Hard Times Means More Abuse

Governor Schwarzenegger has to be commended for making a very wise, sound decision in restoring funding for battered women shelters. Without a shelter for a battered woman to go to, she could be killed or severely beaten. This is a very important point that Governor Schwarzenegger recognized. Most men are bigger than women. This is a reverse decision for Governor Schwarzeneger and this decision shows that the Governor has a flexible mind to do what is right. Well done ! Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger! You have saved the lives of many battered women. If a husband has plans to murder his wife, beware, the "Terminator will be Back."

If a bad economy equals battered women. Then the democrats are definitely the worst abusers of women in the history of our country. Why?

January 3, 2007: the Democrats take over the Senate and House:
DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77

Bush Economic policy had SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
More Than 8.3 Million jobs created, in the longest continuous run of job growth on record

The Economic meltdown starts 15 months later, in BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES! A CRISIS caused by dumping $6 TRILLION in toxic loans into the economy from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac!

OBAMA takes the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac!

HYPOCRITE in Chief Obama fights reform of Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac!

JANUARY 3, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!

Economy, politics, culture, race, ethnicity, religion or whatever, any "man" that lifts his hand @ a woman is nowhere near a "man." Domestic abuse is a disgrace :) henry

Credible research overwhelmingly shows that the ratio of d.v. is at least 50/50 between women & men. http://tinyurl.com/3sakk According to one study by researchers who work at the CDC, in 70% of domestic violence incidents, where the domestic violence is not mutual, it's women who initiate the domestic violence. http://tinyurl.com/yzm9xhe The taxpayer funded domestic violence industry has largely mischaracterized the true nature of d.v. from the beginning and continues to mislead the public. D.V. law follows a gender feminist agenda/ideology over facts in evidence and does great harm to many innocent men (and also many battering women who need help) as shown in "Los Misandry" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAmOxv...

V.P. Biden recently called violence against women, "the very worst abuse." The very worst abuse is valuing one life less than another for having been born the wrong sex. Under Biden's Violence Against Women Act the wrong sex is men. Shelter and services are virtually non-existent for male victims of domestic violence so those options out of a bad relationship, that are routinely available to women, are very often not available to men. Men wind up gender profiled and often falsely accused by the taxpayer funded, d.v. industry, because of gender feminist ideology controlling the d.v. industry. Men are often battered by domestic violence, and then battered again by the taxpayer funded, domestic violence industry.

According to the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services and DOJ statistics, more kids are killed by neglect and abuse in a year (1,760 in 2007), than all the female intimate partner homicides in a year. Mothers are the single largest group of kid killers, according to HHS and they have a rate twice that of fathers. Nowhere near the money is spent to protect kids from kid killing mothers as is spent by the domestic violence industry to protect women. A lot of innocent men are witch-hunted by the corrupt, gender feminist influenced, taxpayer funded, domestic violence industry. Involving the corrupt d.v. industry in an attempt to prevent abusive and neglectful deaths of children is a big mistake. No place better exemplifies the corruption of the taxpayer funded, domestic violence industry than "Los Misandry." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAmOxv...

If Biden said that, than he's a fool for making abuse a comparative thing. What about the 95-year-old man whose a punching bag for his daughter? What about abused kids, abused handicapped people, or (light bulb goes on over my head) any person or animal that lives in terror of someone?

That having been said, there needs to be places where anyone who is abused can go to in order to seek shelter. Bad economy, bad upbringing, sexualization of women, and bad life choices of both sexes are all contributing factors to this ongoing tragedy.

Ray I don't know what planet you are living on but your "statistics" about women being abusers as much as--or almost as much as--men are just plain WRONG. (And just plain LIES.) You seem to have some ISSUE you are trying to work out, dude. Hope you're not workin' out on a woman.

The truth is that 97% or so of batterers ARE men. The truth is just about that many men NEVER quit being batterers. The best thing a woman can do is RUN, don't walk, from a man who hits you EVER. Learn how to make your own money and never look back.

As Hank pointed out, real "men" don't hit women.
