MIsForMalevolent asked if any MRA bloggers were interested in joining his blog and helping to contribute...so I've joined up to contribute occasionally.

Misandrope has blogged extensively about his personal experiences of going through the hell of divorce in the feminized court system of New Jersey, and his archives are quite instructive to others who may be going through a similar situation themselves.

I really enjoy his format and look to run with it a bit...he's got a great blog. I don't know of any "group blogs" in the MRM, so I think it would be a great idea of other bloggers would take up the offer and make an occasional contribution!

So folks, if you're interested, let's have some fun, pick a letter and post a topic!

We Don't Need Domestic Violence Shelters for Men

Much has been written about the lies feminists have propagated about domestic violence as of late in the MRM blogosphere. Carey Roberts, Glenn Sacks, Dr. Helen and a few other noteworthy MR advocates have attempted to shine the spotlight on the facts that women are often instigators and/or co-conspirators in domestic violence cases, and that women often instigate assault on their male partners just as much, if not more than men...yet the conventional wisdom (or the successful indoctrination of society by the feminists) is that men are always the perpetrators and that women are never culpable.

While I believe it is important to expose the lies of the feminists for all to see, and that such inequity in application of the laws are important to recognize, we men need to absolutely avoid the victim mentality of the feminists and try to create the same kind of institutional programs to try and "deal with this problem."

In short, I hope I NEVER live to see "Domestic Violence Centers for Men" become a widespread phenomenon.

Men don't need shelter from abusive women.

We need shelter from an abusive SYSTEM that doesn't hold Women responsible for their own actions.

We need to fight the popular culture and media that degrades men, fathers, fatherhood and the "you go girl" mindset that gives it's tacit stamp of approval for women to physically assault men.

We need an end to television shows and advertisements that portray a blow to men's genitalia as high comedy.

Another needed change would be in favor of a complete change in the application of police procedure in domestic violence cases.

As is the case today, a woman can assault a man (frequently with an object or weapon to inflict damage,) and a man can simply shove her or forcibly disarm her to protect himself and he is the only one that gets arrested and charged...even if the man has evident physical damage and the woman only has tears streaming down her face as visual evidence when the cops show up.

I say in any domestic violence case where the police are called, they should simply arrest BOTH parties involved and charge them BOTH with domestic violence. Than, both should be administered lie detector tests to determine who instigated the first act of physical contact.

In this way, woman would no longer have the automatic assumption of innocence (imagine that, equality under the law, regardless of gender!), nor would they have the incentives to try and create false "events" of domestic abuse to use as a tool to divorce their husbands. Instigating violence would get her arrested and put into the same system he does. Furthermore, we need to make the penalties for false claims of domestic abuse to be punished just as harshly as actual abuse. As it stands right now, women have all the incentives to make up false claims and no penalties for lying to manipulate the system.

Finally, I think the most important change that needs to be implemented is to stop the practice of voiding men's Constitutional rights on the simple accusation of domestic violence from a woman. Just because a woman claims abuse does not mean a man should be forcibly kicked out of his home (especially if he can demonstrate that he bears the majority of the burden for paying the mortgage or rent), or his second amendment rights by surrendering his legally owned firearms to the State on a simple TRO taken out by a female. We are all supposed to be innocent until proven guilty...yet the feminists have managed to enact laws that ignore this constitutional principle and given women the tools to disenfranchise men from their legal property and right to life.

Men don't need shelters from abusive Women.

We need the reform of a system and society that encourages Women to be abusive in the first place.
