[St37One]

Refusing to have sex with her can be domestic violence.

Giving her a gift can be domestic violence.

Having sex with her can be domestic violence.

Refusing to give her a gift can be domestic violence.

The underlying principle is merely "does the woman get what she wants"

if the answer is no, then this is unacceptable.

This is the sort of principle that can only be maintained so long as there is a clear and distinct double standard with no confusion.

Lesbian and gay IPV must be ignored.

Hadn't seen that Lorena Bobbitt clip before, disgusting...

(con't) It got him suspended without pay and took nearly a year to resolve and *only* when it came to light that this was the fourth time she had gotten into a relationship and accused her significant other/s of DV and stalking when she wanted out. The charges were withdrawn, but the damage had been done; he's never been reinstated because of the stigma despite the proff otherwise.

And her? Not even a slap on the wrist for filing a false report, mischief or any penalty whatsoever.

A good friend mine, an ex police officer got into serious trouble ten years ago. He responded to a case of stalking and harassment. After that she began showing up at his hangouts and his work and a relationship began. After a year, he proposed and she vanished without another word the next day after accepting. She called him a week later arranging to meet, and he wanted an explanation. When he arrived he found his own colleagues waiting for him who took him into custody fr stalking (con't)

@lemsip & a man who mutilates his wifes vagina gets sent to prison for being a sicko. Do you see the difference?

[lemsip]

@taffwob He also capitalised on the fame as well and earned more money than his wife did with talk shows etc.

[taffwob]

@lemsip No it does not represent women as a whole, I was commenting on how a woman can mutilate a man & it's seen as a big joke. She reached minor celebrity status for it. It's indicative of the different attittudes towards men & women for acts that would ce construde as repulsive for one yet accepatable & even humourous for the other.

[lemsip]

This kind of behaviour may not be domestic violence but it certainly isn't normal or healthy and counts as unreasonable behaviour in divorce cases.

[lemsip]

@taffwob That was just one woman and does not represent womankind as a whole.

[lemsip]

This idiot believes that harassing women and watching wives and girlfriends at work is normal behaviour. He thinks it's OK to refuse to have sex with her (not a crime) but expects to her to have sex with him.
