Conservative Advocates: Violence Against Women Act Unfair To Men
Source: Talking Points Memo
Claiming that the reauthorization would expand the definition of domestic violence to include “emotional distress,” Heritage declared that the “expansive and vague language will increase fraud and false allegations, for which there is no legal recourse.”
“Under VAWA, men effectively lose their constitutional rights to due process, presumption of innocence, equal treatment under the law, the right to a fair trial and to confront one’s accusers, the right to bear arms, and all custody/visitation rights,” the group wrote. “It is unprecedented, unnecessary and dangerous.”
FreedomWorks also worried that the legislation would be unfair to men.
“The newest version of the VAWA, S.47, contains very vague and broad definitions of domestic violence,” the organization wrote. “A man that raises his voice at his partner, calls her an offensive name, stalks her, causes her any emotional distress, or simply just annoys her can potentially be prosecuted under the VAWA. Calling your spouse a mean name is not advised or polite, but it isn’t the same thing as violence towards her.”

possibly know that they're a threat to her?
Save the men!
They still don't get that women hating is a losing stance for them. All they ever think about are the old white guys who have all the money and could get in trouble for slapping their mistresses around - just to relieve some stress, of course. We certainly don't want that to happen.
“Supporters of the VAWA portray women as helpless victims - this is the kind of attitude that is setting women back.”
So giving the women the power in the courts and justice system NOT to be a helpless victim by making sure her attacker is prosecuted makes them a victim.
