Domestic violence - Ignoring the victims



Many of these old videos do not have a companion commentary, when I posted this video I had some interesting comments. Most notably I have seen a common effect that I have dubbed "The Africa effect", essentially one cannot make any comment to counter the feminist most heinous arguments because they'll say "but in Africa …[fill in space]".

Essentially I cannot argue against domestic violence because in Africa violence is commonplace. Now, I'm not sure if this is correct but for the sake of moving forward I'll accept it. Now, why do feminists always try to pass tougher and tougher laws in western countries when they all agree that there is a genuine problem in Africa?

The answer, the Africa effect is an excuse (stay tuned for a video about it).

Also in the video is one of my strongest views, that you'll convince no-one at all with statistics. When talking about political issues people usually come down on one side and stick to it. Statistics are preaching to the converted. Now I try not to use statistics in my videos, partly because they are boring and take a long time to research but mainly because I will convince absolutely no-one with them. To quote a comment on the video:

"Ever heard the term lie, dam lies and statistics. You can get your figures from any where and giving the fact that violence has no standard criteria which would label a certain amount of violence or abuse in a marriage as such you can pretty makeup whatever statistic you want."

Exactly. What I try to do is make my arguments based upon logical reasoning. The argument that no matter how many men are actually abused, they are as deserving of protection as women in a compassionate and equalitarian society is hard to debate by all but the most die-hard of feminists.

    i agree whole heartedly and most of the cases id wager arent even real western wemon can (and are) that vindictive. I heard of a case in which a man and his wife were drifting apart to the point where they were living apart in the same house and she fell down a set of stairs and her husband rushed her to the hospital and she acted like she was terrifyed of him...you can guess the following i assume

    So what, is this a site against women? Should this be called masculinism? It's amazing to me that you will attack women who have already been abused because you seem to think they're liars. You will find bad people in any situation, but I pray for your soul, because many women who would love nothing but peace in their life, and get the exact opposite. If you want people to care about abused men, you can't villainize women who are abused. I feel sorry for you really, you're very insecure and hateful.

Please add 7 and 4 and type the answer here:

The umbrella in particular is remembered as the symbol of the nineteenth century’s disturbing obsession with individualism. In Bellamy’s utopia, umbrellas have been replaced with retractable canopies so that everyone is protected from the rain equally.
“In the nineteenth century,” explains a character, “when it rained, the people of Boston put up three hundred thousand umbrellas over as many heads, and in the twentieth century they put up one umbrella over all the heads.”
