes.

A minority of HUMANS are assholes. Including women.

@SnarkLicker,

No one is here saying, he was a wonderful man. We hate abusers as much as you do but we are not your abusers. Justice catches up with everyone eventually.

[1WhoSeeks]

@SnarkLicker,

Sorry you had a bad experience but not all men are to blame for the actions of a few. Most men are decent but, it s the decent men who are persecuted by the "victim society'". I was not the man that harmed you so why should I be punished. That is why MRA groups exist. Cause we are sick of the injustice directed towards men. We are sick of the false allegations and the bias in the legal system. Things are going to have to change.

@einyr,

You either had a bad teacher or you are so blind to the truth that you truly believe there is no psychological difference between men and women despite all the evidence that says otherwise. It`s about time psychology and biology started to work together. Stop being so set in your ways and open you mind. That`s how great people become great.

[St37One]

that would be nice.

but realistically we should aim for 5 years.
