Is Misandry Protecting Mothers Who Murder And Maim?
MISANDRY
American Heritage Dictionary
mi·san·dry
n.
Hatred of men.
I’m a woman and I used to believe what the media said about men. Now I know better.
The media constantly exposes us to inaccurate, negative impressions of and statements about men. In looking for the root of the problem I found a network of people who benefit from misandry. Many of these people work for or with the family courts or domestic violence services, often both. I wonder if the Violence Against Women Act funds misandry. As I wrote in It’s Not Your Mother’s Fathers Movement Anymore, I watched as representatives from domestic violence and feminist organizations slandered fathers to defeat California’s 2005 Shared Parenting bill:
“Fathers who seek custody, they’re not all great fathers.” That was the truth according to Mira Fox, who runs Child Abuse Solutions, Inc…Fox said, “Children are often given into the custody of abusive fathers”…
Fox’s organization, by her own testimony that day, trains people in the family court system how to litigate and adjudicate child sexual abuse cases. Is Fox guilty of misandry or ignorance? The January 2005 Male Perpetrators of Child Maltreatment states:
…fathers are, “less likely than other male perpetrators to be involved in sexual abuse.”
The Administration for Children and Families says:
In 2004, 45.6% of child victims were maltreated by their mothers acting alone or with other and only 19.5 percent were maltreated by their fathers acting alone or with other.
Last week I came across a pamplet by the California Women’s Law Center called Teen Dating Violence. Teen dating violence is indeed a serious problem that needs to be addressed. Is it acceptable that their brochure is only about males who abuse and female victims? Is this misandry? Studies show not only are female teens increasingly violent, girls are more likely to victimize their partner than boys are.
Today I read an opinion piece called Murderously self-pitying fathers by India Knight, where she laid out the horrifying details of four fathers who murdered their families, yet writes nothing of murderous moms. She starts by suggesting she reads about murderous fathers weekly:
Another week, another horrifying story about men’s frequent and calamitous inability to cope with crisis. Gavin Hall, 33, was jailed for life last week after drugging then suffocating his three-year-old daughter Millie as “revenge” for his wife’s infidelity…Stories such as these crop up with depressing regularity:
To come up with the four stories she had to go back three years. Is Knight guilty of misandry or just ignorance?
According to this graph by the Administration for Children and Families:
In 2004 “Mother Only and Mother and Other” was reported as perpetrator for 40.6 percent of child deaths and “Father Only and Father and Other” accounted for only 15.6 percent.
Is misandry protecting moms who murder and maim?

< ![CDATA[Yes, and "Child Protective Service" in the states is a taxpayer funded misandry group. When I was foolish enough to report what my ex-wife was doing to my son, they excused and concealed the truth, went on a witch-hunt against me, the father, then lied in court to get the outcome they wanted. That outcome is of course a mother free to abuse a child without concern of some meddling father trying to put a stop to it. Never mind the statistics and the word of a four year old boy, its hatred for men that rules.]]>

< ![CDATA[Keep blasting away Teri!
It is amazing how much misandry and self hating men there are out there.
You should hear some of the names I get called, just for pointing out that the Peonage Law exists!
I guess standing up for your rights, is, if you are a man, abusive!
On that basis, I suppose John Murtari deserves what he gets too.]]>

< ![CDATA[So why not construct a data base of these women, promoting its distribution, with photos and/or video especially after these women are found out. Hell, and any feminist even if she has not done the act as well as someone who helps contribute to the act as well?
Or has that already been started?]]>

< ![CDATA[For twelve years I’d go to a government agency to report about my wife beating both me and the children.
All without exception said there is no such agency for men. Your only recourse is to divorce your wife.
When I finally did it, she told the court that in fits of rage, I was violently shaking our children.
The court barred me from seeing our children, ordered me to pay her court expenses and ordered two thirds of my income and half of my premarital assets to her.
