A slanted domestic abuse system is one of the unique issues harming men. Look up the Duluth Model. It's a model for policing domestic violence that was design by feminist activists and researchers with police and its the most commonmy used method in the US. In short, the model assumes that men, as a class, are conditioned by patriarchal society to use violence and threats of violence to control and intimidate women and women use violence almost solely for self defense. It ignores contributing factors like substance abuse and mental health issues. Not exaggerating. If I recall, the creators of the model have, since then, let on that their model is faulty and they made assumptions about the motives of domestic violence that were idealogically driven rather than evidence based. We, as a society, inaccurately view and market domestic violence almost exclusively as a crime committed by men on women. And that kind of depiction is, I believe, deliberately pushed by years of social activism. Even today, disputing that or advocating for improving men's conditions regarding domestic violence are met unkindly. This is, I think, connected with the other ways men are uniquely mistreated by the criminal justice system. For example, regarding sentencing and conviction for the same crimes, men are treated worded relative to women than black are relative to whites. That is the "gender gap" in criminal justice is worse than the "race gap" and it heavily favors women. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
