Men’s rights issues and videos

Filed under: Domestic Violence,General — Julie @ 12:43 pm Thu 8th July 2010

I came across a couple of interesting short videos on the net that echo the message men give through writing on this site and thought “Hey, cool”.

This one (below) is about men choosing surrogacy to become fathers rather than risk losing their children when a mother is involved.

And this one (below) is about women abusing men and society’s perception of it. It shows how women have permission in society to abuse men and how women even cheer it on.

The video above is disturbing as well as interesting and I think it’s important to look at where men can turn for help when in an abusive relationship. It’s best men don’t phone women’s hotlines for advice on who to contact because they’ll just refer you to anger management classes where men are blamed for the violence. The video shows how women believe men deserve it and this attitude is prevalent in New Zealand.

Maybe some viewers might know where men can turn. I’d like to say a men’s centre but not all men centres accept an abused man to be a victim and those that do can’t get funding to be open decent hours. The police are not worth contacting because our laws say police can make a judgement on what to do but then feminist policy comes along and tells them how to think. Men are automatically imprisoned unless the abuse is soooo bad, like the man is near dead, but then the woman will be taken somewhere like a women’s refuge where she can’t be touched by the law as a perpetrator. Much like the churches used to be safe havens.

It’s a sick world!!! And bad days for men to live.

Anyways, maybe you know where men can turn, or maybe you have another interesting video to share or a comment about the 2 videos above. Please leave a comment.
