This week much media attention is given to the subject of Family Violence and Abuse. While $40 million of taxpayer dollars have been spent on the hysterical WRD campaign, which by definition promotes the false perception that violence is only perpetrated by men against women, the Rudd Government has not spent one cent on one third of the victims, which happen to be men.
The insidious WRD campaign which has now infiltrated our schools and is being used to indoctrinate our children, does nothing except cause our daughters to be filled with hate for our sons, and fill our sons with false guilt just for being male.
However, armed with a dozier of more reliable factual research that indicates a large percentage of the victims are in fact males, men have finally launched the more credible 1in3 campaign. First up we speak with the Senior Researcher and spokesperson for the One in Three Campaign, Greg Andresen, who exposes a series of falsehoods and misinformation being put forward by the Domestic Violence industry, in order to deceive an unsuspecting public into believing that only men are perpetrators and only women are victims of Domestic Violence.
Next we speak with Sue Price from the Mens Rights Agency, who draws attention to the way the Rudd Government, which is hell bent on taking us back to the dark old days of the disgraced Nicholson era, is calling on noted anti shared parenting apologists to provide advice to the Government on how to remove the notion of shared parenting.
We close the show with Warwick Marsh from the Fatherhood Foundation, who gives a glowing account of the success of last weeks’ International Mens Day. This event was celebrated around the world and contrary to the usual negative media portrayal of men, this positive image of men is now seen by many as one of the important building blocks of the long road back towards achieving justice and equality for men.
Family violence and abuse is a serious and deeply entrenched problem in Australia. It has significant impacts upon the lives of men, women and children. It knows no boundaries of gender, geography, socio-economic status, age, ability, sexual preference, culture, race or religion. Domestic violence (also known as intimate partner violence or IPV), and most elder abuse, child abuse and sexual abuse are all different forms of family violence. Thankfully reducing family violence against women and children has been firmly on the agendas of government for many years. Now is the time to move to the next, more sophisticated stage of tackling the problem: recognising men as victims as well.
Men are not against women having rights or being treated with respect or care. What all thinking men and women are against is when that respect and care are DEMANDED with disrespect and carelessness. All decent men and women respect each others right to safety and equality, but are insulted when we have to suffer the degrading experience of watching our families being attacked by a dubious gender hate campaign and how we are forced to witness our sons and daughters being taught lies in school in order to prop up a theoretical political ideology that should have died a death in the 1970’s.
The misinformation model of abuse thinking and response, used by the WRD promoters is similar to that used by Joseph Goebbels the infamous German information minister. The first casualty when promoting this type of model is the truth.
Promoting untrue, unjust and false presumptions about “power and control” being a male only phenomenon, while completely failing to address the well documented facts and prevalence of abusive females, except to make excuses for them, will undoubtedly do more harm than good for all those suffering at the hands of the real abusers, both Men, Women and Children.
The uncomfortable reality is that very often the “terrorist” in the family, wears a skirt.
