Re: can men be misandrist?
(Anonymous) 2012-12-24 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)In today's culture people have equated rape and domestic violence solely with men. To the point that men cannot get help. There are few shelters for men. To the point that men can be accused of rape, the victim can remain anonymous and even if found not guilty that man's life can be ruined. The VAWA laws actually pay prosecutors for guilty rulings for Domestic violence against women. This has led to false allegations, trumped up charges and some less than fair lawyers spending most of their time taking on these cases to get more money. Not all of them of course. Probably not even a large percent, but if it happens at all, it's shit.
Male children of battered women are separated from their mothers because males as low as 13 years old are seen as potential perpetrators instead of victims. Even if they are all victims of abuse. Little boys as young as 6 have been kicked out of school for "sexual harassment." These harassments being things like hugging a teacher or calling a teacher "cute."
Women charged with having sex with their students often get probation or very little jail time. Males are far fewer between but get far more jail time and more publicity.
Men are often denied rights to their children to the point that children awarded to their mothers have been killed by their obviously crazy mothers.
Men get more time in prison for the same crimes. There are Primary Aggressor laws in many states that say if police are called to a scene where there is a fight you always arrest the man because it must have been his fault. This leads to many men refusing to call because they know they will be arrested even if they are covered in their own blood and she's holding a knife.
Now of course I'm sure you're going to say that's because of misogyny! We think women are weak! No. If anything it's both. It can be both. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Current culture protects women and demonizes men. But both men and women do this. It's not just Men v women. Most often in the cases of judges it's male judges ruling lighter for women and women judges giving harsher sentences to women. Both rule more harshly for men.
Men's health issues are not taken as seriously as women's. Just as men men die of prostate cancer than Breast cancer but they get a portion of the funding. Yes it does effect men too but it's almost always portrayed as a female-only.
Homeless single fathers are usually separated from their children. Fathers are separated from their families in shelters if they are still with their wife. I personally only know of one organization that tries to provide shelter for single fathers.
Out of all of the attempts to help women we keep forgetting that males are victims(of violence, of laws, of circumstances) too and unless we help all victims the cycle cannot be broken.
