Domestic Violence Reports, DV Fraud, VAWA

Now that women are fully participating in the workforce, it is also found that women are presently 20-30% MORE likely to be Promiscuous and Adulterous as a group than men.  It is easy to infer from this that a primary limitation on female Adultery and Promiscuity supporting the notion that Adultery Victims were overwhelmingly female was NOT due the the feminine "character" but  was due their lack of opportunity in prior decades.  (It's not rocket science to figure out why this turns out to be the case.)  When Paternity Testing is done, BTW, the frequency that the man the Mother claims to be the Father is in fact NOT the father is around 30-40%.     In BC thanks to NDP legislation, it matters not who the Natural Father is in Paternity suites, and the NDP and BC Government has become fully participant in BC Paternity Fraud.

In a just world, Englishwoman Erin Pizzey, who founded the world's first shelter for battered wives in 1971, would be a sought-after speaker on the subject of domestic violence. In the real world, however, Pizzey's name is a byword for politically incorrect apostasy.

Pizzey's crime? A humanist, she challenged the belief system dictated by radical feminists, who colonized her shelter and made her presence untenable. Their ideological mantra, still alive and kicking, insists that men are the default perpetrators in domestic violence (also known as "intimate partner violence," or IPV, in the jargon) while women are invariably innocent victims who inflict violence only in self-defence. But Pizzey knew from her own experience (her wealthy, socially elite parents were mutually abusive, and her mother violent to Erin), and from what the women in her shelter told her, that most partner violence is reciprocal.

Holding women responsible for their violence was so at odds with the received wisdom of the movement's activists that, for her whistle-blowing pains, Pizzey's dog was killed and her entire family received death threats. Undaunted, she pursued her equal-responsibility crusade in the United States for many years in a fusillade of articles and books.

While dramatically extreme, Pizzey's story is nevertheless emblematic of the hostility truth-tellers confront in the domestic violence industry.

Another outlier, University of British Columbia psychology professor Don Dutton, is acknowledged by his peers as a world expert on IPV. He has proven, over and over again -- most recently in his definitive 2006 book, Rethinking Domestic Violence -- that the tendency to violence in intimate relationships is bilateral and rooted in individual dysfunction: Men and women with personality disorders and/or family histories of violence are equally likely to be violent themselves, or seek violent partners.

But Dutton's scientific credentials and extensive 25-year archive of peer-reviewed research cut no ice with Canadian policymakers, none of whom has ever solicited his advice.

Instead, pseudo-science absolving women of violent impulses, delivered on demand to interest groups by the same tiny, incestuous coterie of ideologically sympathetic professionals, is routinely applied in training police, family law judges, social workers and women's shelter personnel.

A lazy, politically correct media dutifully spreads the party line by reporting uncritically on bogus selection-biased "studies" by non-accredited stakeholders, who extrapolate to the general population data that are based on testimonials from men in court-mandated therapy programs or women in shelters.

Ah, women's shelters! Southern Ontario resident Mariel Davison offers up a rather damning story of what happens when naively impartial volunteerism collides with women's shelter groupthink.

Davison has an honours degree in psychology. A few years ago, considering herself an "equal opportunity feminist," she volunteered to serve at a local women's shelter. During eight weeks' "training," Davison was subjected to relentless male-bashing and junk science. That, and the puzzling incongruity of the female-as-victim message with the battered lesbians who also sought refuge -- lesbian violence was a taboo subject amongst trainees -- led to further intellectual inquiry.

"An attorney for Mary Winkler says the convicted killer has taken custody of her three daughters from her slain husband's parents.   Rachael Putnam, a custody attorney for Winkler, said the former minister's wife picked up the girls from Dan and Diane Winkler on Friday, August 1st and the children will remain with her permanently in McMinnville."  

"Winkler was convicted of voluntary manslaughter last year for shooting her husband, Church of Christ minister Matthew Winkler, at their residence in Selmer. She was sentenced to three years in prison but is free on probation. 

The children, who are ages 11, 9 and 3, have been living with their grandparents since Winkler's arrest, but they have been visiting their mother through court-appointed visits for the past year".

Notice Courts enforce Visitation for women even when they murder the children's father.  Fathers of course cannot get Visitation Orders enforced  Femi-Narcissism sells! See Femi-Narcissist "Christian" bookseller Gary Smalley

Mary Winkler is now a free woman after only 67 days
