Guest Stefkov Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well that's in Mexico so our prisons will be fine. All those paedophiles and rapists can sleep easy jealous men won't be overcrowding their space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those paedophiles and rapists can sleep easy jealous men won't be overcrowding their space. Yes, it's in Mexico, but it shows how bad things are becoming for men in this World. In the USA, a woman only has to say she feels "threatened", and she can have her husband thrown out of his house, get a restraining order put on him, and he isn't allowed to see or contact his children. http://www.dontmakehermad.com/forum/index.php?topic=3.msg3#new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monopolyman Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well, I can tell this is going to be another thread about feminism. Though whatever way you see this, you have to agree that's pretty fucking retarded law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 "Men ought not to feel discriminated against." Presumably because they can be imprisoned for that too. Surely this is borderline Minority Report, essentially arresting people for a crime they haven't committed? At any rate, jealousy or indifference might call for counselling but I don't see how a prison sentence will help any. I imagine any actual benefit of this law will be far outweighed by the abuse of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raining_again Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 You would think if a woman wasn't getting enough sex, or was being pestered by their other half that they would leave? No??? And why doesn't it work the other way round? women get as jealous too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah this is pretty bad. Doubt that law would make it over here though, tbh it's what they want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 And why doesn't it work the other way round? women get as jealous too! I would believe that to be the more common occurence. So, you know... Mehico: Que, cabron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 And why doesn't it work the other way round? women get as jealous too! They're not as likely to hit their husbands, I suppose. Incidentally, my sister works for Women's Aid and has to meet a lot of abused women and violent husbands. I'll ask for her take on this law next time I see her.

Women's Aid is a poisonious organization. Very scary if you know their history. Google Erin Pizzey, and you'll see how they sort of formed. Read this as well. http://www.bennett.com/ptv/ It'll show you about how women are just as likely to be as abusive in a relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I wouldn't want to taint your monochrome world with shades of grey. Not discounting anything your sister has done, I just know about how poisonious an organization they are. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_Aid I know Wiki isn't a great source, but I can find more links too. Critics, such as Erin Pizzey, the founder of battered women's refuges in the UK, say such organisations' persistent presentation of women as victims of men is dishonest and deliberately inaccurate, as well as patronising and insulting to both genders.

Aimless Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 It's easy to criticise. Much easier than, say, helping people, which at the end of the day is Women's Aid's purpose. Perhaps it does perpetuate a disruptive viewpoint, but there are far worse offenders of this. The organisation isn't treating a phantom problem, after all: the women they try to help are all broken in some way, even if the blame can't be levelled solely at their abusive partners. I would suggest that 'glamour' magazines and the media at large are far more damaging to the female self-image than Women's Aid, and those are purely in it for the money.

ipaul Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 That law is sick. Really, that is.....truly horrible. Sure some men can get possessive but jesus deal with it another way!! It's like arresting someone for feeling emotions o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 If a wife threatened her already violent husband with turning him in, there's the slightest chance he would kill her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iun Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hooray! Here come the Thought Police! And Christ... ...I have been with two extremely possessive women in my life, one of them used to throw things when she didn't get her own way, the other has tantrums. Nobody is telling me I'm abused or should be seeking legal help, I just have to suck it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
