Women’s refuge and All Blacks game
It is depressing that the All Blacks have lost to France and many New Zealanders are feeling the ‘down feelings’ today. Funny to hear Psychologists and Psychiatrists coming forward to help NZ deal with the pain and give us advice on how to cope with this loss. It is all over the radios. The best advice given is for us to watch the rest of the championship, says one specialist.
If we are not already in pain; we have once again the Women’s Refuge Advocates and counsellors spinning the crap that the refuge hotline, police and the refuges have to deal with an increase of clients because men beat their wives and children because of the loss.
Since I had a day of relaxation and was a bit bored, I thought I would look more into this. And I have to say the news and discussion picked me up.
It’s a fact. The refuges do not get an increase of women because of the game nor any major game like this. There has been a few whispers over the years since this information was fed to the public but it is false. Not only does the refuges and refuge hotline not receive extra influx of women in turmoil but the police do not deal with extra call outs either for Domestic Violence.
I am awaiting a phone call to obtain the stats for these times of the year which are available to ALL groups. So I will be able to look at the trends. I did however hear that the rugby season is an increase but then there may be other explanations for that like ‘winter’. Yet, I did hear some males get nasty when drinking with their mates after a match they lost as a player.
But on another note. It was interesting to hear the disappointment from refuges about money. There seems to be corruption at the top. The money is not going to the refuges and they are struggling and even if they are given more money from the Government it will still not go to them. There are feminists who are ripping off their own movement. And the refuges are just simply being used and abused by the feminists who are cashing in. But what a neat day to spend with feminists. I hope they enjoy my website. hehehe
Oh and on another note. The women’s refuges are supportive of men’s refuges.
