Mom Stabs Dad – Paper Doesn’t Call it DV – Neither Does Office on Violence Against Women

wow another case of sexism in our legal system! surprise surprise!! its just way to easy for women to make themselves a victim and not take resposiblitity for there actions!!!

Of course what she did should be called domestic violence.

The article here calls what happened a "domestic fight", which is as much as saying "domestic violence". As for the charges, I wonder if the 'domestic violence' charge is ALWAYS used along with other charges or a charge they just SOMETIMES use. Do they just not charge WOMEN with DV, or do they sometimes also not charge men with DV? I wonder.....

But either way, you can bet the men are charged with DV much more than women.

DV and assault with deadly weapon!!!

Women are perfect. They can do no wrong nor can they work on deep sea fishing boat or a big rig. But they don't fight to work on those unpretty jobs. Nope.

Women also are not 'strong' enough to physically harm a man. Even with a knife. Dur.

If you are a WASP male you are at the bottom of the totem pole, or food chain if you like. Political Correctness has tried to reverse the false sense of men controlling females into women controlling males through legal mumbo-jumbo. I blame it on lawyers they have totally effed us Americans in every single field I can think of.
Obnoxious rules and regulations, BS and corruptibility, lawyers truely are the bain on every elses American Dream! They own the Big homes, in my town. Then again Pennsylvania is "the Land Of Litigation".

I really couldnt have said it better bull......

In general if a man had stabbed his g/f or wife it would be automatically labeled as DV. Regardless if there was any previous evidence of similar activities, it would be assumed that there was. Any research into DV and/or abusive relationships show that there is often a slight build before it gets physical. One could even question the reason for this man to be holding his child during the argument.... Has it prevented the mother from attacking him in the past???

Because some policies and procedures are based upon DV statistics. If the statistic say 90%+ of DV cases are perpetrated by males then police and judges will act accordingly even though this contradicts hundreds of studies with sample sizes in the hundreds of thousands. Politician's pass domestic violence bills, and the police's response to calls are greatly influenced by this statistic. Domestic abuse hot lines, and women's shelters are also influenced by this number and so to is public opinion. It is difficult, if not impossible, to make rational decisions individually or as a society based upon misinformation. in this case domestic violence would influence his parental rights.

The end of the article summed it up fairly well. After writing about the problems with the definition of domestic violence. He gave examples of some of the various definitions.

"Undermining your partner's "sense of self-worth?" Making repeated attempts to get your wife to stop buying so many pairs of shoes? Putting to sleep a terminally-ill pet? Yep, each of those constitutes violent behavior under the OVW definition. Shooting your husband in the head with a shotgun while he sleeps? Not necessarily."

She was charged with aggravated assault. He was not charged with anything. I guess I don't understand why a DV charge would be more effective.

Men are not valued in our society. Boys are ignored, young men are unemployed, and the gender police try to make certain that disputes of any kind are resolved in favor of women. This is one reason why our country has gone bankrupt and has become weak.

It appears that DV charges are exclusively for men just as gender equality is exclusively for women.

Its no wonder the govt statistics are so skewed... If they wont even call this DV what else gets through the cracks????
